House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced a plan to convene members of Congress for a vote on a bill aimed at preventing a government shutdown as the deadline looms. The current government funding is set to expire at midnight tonight.
House Democrats have expressed concerns over billionaire Elon Musk's influence on government negotiations. Musk's recent actions led to the collapse of a bill that would have ensured government funding. Democrats are questioning the extent of Musk's political power and whether he is acting as a 'shadow president'.
