Conservatives rebel over two week shutdown reprieve plan
Hard right conservatives oppose House GOP leaders plan for a two week funding gap delay to avert a shutdown. They fear a Christmas deadline could force passage of a bill they dislike while Democrats demand protections for Dreamers and broad hurricane aid. A stopgap would fund agencies through Dec. 22 with a narrow CHIPS fix and ongoing talks on a larger omnibus.

Plan to expand benefits for veterans caregivers advances
A Senate panel advances a $3.4 billion five year plan to extend post 9 11 caregiver benefits to family and friends caring for veterans of all eras. It would start with pre May 1975 injuries and move to include May 1975 to September 2001 cases, offering training, paid breaks, and stipends. The effort faces funding and implementation hurdles but has bipartisan support and backing from DAV and VA Secretary Shulkin.
