House Republicans propose funding bill, face Democratic opposition

House Republicans have introduced a 100-page spending bill to fund federal agencies through September 30. The bill proposes increased defense spending while cutting nondefense spending below 2024 levels, which is likely to face opposition from Democrats. Speaker Mike Johnson plans a House vote on the bill Tuesday, despite lacking Democratic support. This marks a shift from previous bipartisan efforts, as Republicans aim to pass the bill largely on their own, backed by President Trump. Democrats warn that the bill could lead to a government shutdown and threaten essential programs. They emphasize the need for a bipartisan solution, while House Democratic leaders prepare to discuss their response to the proposed legislation.
