Congress has 25 days to sidestep a government shutdown, deal with a mountain of deadlines and avoid economic disaster

It is going to be a wild and woolly September on Capitol Hill as Congress faces a massive number of legislative deadlines and initiative launches.

There's must pass legislation - like a bill to raise the debt ceiling and a bill to fund the government - and some long-gestating projects like the Republican plan to reform the tax code and a bipartisan effort to stabilize the Obamacare exchanges.

Throw in unexpected issues like funding for the Hurricane Harvey recovery effort and it makes September likely the most jam-packed month of the year.

We've got a breakdown of all the major legislative events Congress will address in the coming weeks, along with the current state of negotiations and the worst case scenario if lawmakers come up short.
