Johnson looks to pass stopgap as government shutdown deadline looms

As the March 14, 2025, deadline approaches, Congress is attempting to pass a continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown, which could disrupt essential services like Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense programs.
House Republicans, supported by President Trump, proposed a continuing resolution that increases defense spending while cutting non-defense programs, facing strong opposition from House Democrats.
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.
