House Republicans are voting on spending bills that would cut funding below the frozen levels lawmakers agreed to as part of the debt ceiling negotiations Some House Republicans privately expect a spending fight to trigger a government shutdown in October,. Speaker Kevin McCarthy's ranks include members who are skeptical he can pull off another legislative survival by the end of September — with worker furloughs and shuttered federal services at stake. Government shutdowns — like the Trump-era shutdown over border wall funding from December 2018 to January 2019 — can cause disruption and hardship. With most functions of government lacking funding, federal benefits like food stamps would halt, and services like national parks would be closed. Only workers deemed essential — such as military and federal law enforcement — would be allowed to work. Those not on the list would be furloughed until the government reopens.
