Council in July, aiming to adjust to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >changing economic conditions<\/a> and &#8220;right-size&#8221; city spending.<\/p>\n<p>House Republicans are pushing to keep the government funded through November 21 to avoid a shutdown, emphasizing the importance of restoring D.C.&#8217;s funding. However, Democrats insist on policy concessions related to healthcare before supporting the CR, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calling for bipartisan negotiations. House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized Democrats for allegedly favoring a shutdown, while the political dispute continues as the deadline approaches. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">DC funding restored in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-freedom-caucus-comes-out-against-speaker-johnsons-stopgap-spending-plan-just-before-vote\/\" title=\"House Freedom Caucus Comes Out Against Speaker Johnson...s Stopgap Spending Plan Just Before Vote\">continuing resolution plan<\/a> to keep government open<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2232774\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/washington-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Washington, D.C.&rsquo;s<\/a> funding has been restored in a new draft of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Congress&rsquo;s <\/a>continuing resolution legislation, averting the potential of millions in lost money.<\/p>\n<p>The last continuing resolution <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SegravesNBC4\/status\/1968014345314713746\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">did not include a provision<\/a> allowing the district to spend its local budget.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3810150\/biden-cash-windfall-book-speaking-deals-post-presidency\/\">Biden not seeing cash windfall typical of post-presidency<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/3810435\/watch-live-charlie-kirk-shooting-suspect-tyler-robinson-appears-in-court\/\">WATCH LIVE: Kirk shooting suspect Tyler Robinson appears in court<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3810248\/robin-wright-clarifies-uk-move-politics-not-reason-tranquility-steady-work\/\">Robin Wright clarifies UK move: Politics &#8216;not the reason,&#8217; but &#8216;tranquility&#8217; and steady work<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3809488\/house-republicans-short-term-spending-deal-boost-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House Republicans are trying to keep the government open<\/a> through Nov. 21 and avoid a shutdown.
