Congress has passed a short-term spending bill to avert a partial government shutdown, just a day before the deadline. The deal is now headed to President Biden’s desk to be signed.

Another Republican incompetent speaker…..idiots….as they try to reelect the biggest idiot…chump
Spineless idiots
Disgusting. The Republicans need a complete overhaul. They will do anything to support Trump. Including letting the government shut down. Absolutely disgusting. Total waste of taxpayers money 😢😢😢😢😢. Disgusting 🫣
The Republicans need to vote out Mike Johnson ASAP!
Motion to Vacate! Also wouldn't be surprised if Hackeem Replaces Shitmer as DemonRat Leader in the Senate. Obama 3.0 Currently Scheming Away
I say shut it down and shut that border while your at it.
Lets GO JOE !!!
20% for The Big Guy 2024!!🎉
WHY…BECAUSE MIKE JOHNSON IS A P@SSY
MIKE JOHNSON IS A FAILURE RINO WHICH HE TRIES TO USE RELIGION AS HIS GUIDE, IF HE DID THE BORDER WOULD BE CLOSED, MAYORKAS IMPEACHED AND HUNTER BIDEN PROCECUTED…KICK MIKE OUT OF SPEAKER LIKE F@CKING NOW…THIS WEEKEND
Bidens for prison!!! They have ruined our country!
THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, AGAIN, HAVE REACHED A VERY FORCED AGREEMENT, TO TEMPORARILY AVOID THEIR NOW FAMOUS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, AS THEY HAVE PARTIALLY APPROVED A PROVISIONAL FINANCING LAW, TO KEEP THE FEDERAL AGENCIES OPERATING FOR ANOTHER 6 WEEKS. THE MEASURE WAS TAKEN AGAINST THE TIME, AND THIS LAW WILL ALLOW OUR GOVERNMENT TO CONTINUE FUNCTIONING AND FINANCING THE STATE EXPENDITURE OF OUR NATION. OTHERWISE, THOUSANDS OF OFFICIALS, INCLUDING THOUSANDS OF AIR CONTROLLERS, WILL BE FORCED TO BE TECHNICALLY DISMISSED.
As a nation, we are frequently forced and forced to adopt increasingly shorter funding measures, rather than agreeing to an annual budget.
Republicans have taken the Government Shutdown Hostage as an excuse to manipulate their baseless political whims if Democrats do not comply with their demands.
And this last agreement taken on Thursday the 18th, 2024, was the subject of bitter negotiations between the Republicans in Congress, who have the majority in "The lower house" and the Democrats in Congress, who have the majority in "The Senate". Just pay attention to the Republican proposals, and see how they manipulate the Democrats with their demands.
Hostage A person held by someone as collateral to force a third party to comply with certain conditions.
It is also understood as a Hostage, an object that is placed as a Pledge or Guarantee, with the intention of forcing a third party to comply with certain conditions.
The first thing that members of Congress must do, as public servants, is to prioritize and make an agreement on the spending of our nation, to provide work, food and public order activities that benefit our citizens, and then make other agreements that They do not put families in our own nation at risk or danger.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT SEEMS THAT WE HAVE ENEMIES IN CONGRESS AND NOT PUBLIC SERVANTS OF OUR NATION.
THE CONGRESSES ARE POSTED BY THE POPULAR VOTE OF THE CITIZENS, AS IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OUR OWN REPRESENTATIVES ARE AGAINST “WE THE PEOPLE”.
"THE GOVERNMENT CLOSURE" It is a very good excuse for us voters, in the next Elections, to replace the congressmen who like to threaten us with this “Controversial Scandal” that goes against our citizens.
“THE GOVERNMENT CLOSURE” means what a father of a family would do in his own house: Close his house to his wife and his children, leaving them without food supplies on the street.
“THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN” is only supported by unpatriotic, corrupt congressmen who do not love our nation.
OUT THE REPUBLICANS
This from Johnson who said he would not do another CR. The more things change the more they stay the same. We've lost the Republic that Franklin warned "If you can keep it".
Will they release a transcript? Will all the Republicans who didn’t comply with January 6 subpoenas now comply? ❤😂
Repulicans spending bill still waiting. What have you passed
Nothing .just attacking each other.
WE KNOW THAT BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS WILL (NOT) DO THE JOB, THAT " WE THE PEOPLE" SENT THEM TO WASHINGTON TO DO!!! IF THER RIDICULOUSLY SALARIES STOPPED, WHEN THEY DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF " OUR" COUNTRY'S BUSINESS
why is it that the democratic party is trying to change this " H.R.1177 – 117th Congress " and what is it having to do with a Q.R. code tattoo ?
this post has been deleted do to the :WE KNOW BETTER ACT : any more post like this one posted before being deleted will harshly enforced you have been warned . your profile has been put on a government watch list " ALL HAIL THE STATE ALL HAIL THE LEADER ! " …….. it is slowly coming to this people wake up !
Just where the heck are they getting money to fund these illegals coming across the border EVERY DAY??? Our question because the people here suffering is getting zit. EXPLAIN??!!!
republicans kicking the can
Speaker Johnson and his christianity, has lied to MAGA/Trump while making a mockery of his integrity, and his christianity. Time to vacate the speakership now. As we stand at the forefront of rapid technological advancement and societal change, it’s crucial to acknowledge a fundamental truth: progress is never free. There is always a cost. This concept, though seemingly simple, has profound implications for how we navigate the future of our nation and its people. And is guided through the profound intuitiveness, coupled with the extraordinary wisdom of our founding fathers. In this social experiment of self governing.
#TrumpGaetz
Shut it down until democrats agree to secure the border and remove people who are not supposed to be here!!!
why is joe biden pushing for a shut down ? what is the W.H. backing it ? why is it the every time we hear about what the democratic party is doing it is to take out rights away ? is it that joe biden is going to call for martial law to take over the state ?
Sooo ABC has gone MAGA. Cherry picking your data and slanting it to seem one way when you fully know there is a more balaced story. I guess you are now FOX lite.
In other words more bread and circuses 😂
Who cares about a Government Shutdown? Can you even remember the effects of any of the last shutdowns? A shutdown, if it even happened, would last a matter of days. Most Government jobs are paid monthly. So the effect would be nil. On the other hand the Democrats will hold the country hostage with the threat of a Shutdown. We need to fix the border…Period.
I think the Speaker is being kind with this extension. If Biden does not cooperate with the border let the government be shut down. The White House needs to compromise. They are out of control. The State of the Union demonstrates that. This country is in a mess because of Biden. The Border (and lawlessness) are the biggest concerns,
It’s only a game of who will pocket more tax money.That’s al folks 😂😂😂😂
And the debt keeps piling up. Again, the taxpayers will be holding the bag for these clowns. Spend the money here in America not in Ukraine.
When are the Republicans gonna grow some balls or wait they don’t have any. I hope all your secret deals for fulfills your evil hearts like I said before they don’t care about us.😊
Do nothing republicans/democrats have spent the past three years whining about the boarder invasion and have done nothing to stop the invasion! Over 100 million invaders, terrorist! 18-35 year old military fighting age males from foreign nations! Aiding and abetting foreign invaders is TREASON!!!!
Our leaders are using tax payers funds to transport/fly invaders from south and central America in private charter aircraft and commercial flights to cities across America! Using tax payers funds and government resources to house, feed and support foreign invaders! Fraud waste and abuse! They all need to be charged with high treason!
Speaker Johnson please shutdown the border or shutdown the government 🇺🇸💪🙏

Was this dress reheasal for a mobster movie? Traitor Joe has to go!
Republicans aren't allowed to do their jobs until after the election but even then, they won't get anything done. I hate the arrogant fake democrats but what the heck is wrong you guys voting in that rubbish.
JOHNSON YOU SIR ARE A TRAITOR AND NEED TO GO
We need stop this man right now his saying he talk to preident trump the preident name is bine
Still kicking the can down the road!
What good is our Congress? We have a serious problem at the border. Wars popping off everywhere. We cant afford food and health care. We have too many government employees and agencies. Our taxes are being used on illegals. But they have to get paid so cant shut it down. The country is running like we have no president and no congress
Our Government is corrupt as Hell 😡
Republicans are still intimidated by the media. They are afraid of what the media will do to Republicans if they cause a shut down. Our country is like your computer with a virus. What’s the first thing you do? Shut it down. Re-boot it.
Our House speaker is just giving us lip service and is failing us miserably shut the government down
Congress are nothing but a bunch of treasonous traitors to WE the People…
Why must they swear an oath to Israel..? Because zionists control america..! Since 1933..!
Well I see Mr. Johnson here. The newest genuine traiter in DC. The man who takes phone calls and has meetings with an ex- president now civilian, discussing what congress is doing and how the mike should proceed. Much much illegal and traitorist mike. Bad bad feux christian.
