Yes, they're planning to threaten another government shutdown 10 days before Christmas.

House Republicans are regrouping around a new version of their bill to reopen the government and raise the federal debt limit, with a vote by the full House expected as soon as Tuesday night.

The measure would raise the debt limit through Feb. 7, as in the original proposal. But it would fund federal agencies only through Dec. 15, creating the threat of another government shutdown just before Christmas if lawmakers fail to resolve a dispute over deep spending cuts known as the sequester.
