The federal government warned its employees a shutdown is imminent as the House passed three out of four Republican appropriations bills late Thursday evening with about 48 hours left to go until the government runs out of money.

As a result of the late-night votes, the State Department, Department of Defense, and Department of Homeland Security were funded for the next fiscal year, although the agricultural spending bill failed to pass. The House previously passed an appropriations bill for military construction and veteran affairs in July, bringing the approved total to four out of 12 bills.

Congress must pass and the president must sign the remaining eight bills by Saturday at midnight before a government shutdown takes effect, unless the Senate and House agrees to a continuing resolution, which can temporarily push back the looming deadline.

The House is expected to vote on such a resolution Friday after the Senate already passed its continuing resolution Thursday. However, it will likely meet opposition from conservative representatives considering the short-term stopgap measure includes $6 billion in aid to Ukraine.

The resolution, if passed by both chambers and signed by the president, would delay the funding deadline to November 17, but that outcome is looking less likely as many are bracing for a shutdown.

House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.), for one, is still drawing out a working solution, refusing to cooperate with the Senate’s spending legislation. Instead, he’s looking for an alternative way to keep the government running.

“I still got time. I’ve got time to do other things,” McCarthy told reporters Thursday at the Capitol. “At the end of the day, we’ll get it all done.”

Once the shutdown comes into effect, the federal government’s 2 million employees and 2 million active-duty military troops and reservists will stop receiving paychecks.
