House Republicans are racing to finalize a stopgap funding bill to keep the government open through November 20, with added provisions for lawmaker security in response to rising threats following the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Speaker Mike Johnson has signaled support for enhanced protection measures and a fast-track review of pilot programs for security. However, Democrats are resisting, insisting that any funding extension also include critical healthcare provisions—especially expanded Affordable Care Act tax credits. The looming September 30 deadline for government funding adds urgency, as a shutdown would disrupt agencies and services nationwide. Disagreements over the scope of the bill, particularly over whether to include policy riders beyond basic funding, threaten to make the funding resolution a partisan flashpoint. The coming days may force compromise—or heighten political risk—for both parties.
