The partial government shutdown continues into its third day as the House faces significant divisions over funding legislation. House Democrats are split, with some expressing reluctance to support a funding bill that includes provisions for ICE, while House Speaker Johnson struggles to secure enough votes from his GOP colleagues amid a razor-thin majority. As negotiations linger, both sides are preparing for a prolonged standoff. The Senate has passed an $839 billion defense spending bill, complicating the situation further. The White House remains hopeful for a resolution, but the shutdown is expected to extend longer than anticipated, with no clear end in sight as lawmakers return to address the issue.
