6. Anyone understand what is meant by the "two step approach" ?

I see no clear detailed explanation of it in any article. All I could find is this:

The first bill would extend funding until January 19 and would include funding for military construction, Veterans Affairs, transportation, housing and the Energy Department. The second part of the bill, which would extend funding until February 2, would include funding for the rest of the government.

Neither bill includes additional aid for Israel or Ukraine.

Is this something our side would agree to?
