Overview
With the government's funding deadline looming, congressional leaders unveiled a 1,547-page stopgap funding bill to avoid a shutdown until March 14. The bill includes over $100 billion for disaster relief, $10 billion for farmers, a one-year extension of the farm bill, and provisions covering health care support and investment restrictions in China. Despite bipartisan negotiations, some Republican concerns persist regarding the bill's extensive scope and adherence to budget processes. House and Senate votes are anticipated before the Friday deadline.
