I don’t have much faith that this will be resolved without a new speaker who can reach across party lines. Mike Johnson is as MAGA as they come, I can’t see him making a compromise that is for the good of the country rather than for the good of his extreme wing of the GQP.

We could potentially have a government shut down for months while Republicans figure this out.

Didn’t they do something similar years ago?

Agreed to keep funding the military, everone else was on their own?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

“This proposal is just a recipe for more Republican chaos and more shutdowns—full stop,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.

The federal government will run out of money by the end of the day on Friday if no new deal is reached.

“This two-step continuing resolution is a necessary bill to place House Republicans in the best position to fight for conservative victories,” Johnson said in a tweet.

House Republicans have a narrow majority, and some of the conference’s more hardline members have already announced their opposition to the proposal.

Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, blasted Johnson’s proposal on X, formerly known as Twitter, as “Pelosi level spending & policies for 75 days - for future ‘promises,’” referring to former Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

White House officials told NPR that the Office of Management and Budget has already started warning federal agencies to prepare for a government shutdown.
