Leaders in Washington, D.C., condemned a Republican-led continuing resolution that would cut the district’s 2025 budget by 16%. House Republicans announced their stopgap bill to fund the federal government on Saturday that included cutting the district’s budget by approximately $1 billion.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) sounded alarm Monday over what she described as a “$1.1 billion problem” in a plan rolled out by House Republicans to keep the government funded beyond a Friday shutdown deadline and into September.
