Lawmakers face a Dec. 11 deadline to extend federal funding or trigger a government shutdown — just weeks before Republicans lose their majorities in the House and Senate. And after moderate and progressive Democrats successfully campaigned to end the war in Iran, some in the party now say any year-end spending measures must tie up cash for the military conflict.
