The US is edging towards another government shutdown after the lower chamber of Congress failed to pass a spending bill to keep federal agencies open.

Funding is set to lapse at midnight on Friday unless Republicans and Democrats can agree on a way forward.

Elon Musk is pushing for the move – the Tesla boss has been tasked with identifying spending cuts by co-leading the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
