Summary
The Republican-led House passed a stopgap bill to prevent a government shutdown, funding operations through March 14.
The bill, which excludes a debt ceiling increase demanded by Trump, includes $100 billion in disaster aid and a one-year farm bill.
The measure now moves to the Senate hours before 12:01 a.m. Speaker Mike Johnson faced internal GOP divisions and external pressure from Trump, who opposed earlier bipartisan agreements.
Democrats criticized the process as prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires over critical programs like cancer research, highlighting tensions ahead of Trump’s return to office.
The best part is he won’t have the self-awareness to stop. When I need a silver lining, I think of all the shit Elon is eating and will continue to eat until he is pushed out.
