What happened: The US House of Representatives is expected to vote on a proposal to end the partial government shutdown by extending Department of Homeland Security funding for two weeks. Former President Trump has urged swift action on the deal.
Why it matters:
- A government shutdown affects federal workers and public services.
- Extending DHS funding temporarily prevents further disruption while negotiations continue.
MNN Take: The vote aims to provide short-term funding to resume government operations, giving lawmakers more time to reach a longer-term agreement.
