With the November 17 deadline for stopgap spending authority approaching, House Speaker Mike Johnson's proposals, such as a 'laddered CR', are making it even more challenging to keep the government open. The Republican majority in the House has refused to pass their own bill to temporarily fund the government. The election of a new speaker has not calmed the chaos and infighting among House Republicans, presenting a major impasse and challenge to Mitch McConnell's foreign-policy legacy. House lawmakers are working on a stopgap measure to fund the US government beyond the deadline.
"House Republicans, you guys climbed out of the abyss of hopelessly divided chaos for this?" The latest from @JimGeraghty: https://t.co/rjHqLI39sr

It is better to have a House speaker, even if someone relatively unknown, than to not have one, @JimGeraghty writes. "But so far, under Mike Johnson … it’s just barely better." https://t.co/fQlzHjLxn5
