Congressional Democrats and Republicans have eight days to strike a funding deal before the government goes into a partial shutdown.
  • Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a new temporary government funding proposal with key amendments from the original bill he put forward earlier this month.
  • The new proposal goes against Donald Trump’s wishes and makes some concessions to Democrats.
  • The new bill would fund the government through Dec. 20 and does not include any part of the SAVE Act, the Trump-backed election security proposal that would require people to show proof of citizenship to register as a voter.
  • The previous version of Johnson’s bill, which Trump preferred, was attached to the SAVE Act and would have funded the government through March 2025.

    Yeah, I’m sad Jackson got redistricted out of his seat, but hopefully he will win his State Attorney General race and be well positioned to take a US senate position or maybe even run for governor down the line.

      I’ve been following him since 2020 as an NC state representative for a different district because he gave no-nonsense updates about covid and then the Floyd protests.

      I just want to clone him and have him in both the federal and state positions, lol. We need more people like him in government, not less.
