 <p>The US has just seven legislative days to avert a government shutdown, with a Defense Appropriations Bill still pending. This bill would be a focal step toward funding the government in the long term. However, a lot still needs to be done to prevent a shutdown and avert a US National debt crisis.</p> 
 <p>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says that the battle lies within Republicans’ hands, but the fight to relieve Americans’ debt lives on. “We’re going to continue to focus on making life more affordable for everyday Americans, lowering costs, better-paying jobs, safer communities, defending democracy, fighting for reproductive freedom, and, of course, building an economy that works for everyday Americans.”</p>
