Lawmakers are racing against a Friday midnight deadline to pass a stopgap funding bill to prevent a government shutdown. The main sticking points in negotiations include hurricane disaster relief and farm aid. President Biden has requested $100 billion for disaster relief, which Republicans are hesitant to approve without detailed spending plans. Additionally, Congress has struggled to reauthorize the Farm Bill, opting for a one-year extension instead. House Republicans are frustrated with Speaker Johnson over delays in presenting the continuing resolution text, which could affect his support in the upcoming speakership vote. Meanwhile, Senator Schumer is introducing legislation to address unusual drone activity, aiming to provide local law enforcement with necessary tools. The House is also considering the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Bill, which has already passed the Senate and is expected to receive bipartisan support.
