The knives are out against House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and his 1,527-page, multi-billion-dollar continuing resolution (CR). The man who promised in September NOT to pass a "Christmas omnibus" bill tried to do exactly that with a pork-filled, dirty-deal SPENDING SCAM.
President Trump, along with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy -- heads of the incoming Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) -- eviscerated Johnson for trying to pass this latest "Nightmare Before Christmas." On social media, all three men blasted Congress' $70,000 (40%) pay raise, $60 BILLION for Ukraine, millions for a new stadium in D.C., and much more.
In addition to calling the CR "destructive," "ridiculous" and "extraordinarily expensive," Mr. Trump explained, "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."
Musk played offensive early and often yesterday on X. Among other things, he said the CR is "One of the worst bills ever written. He even called it "CRIMINAL" and "horrible," encouraging the GOP to "Kill the bill." Ramaswamy read the entire 1,500+ pages and said: "(I)t's full of excessive spending, special interest giveaways & pork barrel politics."
The criticism extended well into the halls of Congress. "America First" Republican lawmakers across our nations capital, who clearly see the CR as a Christmas giveaway to Democrats, RINOs and the D.C. Swamp, are refusing to support Johnson and his dirty-deal SPENDING SCAM.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shared on X last night that all House votes were canceled and "No communication, planning, or conference meetings have been called." So, as of this writing, we're not sure exactly what Johnson and the Uni-Party have up their sleeves today.
But President Trump said in a joint statement with VP-elect JD Vance yesterday, "If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF." Musk agrees: "'Shutting down' the government (which doesn't actually shut down critical functions btw) is infinitely better than passing a horrible bill."

TRUMP ON DIRTY-DEAL SPENDING SCAM: "TOTALLY AGAINST" AND "A BETRAYAL"
President Trump has spoken, and FOX News reports he's "totally against" the dirty, SPENDING SCAM deal released by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) last night. In a joint statement with VP-Elect JD Vance, Trump said a temporary-funding bill filled with "Democrat giveaways" is "a betrayal of our country."
The Hill says Johnson is already considering a "Plan B" to avert a government shutdown by midnight Friday. Due to "intense criticism" from fellow Republicans, Johnson may pull his dirty SPENDING SCAM deal and replace it with a "clean" continuing resolution (CR).
