Summary
The U.S. Senate approved a bipartisan stop-gap funding bill to prevent a government shutdown, defying Donald Trump’s demand to suspend the debt limit.
Passed with broad support in both chambers, the bill maintains current funding levels while adding $100 billion in disaster aid and $10 billion for farmers.
Trump’s push for debt ceiling suspension, backed by Elon Musk, caused turmoil among Republicans but failed to pass, highlighting cracks in Trump’s control over the party.
Democrats criticized Musk’s influence, while House Speaker Mike Johnson called the outcome a necessary compromise for future GOP priorities.
No they didn’t? They said the republicans would have to be fiscally responsible. I’m saying they’re still not going to be fiscally responsible, they wanted rid of the ceiling so they could be even more fiscally irresponsible.
You’re missing the sarcasm where the party that says they are the fiscally responsible ones won’t get their way of being extremely fiscally irresponsible.
In other words, GOP = pure lies
Gaslight Obstruct Project - as per standard procedure.
And most importantly, musk wanted to do that while Biden is still in office so they could blame the Democrats for it later. Complete lack of shame
