🏛️ Face‑off: First Trump sit‑down with Schumer and Jeffries this term ends with both sides trading blame as the funding deadline nears.
📄 GOP pitch: “Clean” 24‑page CR through Nov 21; Republicans say Democrats tacked on unrelated asks and massive new spending.
💊 Dem stance: Protect ACA subsidies, curb rescission/impoundment powers; warn of premium spikes and care disruptions without action.
⏰ Deadline: Government funding lapses at midnight Tuesday; Senate math still requires Democratic votes to avert a shutdown.
🧰 At risk: Troops’ pay, WIC, FEMA, telehealth, and essential services could be disrupted if no deal is reached.
🔎 Watch: Will a short‑term CR pass, do ACA credits get extended, and how do final Senate maneuvers shape the blame narrative?
