If the House GOP passes this budget, then Dems gotta make life hell for the 29 GOP House members who won with the narrowest of margins. Really hope that Cartwright will run again in PA against Bresnahan. Gotta hope that the AZ CD with 60+% of the population on some form of Medicaid (may be a lot of seniors in nursing homes) are fired up and ready to go.

There is zero chance 217 House Republicans agree on a budget - any budget.

Trump will definitely start playing with his cards with those who vote No and they will cave.

+1 Yes this is The Blaze but it’s been confirmed by The WSJ

3 more months of Biden's budget! Thank you Republicans!

Uh, not really. "Clean CR" means Trump will just disregard any part of the budget he doesn't like.

Line item veto was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

That was a different Supreme Court. This one doesn't care about precedent, law or the constitution.

We will see. They may address this in the USAID case. Or at another point - but this is one of the most important changes that the Trump administration is pushing.

The fact that the USAID case has been sitting at SCOTUS since Friday is a very bad sign imho. I think they are going to say Trump's "pause" is just fine and the delay is because Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson are writing a blistering dissent.

There's the procedural issue that TROs are generally unappealable, and the procedural issue that they are asking the government to do something as part of a TRO that usually only asks a party not to do something.

Probably that is not what the Supreme Court is focusing on. Requiring the executive to pay their bills rather than choose not to, requiring the executive not to dismantle a congressionally created agency, those are the important issues. I want the Supreme Court to take their time on this. If we get 3 concurrences and 3 dissents, good. Let's hammer this out, now. Not later. Settle this now. Is Trump a king? Or not?

My very optimistic reading is they are trying to get a unanimous opinion, which would put maximal pressure on Trump to comply. But the absolutely horrendous immunity decision makes me very pessimistic about all things SCOTUS.

lol. No it is not that complicated. SCOTUS is consulting with the federal society on how to rule in Trump’s favorite. Thats is it.

Can the Republicans pass a budget on their own - without support of Democrats? If all of the Republicans fall in line?

Where are the PPs claiming GOP won't vote in lockstep and there are 20 Rs in the House that will vote against this? Get out of here, they are going to all do what they are told.

Whatever. The GOP owns this disaster and whether the country hobbles along for another three months on Biden’s budget or the GOP has a government shutdown, the fact remains that Trump is presiding over a crashing economy and the loss of US global leadership.

He'll do that with any budget.

Real talk, suppose no budget is passed.
Will govt shut down? Why?
Will the IRS stop collecting taxes?
Will the Treasury stop selling bonds and paying Trump's loyalists?

And that goes for dealing with Trump, too. And that if they ever want Democrats' help, they need to seriously change course.

WRONG: Just read Heather Cox Richardson today. If Dems play and let Rs shut down government, it gives him authority to fire everyone except essential employees, of which there are few. We’d lose even more with a government shutdown. I hope the Dems wake up.

Nope! Republicans have a MANDATE and don't need Democrats for anything remember? This is all on them. And I hope Trump does just fire everyone, it will be a much easier lawsuit to get reinstated

Trump won in a LANDSLIDE.

Enjoy being crushed by the landslide!

With one week to go, Mikey is going for the big win: a CR that carries on Biden’s budget.

What happened to all the squawking about getting the deficit and debt under control?

I’ve heard Elon Musk and Rand Paul are working on a “rescission” bill to codify the DOGE cuts. How does that factor into this? And where are we with the debt ceiling? Will that be included in the Biden CR?

NPR is a bunch of feel good personal stories, like an organic hemp farmer in rural Oregon who decided to make hemp soap for inner city school kids in an effort to cut down on toxic chemicals. There is no political propaganda. I’m here for liberal propaganda but NPR isn’t it. It’s really annoying sometimes.
