House Republicans unveil their plan to avert a government shutdown next week

House Republicans are pursuing a two-step funding plan for the government, according to sources. The first bill would extend funding until January 19, including military construction and Veterans Affairs, while the second part would extend funding until February 2 for the rest of the government.
The White House criticized the plan, calling it "unserious" and a recipe for further Republican chaos and shutdowns. They urged House Republicans to work in a bipartisan way to prevent a shutdown.
Lawmakers face a deadline to pass a spending plan by Friday, or government operations will halt. Essential functions will continue, but shutdowns can have negative economic consequences.
