Republicans in Congress will try to pass a stopgap spending bill this week to avert a partial government shutdown and keep the government running through September, though they’ll need Democrats’ help to do it.

The 99-page stopgap spending bill, which House Republicans released over the weekend, is required since lawmakers haven’t made any progress conferencing the dozen annual government funding bills that were supposed to become law by Oct. 1.

The continuing resolution, the third since October, would fund the federal government for the rest of fiscal year 2025 — marking the first time since fiscal 2013 that Congress has leaned on stopgap spending bills for the entire year, according to a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.

    Can I do multiple 2k donations? if not what decides a “separate entity” in the donations because if this isn’t addressed it might just be more paperwork and not do anything.

      Well it sucks cause capping donations really just means its reserved for the rich in the society we built. We have all these problems that feed one another that its one big tangled mat of misery.

        Also why you have people giving huge donations to politicians who align with corporate interests.
