Summary

Congress faces a Dec. 20 deadline to avoid a government shutdown, likely passing a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government until March 2025.

This would delay a full spending deal but give Republicans more influence under Trump and a GOP-controlled Senate. However, it creates an early funding deadline in Trump’s term, complicating his agenda on tax cuts and immigration.

Democrats retain power to shape legislation due to the Senate’s 60-vote threshold.

Disaster relief funding and House Speaker Mike Johnson’s re-election further complicate negotiations.

    How did Harris try that exactly? By calling them weird? Oh she didn’t go as far as standing up for American citizens with crazy out-there ideas? Oh all her ideas were starting from a position of compromise with Republicans to begin with?

    What the fuck are you talking about? The most “outrageous” she got was calling them weird. She wasn’t demanding billionaires in shackles. Give me a break.
