Summary
Congress narrowly avoided a government shutdown with a last-minute funding bill, though chaos looms under Donald Trump.
Trump and Elon Musk’s influence added instability, with Republicans rejecting a debt ceiling extension tied to billionaire tax breaks.
House Speaker Mike Johnson faced backlash after reneging on bipartisan agreements, killing provisions like pediatric cancer research and prescription drug cost reductions.
Trump’s contradictory social media posts further fueled GOP infighting.
The episode is framed as a preview of tumultuous governance, offering Democrats a chance to emphasize Trump’s unpredictability and potential for disruption.
Well the American people voted for instability now they and the rest of the world will need to sit back with popcorn and watch.
You can afford popcorn?
Only the stuff you put in the microwave.
I wish I was watching a terrible movie. This stuff is unfortunately important.
Is there a timeline graph anywhere of trumps outbursts along with laws/policies made?
You’d think donvict was already AOTUS. I’m already exhausted and I’ve been trying to pay less attention to the drama the qons like to whip up.
I just woke up, so I suppose in this is stupid, but what’s the A?
edit: wow, I guess I was in more of a “just woke up” state than I realized. This was supposed to say “apologize if this is stupid,” not “suppose in this is stupid.”
Depending on the day, I’d say either “asshole” or “autocrat”.
Gotcha, the answer is much appreciated.
