Federal funding for agencies will lapse unless Congress approves continuing appropriations.
A lapse forces furloughs, pauses nonessential services, delays some payments, and can significantly hurt economic confidence and public programs.
President Joe Biden, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell, and congressional appropriations chairs control the outcome.
Rank-and-file Republicans, Democratic senators, and White House negotiators decide whether a bipartisan short-term bill or a partisan standstill prevails.
House floor votes, competing continuing resolutions, and conservative amendment demands shift the arithmetic for passage in the lower chamber.
Senate filibuster rules, leadership scheduling, White House redline positions, and threat of veto are the main causal levers.
Midnight ET on Saturday is the legal funding cutoff for the current appropriations.
Track House vote counts, any new CR text, whip statements, Senate cloture signals, and last-hour talks between the White House and congressional leaders in the 24 hours before the deadline.
