Congress Faces Shutdown Deadline, Obamacare Subsidies at Stake
Update: 2026-01-05
Description
Congress faces a January thirtieth deadline to fund the federal government, with Democrats threatening a shutdown to pressure President Trump over expired Obamacare subsidies. Progressive lawmakers like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are pushing for a shutdown threat as leverage, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer aims to pass a five-bill package to fund eighty-five to ninety percent of government operations. Meanwhile, the House faces a floor vote on a Democrat proposal to extend subsidies, with tensions rising over Venezuela and the Justice Departments handling of Jeffrey Epstein files. Negotiations look shaky as the deadline approaches.
