Republicans propose government funding plan to prevent shutdown

House Republicans have introduced a plan to fund the government through September, avoiding a shutdown. The proposal maintains current funding levels and increases defense spending by $6 billion while cutting nondefense spending by $13 billion. The legislation includes provisions for increased funding for ICE and a $20 billion cut to IRS enforcement. It was drafted with input from the Trump administration after negotiations with Democrats stalled. The House is expected to vote on the bill as early as Tuesday, with a Senate vote planned for later in the week. Federal funding is set to expire at midnight on Friday.
