Congress Faces Looming Government Shutdown Without Spending Agreement

As lawmakers return from recess on August 31, 2025, the nation faces a potential government shutdown slated for September 30 unless a funding agreement is struck. Republicans, who pushed through sweeping tax and spending cuts without Democratic support, must now find common ground to pass a stopgap funding bill. Meanwhile, President Trump’s recent move to block billions in foreign aid has intensified gridlock, as Democrats demand transparency and disagree over priorities. The Senate may tweak procedural rules to override Democratic delays in nominee confirmations, further complicating matters. Several hot-button investigations—from the CDC director’s abrupt firing to oversight of Trump-appointed officials—are adding to the tense environment. Without bipartisan cooperation, critical agencies could face disruption starting next month.
