GOP lawmakers clash over strategy to avert government shutdown crisis
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An intra-GOP battle is already brewing over how to avert a government shutdown before the next fiscal year begins on Oct. 1.
House and Senate lawmakers will need to strike a deal on funding the federal government by then – and while that deadline is still weeks away, Congress’ August recess means that they have just 14 legislative days with both chambers in session to come to an agreement.
That will be no easy feat, considering both House and Senate Republicans are working with three-seat majorities.
Meanwhile, there’s already divisions being sown over the viability of a short-term extension of fiscal year 2025 (FY2025) government funding levels, known as a continuing resolution (CR).

Some fiscal conservatives in the House have suggested they could get behind a full-year CR, an idea that mainstream Republicans and defense hawks have balked at.
«I think we ought to start planning for a full-year CR,» House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., told reporters last week. «A funding freeze in a setting of 2.7% inflation actually is a real cut in the size of the scope of government.»
Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., a member of the conservative group, told Fox News Digital, «I would be open to that.» He added, however, «But really, a CR is kind of a surrender.»
Others, like Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., said, «I never like CRs, but we’ll see how it plays out.»
But one House GOP lawmaker who spoke with Fox News Digital under the condition of anonymity argued it could have dangerous effects on military funding.
«It’s absolutely ridiculous,» the lawmaker said. «That destroys our defense. I mean, if it’s a CR encompassing everything, that’s…contrary to everything they’ve ever said before. But when has that stopped the Freedom Caucus?»
The idea of extending the previous year’s government funding levels has traditionally been anathema to Republicans, particularly in the House, where lawmakers have tried for several years to pass 12 individual, single-subject spending bills.

It’s not something that’s been accomplished in years, however. And with Republicans having spent months working on President Donald Trump’s «big, beautiful» policy bill, GOP lawmakers have acknowledged they’ve been left with precious little time.
Many of those lawmakers suggested some sort of short-term CR could be likely to give appropriators more time to reach a deal while avoiding a temporary shutdown.
«I mean, we seem to be having trouble getting the appropriations bills moved through, and so we’re going to have to do something,» Rep. Lloyd Smucker, R-Pa., told Fox News Digital. «And I think if we’re doing a CR that keeps funding levels close to where they are now, a lot of members of the conference would support that.»

One source close to the House Appropriations Committee told Fox News Digital they believe a short-term CR is a likely scenario, but did not mention the prospects of a year.
«I don’t know that we’re there yet, but if that’s the option available, we certainly can’t afford any type of government shutdown – especially under full control by Republicans,» another member, Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital.
Meanwhile, a small group of conservatives is warning they’re dedicated to opposing any form of CR.

«I’m not voting for a September 30th CR. That is totally unacceptable,» Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., wrote on X last week. «I’m giving everyone adequate notice.»
Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., pointed out FY2025 levels were set under the Biden administration.
«Why would we want to do the Biden policies and budget?» Biggs asked.
And many Senate Republicans scoffed at the idea of doing another government funding extension, let alone a year-long CR. Most want to actually give the appropriations process a shot rather than continue the status quo of last-minute government funding.
«I have no interest in a year-long CR,» Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., told Fox News Digital. «I think Congress needs to actually take the responsibility for looking at spending. I don’t think having a CR, which is basically a continuation of a Biden era, is appropriate.»
Rounds and other appropriators want to see the process through, something that hasn’t been accomplished since the late 1990s. But time is running thin for lawmakers, given that the House is already on recess and the upper chamber may stick around for a portion of August.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, argued that the appropriations process, which has been largely sidelined for years because of CRs, could still work, but warned that it could be undermined by another government funding extension or more rescissions packages from the White House.
«We’re going to have an opportunity to be on the floor with an appropriations bill before we go on break for August,» she said. «So I refuse to say appropriations is ‘pretty broken.’»
So far, the Senate Appropriations Committee has finished work on six funding bills, and moved through a key hurdle for the House’s funding bill for military construction and the VA last week. The House of Representatives has passed two of 12 individual appropriations bills, though the two already make up roughly half the discretionary funding Congress must lay out.

Other Republicans similarly do not want to see another funding extension, and would rather focus on passing Trump’s roughly $1.7 trillion budget that he submitted to lawmakers earlier this year.
«Hopefully we don’t have to go get to a CR, but if we get to a CR, what I don’t want is, I don’t want some blowout spending bill, which is what we have done since I’ve been here,» Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fl., told Fox News Digital.
Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., also preferred to tackle Trump’s budget, but believed that lawmakers were already «late to the ball.»
«I would like to go through a regular order where we consider all 12 of these buckets within the appropriations bill, all 2,400 line items, piece by piece on the floor, and make everybody defend their bridges to nowhere,» Marshall said. «I think that’ll cut out a lot of the nonsense.»

The Republican-controlled Indiana House returns to session on Monday to take action on congressional redistricting pushed by President Donald Trump.
And the GOP-dominated state Senate, in a major reversal, will reconvene in one week to «make a final decision on any redistricting proposal sent from the House.»
The proposed new map would create another GOP-leaning congressional district in the solidly Republican Midwestern state.
Indiana is the latest battlefield in the high-stakes redistricting showdown pitting Trump and Republicans versus Democrats to shape the 2026 midterm landscape as the GOP defends its razor-thin House majority.

State House Speaker Todd Huston announced last week that «House Republicans will gavel in on Monday, Dec. 1, reconvening the 2026 regular session. All legislative business will be considered beginning next week, including redrawing the state’s congressional map.»
Despite pressure from Trump and his political team, Rodric Bray, the Republican leader in the Indiana Senate, announced two weeks ago that there wasn’t enough support in the chamber to move forward with redistricting.
DEEP-POCKETED CONSERVATIVE GROUP ‘ALL IN’ ON HELPING TRUMP REDISTRICTING PUSH
Trump, in response, repeatedly threatened to back primary challenges against state Republican lawmakers who didn’t support his congressional redistricting push.
«A RINO State Senator, Rodric Bray, who doesn’t care about keeping the Majority in the House in D.C., is the primary problem. Soon, he will have a Primary Problem, as will any other politician who supports him in this stupidity,» Trump warned in a recent social media post.

Bray confirmed in a statement last week that the state Senate would return into session to take action on whatever redistricting proposal passes the House.
«The issue of redrawing Indiana’s congressional maps mid-cycle has received a lot of attention and is causing strife here in our state. To resolve this issue, the Senate intends to reconvene as part of the regular 2026 session on Dec. 8,» Bray wrote.
Republicans currently control seven of Indiana’s nine congressional districts, and any new map passed by the GOP supermajority in the legislature would likely shift the state’s 1st Congressional District from blue-leaning to a red-leaning seat.
Trump has been twisting elbows in his attempt to make Indiana the latest Republican-controlled state to change their congressional maps. The president has called state lawmakers and Vice President JD Vance visited the state twice earlier this autumn to discuss redistricting.

Trump has also taken some jabs at Republican Gov. Mike Braun of Indiana, arguing that the governor «perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary Votes.»

While Trump has called Braun «a good man,» he has warned he «must produce on this, or he will be the only Governor, Republican or Democrat, who didn’t.»
But Braun, pointing to the president, has touted that he is «committed to standing with him on the critical issue of passing fair maps in Indiana to ensure the MAGA agenda is successful in Congress.»
NEWSOM TAKES VICTORY LAP AFTER LANDSLIDE REDISTRICTING VICTORY IN CALIFORNIA
The push by the president in Indiana is part of a broad effort by Trump’s political team and the GOP to pad the party’s razor-thin House majority ahead of the midterms, when the party in power traditionally faces political headwinds and loses seats.
Trump is aiming to prevent what happened during his first term in the White House when Democrats reclaimed the House majority in the 2018 midterm elections.
Texas, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio have drawn new maps as part of the president’s push. And Florida and Kansas are also mulling redrawing their maps.
«We must keep the Majority at all costs,» Trump wrote recently.
But two federal judges in Texas delivered a blow to Trump and Republicans, by ruling that the state can’t use the newly drawn map in next year’s elections. The Supreme Court put in place a temporary stay on the ruling, ahead of weighing in on the dispute.
Meanwhile, Democrats are fighting back.

California voters a month ago overwhelmingly passed Proposition 50, a ballot initiative which will temporarily sidetrack the left-leaning state’s nonpartisan redistricting commission and return the power to draw the congressional maps to the Democrat-dominated legislature.
That is expected to result in five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts in California, which would counter the passage earlier this year in Texas of a new map that aims to create up to five right-leaning House seats.

Illinois and Maryland, two blue states, and Virginia, where Democrats control the legislature, are also taking steps or seriously considering redistricting.
And in a blow to Republicans, a Utah district judge last month rejected a congressional district map drawn up by the state’s GOP-dominated legislature and instead approved an alternate that will create a Democratic-leaning district ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

La profilaxis preexposición (PrEP) y la profilaxis postexposición (PEP) son estrategias que incluyen a los medicamentos antirretrovirales para prevenir la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH).
En el caso de la PrEP está indicada antes de una exposición potencial al virus, mientras que PEP se emplea tras una situación de riesgo. Ambas buscan evitar que el virus logre establecerse en el organismo humano.
En el marco del Día Mundial del Sida, que se conmemora cada 1° de diciembre desde 1988 con respaldo de las Naciones Unidas, un panel de expertos publicó hoy una guía con recomendaciones y 10 directrices prácticas para facilitar el acceso a PrEP y PEP en adolescentes y adultos que enfrentan situaciones de riesgo.
La guía fue publicada en la revista Canadian Medical Association Journal. Hoy, 40,8 millones de personas viven con el VIH en todo el mundo, 1,3 millones de nuevas infecciones ocurrieron en 2024, y 9,2 millones de personas aún no acceden al tratamiento, según el último reporte del programa Onusida.
A través de la publicación de la guía, se busca desarrollar una prevención más amplia, sencilla y personalizada.
La coordinación estuvo a cargo de Darrell H.S. Tan, infectólogo de St. Michael’s Hospital, en colaboración con el Instituto Canadiense de Investigación en Salud y la Red Pan-Canadiense para Ensayos Clínicos sobre VIH.
Quieren reducir nuevos casos de personas con VIH a través de la prevención combinada y el acceso temprano a opciones farmacológicas.
El objetivo es eliminar obstáculos administrativos y sociales para que quienes pueden beneficiarse con esos tratamientos accedan sin demoras ni requisitos adicionales.
La guía fue diseñada como referencia clara para el personal de la salud y para el público que busca información verificada.
Los autores de la publicación compartieron estas buenas prácticas:
- Ofrecer consejería sobre PrEP y PEP a toda persona sexualmente activa, incluidos adolescentes y usuarios de drogas inyectables, con información positiva.
- Permitir la prescripción de PrEP a cualquier adulto o adolescente que la solicite.
- Evaluar el riesgo de VIH en cada consulta y sugerir PrEP a quienes se puedan beneficiar.
- Si sexo asignado o identidad de género no están claros, el personal de salud se debe guiar para hacer la indicación según la anatomía y situación del paciente y sus parejas.
- Indicar PEP solo ante exposiciones de riesgo real y cuando la persona fuente pueda transmitir VIH.
- Realizar una prueba de VIH antes de dar PEP, sin demorar el tratamiento.
- No prescribir PEP si la persona fuente es VIH negativa, el estatus es desconocido en la población general o la persona con VIH tiene carga viral indetectable.
- En situaciones dudosas, decidir junto al paciente y nunca demorar el acceso a la terapia.
- Comenzar PEP al instante tras la exposición y seguir durante 28 días.
- Se debería involucrar a autoridades, organizaciones y sociedades científicas para promover y monitorear PrEP y PEP.
Los expertos también especificaron que los fármacos que se deberían indicar como PrEP son:
- Tenofovir disoproxil fumarato/emtricitabina: Esquema diario en comprimidos, considerado la opción preferida para la mayoría de las personas VIH negativas.
- Tenofovir alafenamida/emtricitabina: Puede ser considerado en situaciones específicas, por ejemplo, para personas con problemas renales o de densidad ósea.
- Cabotegravir de acción prolongada: Inyección intramuscular cada dos meses. En la guía afirmaron: “Recomendamos CAB-LA 600 mg como opción de PrEP”.
En tanto, los medicamentos para usar en casos de PEP son:
- Bictegravir/tenofovir alafenamida/emtricitabina
- Dolutegravir más tenofovir disoproxil fumarato/emtricitabina
Ambos esquemas deben iniciarse tan pronto como sea posible después de la exposición (máximo 72 horas) y mantenerse durante 28 días.
Esos medicamentos ya demostraron efectividad y seguridad para la prevención del VIH en personas con diferentes perfiles y necesidades, de acuerdo con las recomendaciones actualizadas de la guía.
En diálogo con Infobae, el médico Marcelo Losso, jefe de la sección de enfermedades emergentes e investigador principal de la Unidad de Investigación del Hospital Ramos Mejía y profesor de farmacología de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) en Argentina, comentó sobre la publicación canadiense.
“La nueva guía de manejo de profilaxis pre y posexposición de VIH de Canadá actualiza la recomendación de ofrecer PrEP, siguiendo la posición que previamente habían tomado otros organismos de países de ingresos altos, como los CDC de Estados Unidos y la Asociación Británica de VIH, entre otros. En cambio, la OMS continúa recomendando la estrategia solo en personas de mayor riesgo”, afirmó.
Losso resaltó: “La guía canadiense expande la oferta de PrEP a todos los adolescentes y adultos que lo requieran, independientemente del resultado de su evaluación del riesgo de infectarse”.
La efectividad poblacional de la PrEP, es decir, la capacidad de la estrategia para disminuir el número de nuevos casos, depende principalmente de que una proporción sustancial de quienes la necesitan acceda a su uso.
“Actualmente, una cantidad marginal de individuos recibe PrEP respecto de quienes precisan la estrategia. Esta situación es global, no exclusiva de la Argentina o de otros países de América Latina, y se debe principalmente a la dificultad de implementar medidas preventivas relativamente complejas en población sana”, enfatizó.
El experto añadió: “Implica incorporar al sistema de salud a personas que no necesariamente consultan y luego seguirlas periódicamente, con controles y entrega de medicación. Sin duda, la prioridad actual para nuestros países de la región debería ser la expansión de la implementación de PrEP en poblaciones en riesgo, donde aún mantenemos un déficit significativo”.
