- The federal government issued a stark warning to its employees, signaling an impending shutdown, as the House of Representatives advanced three of the four Republican appropriations bills late Thursday night.
- With approximately 48 hours remaining before the government faces a funding shortfall, House Republicans conducted a series of late-night votes, successfully securing funding for the State Department, Department of Defense, and Department of Homeland Security for the upcoming fiscal year.
- The agricultural spending bill failed to garner enough support to pass. The House had previously greenlit an appropriations bill for military construction and veteran affairs in July, bringing the total number of approved bills to four out of the 12 required for a full fiscal year budget.
