Mike Johnson plan to fund government beset by delays and GOP opposition: 'Total dumpster fire'

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) faces mounting opposition within his party to pass a stopgap funding bill before the shutdown deadline — and members haven’t even seen what is included in the final spending bill.

Negotiators are working to finalize the text of the continuing resolution, which must be passed before midnight on Friday, or federal funding will lapse for a slew of government agencies. However, several GOP lawmakers are upset with the details they have seen, which include billions of dollars in additional funding for unrelated policies on trade, healthcare, and more.
