A continuing resolution proposed by a bipartisan group of Senators appears to have no chance in the House, after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said on Friday that the bill had “no path forward and is dead on arrival.” A government shutdown would mean hundreds of thousands of federal workers being furloughed or forced to work with delayed pay.
