The government shutdown is averted with $100B in disaster aid through a bill introduced by Congress.

Congressional leaders are announcing their strategy to prevent a partial government shutdown before the Friday deadline for federal funding.

The House Republicans made public the 1,547-page document detailing a temporary funding plan for FY 2024, allowing lawmakers additional time to reach a consensus on the budget for FY 2025.

Since the end of FY 2024 on Sept. 30, it has been the second time a continuing resolution (CR) has been extended.

The bill extends FY 2024 government funding levels through March 14, includes more than $100 billion in funding for disaster relief after storms Helene and Milton, and provides an additional $10 billion in economic assistance for farmers.

The government aims to reduce the impact of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) through healthcare legislation, while also revitalizing the RFK Stadium and its surrounding area through separate legislation.

The bill will also pave the way for outbound investment legislation to restrict the outflow of U.S. dollars that benefit Chinese military and technology firms abroad.

The recent drone activity on the Eastern Seaboard has caused concern among private citizens and lawmakers, leading to the reauthorization and extension of the government's Unmanned Aircraft Systems program.

The bill will enable the Treasury to recover some of the funds the federal government spent on rebuilding the Baltimore Key Bridge in order to balance the budget.

To prevent a partial government shutdown, the GOP-controlled House and Democrat-controlled Senate must pass the bill by Friday and have it on President Biden's desk by midnight that day.

Last-minute negotiations delayed the bill’s expected Sunday release to Tuesday evening.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is facing criticism from GOP hardliners for adding unrelated policy riders to a "clean" CR.

Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., informed Planet Chronicle Digital that they had been in touch with the speaker until this weekend, and the only topic of discussion was "How long is this clean CR going to be?" Suddenly, it was revealed over the weekend that they were negotiating a healthcare package that included PBM stuff.

"It is repulsive to present a bill of thousands of pages that no one has read or seen, and then demand a vote without any discussion."

Trump's allies urged for a brief extension of government funding until the new year, giving his administration and a fully Republican Congress greater control over the government's finances.

Some GOP lawmakers expressed concern that focusing on past battles could hinder their ability to advance their agenda during Trump's first 100 days.

In the best-case scenario, the one-seat majority will be subject to his agenda for some time, with him potentially getting three or four seats. This leaves little room for error.
