fox & friends Co-host Lawrence Jones reported. post X spoke with President Trump and reported that the president-elect was “totally opposed” to CR.
Vice President-elect JD Vance releases joint statement statement He and President Trump criticized CR, saying the bill would “make it easier to hide the corrupt January 6 commission record.”
“The stupidest and most incompetent thing Congressional Republicans ever did was allow our country to reach the debt ceiling in 2025,” Trump and Vance said in a statement. “That's a mistake and it's something we have to deal with now.”
“Meanwhile, Congress is considering a spending bill that would give government censorship and a sweetheart clause to Liz Cheney,” the statement continued. “This bill would make it easier to hide the record of the corrupt January 6th commission, which accomplished nothing for the American people, and which did not address the security concerns that occurred that day. This bill also gives Congress a pay raise at a time when many Americans are struggling this Christmas.
“Raising the debt ceiling is not a great thing, but I would rather do it on Biden’s watch,” the statement continued. “If Democrats won't cooperate on the debt ceiling now, why would anyone think they will cooperate in June under our administration? Let's have this discussion now. And what Chuck Schumer and the Democrats want? We should pass a streamlined spending bill that doesn't give us everything.”
As Breitbart News' Bradley Jay reported, the government funding is set to expire at midnight Friday. The CR “will extend current funding levels because Congress failed to pass each of the 12 government funding bills.”
The Continuing Resolution (CR), which extends current funding levels after Congress failed to pass each of 12 government funding bills, will be voted yes or no until March 2025. It is expected to last until the 14th.
But CR is weighed down by a number of unrelated but consequential and costly provisions, and many lawmakers, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), believe the bill is We do not consider it to be a true CR.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said CR being “full of pork” shows House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) is a “weak, weak man.” said.
CR's controversial items include “a one-year extension of the State Department's Global Engagement Center (GEC), which serves conservative censorship.” The CR also “removes a provision that has been included in spending bills since 2009 to block automatic pay raises in Congress.”
