Johnson looks to pass stopgap as government shutdown deadline looms

- Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the proposal as a partisan attempt threatening essential services, including healthcare and veterans' benefits, and warned Democrats to unite against it.
- Though some military operations will continue, active-duty personnel might face delayed paychecks during a shutdown, putting financial strain on their families.
