Just two days before the U.S. government shuts down, the House of Representatives has unveiled and is scheduled to vote on a month-long continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government.

The 165-page bill, called the “Continuing Appropriations and Border Security Enhancement Act, 2024,” was released on Sept. 29 and would reduce funding by almost 8.13 percent for almost all 12 appropriations—bringing the total amount to $1.59 trillion. It would run through Oct. 31.
