In an election year, Congress’s work traditionally dwindles to one job: keeping the government running. This year is no exception, but with Washington more polarized than ever even doing that one thing is looking increasingly difficult.

Democrats want a short-term funding bill that would keep the government running only through Christmas; Republicans want one that stretches until the spring.
