Donald Trump rejects bipartisan plan to avoid a government shutdown, sets up debt ceiling battle
Summary
Donald Trump has rejected a bipartisan stopgap funding plan to prevent a government shutdown, calling for a slimmer bill and immediate action on raising the debt ceiling.
With funding set to expire in two days, Trump and JD Vance urged Republicans to “call Democrats’ bluff” on shutdown threats, warning GOP lawmakers of political consequences if they don’t align.
The bill, criticized for its add-ons, faces pushback from conservatives and some Democrats, while others warn that excluding disaster relief and other provisions could worsen the crisis.
Wait, isn’t he like not sworn in yet?
Elon Musk will actually never be sworn in but somehow he is openly running the country by beating people over the head with bags of money
Someone call the Mario Bros.
He told congress to kill a border bill before he'd even been elected. It doesn't matter that he doesn't officially have power when the Republicans are afraid of him.
He has enough Republicans in congress to be able to mess things up by pressuring them
It's great watching someone who isn't even president yet deciding things after four years of "The president doesn't control congress and can't decide anything on his own."
The Republicans are terrified of saying no to him even when he's not in office.
It's so stupid that the US still acts like electoral results are delivered on horseback. The switch could happen two weeks after the results are in.
