The 1500-page spending plan that had conservatives outraged for the last 24 hours has been pulled, multiple reports are now indicating.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will be heading up Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency in the coming administration, came out hard against the bill early. Late on Wednesday, Trump himself let his feelings on the subject be known.

The rebuke, which built steadily through the day and culminated with a long written statement from Trump in the late afternoon, has forced Johnson back to the drawing board on a plan to prevent a Christmastime shutdown — and maintain the support of his chaotic conference to be reelected as speaker early next year.

Trump released his full statement on Wednesday evening. Notably, he focuses a lot of his attention on the CR’s “sweetheart provisions for government censors and for Liz Cheney.”

The most foolish and inept thing ever done by Congressional Republicans was allowing our country to hit the debt ceiling in 2025. It was a mistake and is now something that must be addressed.

Meanwhile, Congress is considering a spending bill that would give sweetheart provisions for government censors and for Liz Cheney. The bill would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee—which accomplished nothing for the American people and hid security failures that happened that day. This bill would also give Congress a pay increase while many Americans are struggling this Christmas.

Increasing the debt ceiling is not great but we’d rather do it on Biden’s watch. If Democrats won’t cooperate on the debt ceiling now, what makes anyone think they would do it in June during our administration? Let’s have this debate now. And we should pass a streamlined spending bill that doesn’t give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want.

Republicans want to support our farmers, pay for disaster relief, and set our country up for success in 2025. The only way to do that is with a temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS combined with an increase in the debt ceiling. Anything else is a betrayal of our country…

There have been reports of House Speaker Mike Johnson in discussions for a clean continuing resolution with none of the extras. But as of now, there are fears in Washington D.C. that a shutdown is unavoidable.
