“Dozens of House Republicans are undecided or outright opposed to rubber-stamping a Senate-approved budget blueprint for the GOP’s domestic policy megabill, and an all-out whip effort from Johnson and his leadership team — including a private meeting between Trump and key holdouts — has only produced modest gains. If Johnson and Trump can’t flip most of them in the next 48 hours, lawmakers will start to board flights for a two-week recess, denying the president a show of legislative progress as financial markets wobble over his tariffs.”

Johnson won't come back because they're afraid of a tariff revolt.

There is a huge deficit and they are extending the tax cuts. There is nothing to give back. Fed salaries are a tiny portion of spending.

This, plus any administration is supposed to send a budget request to Congress in February. We are not in April and I've not heard anything about the WH budget request for FY 2026. Congress is supposed to review and pass an appropriations bill by the end of the fiscal year (September). This Administration has been too busy taking a sledge hammer to government to do the pesky business of governing.

They passed a budget framework, and say they will be doing individual bills, something which hasn't been done since the President was George W. Bush.

Really? I thought that was Congress, not the White House.

Here is a summary of who does what with the budget.

Note the President submits a budget request. He is supposed to have done this in early February.

Let's all say it together. "Separation of powers."

Let's say "unitary executive". I'm surprised Trump hasnt minted and the trillion-dollar coin and given to himself.

Yeah they said they were going to do that last time and never did.

But they want to do the FY2026 budget by reconciliation in order to avoid bipartisanship or compromise, those four letter words. Individual reconciliation bills? One big beautiful individual bills?

There will be a rescission bill.

The CR that just passed was based off of previous and projected operation costs but these included the operating budgets for USAID (now gone in it’s entirety) and at least 20k Fed employees salaries that no longer need to be paid as well as program funding. What happens to this money that supposedly was already allocated to programs/expenses that no longer exist?
