House Republicans unveiled a short-term bill to fund the government until November 21st, averting a shutdown. The bill includes increased security funding for lawmakers following a recent assassination attempt. Democrats oppose the measure, demanding the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies. Passage requires near-unanimous GOP support in the House and at least seven Democratic votes in the Senate. A bipartisan Russia sanctions bill is pending, awaiting President Trump's approval for inclusion.
