House Republicans reached a deal on a bill to fund the government through October 31, with some provisions that will likely make it a non-starter in the Democrat-controlled Senate.The bill would cut about 8% from all non-defense budgets except for the Department of Veterans Affairs, resulting in a cut of about 1% in the overall budget. It also includes measures from an immigration bill passed by House Republicans in May, and it lacks additional funding for Ukraine.
. However, the bill has been criticized by some hard-line Republicans — enough that it could fail to pass even in the House. House Democrats, who oppose the GOP bill, sent Speaker Kevin McCarthy a letter on Sunday urging him to drop Republicans' party-line bill and instead put the Senate's bipartisan appropriations bill up for a vote. However, some conservative Republicans have threatened to pull their support for McCarthy’s speakership if he compromises with Democrats.
