Shutdown Averted, But What’s Next | Portland Maine News

The House just passed a stopgap funding bill to avoid a government shutdown before the midterms, with Speaker Mike Johnson daring Democrats to block it — saying they’d own the chaos if they did. Passing 220-205 along party lines, the bill buys time until Dec. 4 and lets Republicans push defense, farm aid, and election reform in the remaining session. While some GOP members see it as politically savvy, Democrats slammed it as a rushed, unsolicited move — especially since they wanted to protect federal grants. With the Senate now in the driver’s seat and needing Democratic votes, the fate of this temporary fix hangs in the balance — and the clock is ticking.

87 Billion for Iran War Debate | Portland Maine News

The White House is seeking $87 billion from Congress to sustain operations in Iran, with over $67 billion earmarked for the ongoing conflict—including weapons, logistics, and classified expenses.

Testifying before Congress, top military officials warned of severe shortages without the funds, affecting everything from pay to equipment. Meanwhile, the death toll of U.S. service members has risen to 18 since February, adding urgency to the debate as lawmakers grapple with whether to continue funding what some call a “forever war.” Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
