Trump Backed Funding Bill Fails As Government Shut Down Looms.
A bill to avert a government shutdown failed on the House floor Thursday night, after Democrats and conservatives rebelled against Speaker Mike Johnson’s new Donald Trump-backed spending plan.
The measure went down decisively, 174-235, failing to meet a two-thirds bar for passage under a fast-track procedure, as 38 Republicans joined 197 Democrats to tank the bill. Two Democrats voted for the bill, and one voted present.
With government funding set to expire at midnight Friday, Elon Musk and Trump lured Congress into a power struggle, demanding that Johnson abandon the bipartisan accord he struck with top Democrats this week and instead craft a bill favored by Republicans. By defeating that Trump-backed alternative, Democrats demonstrated that they won’t help him pass bills if they don’t have a seat at the negotiating table.

You know they want it so that they can say "see look, the government had a shutdown under Biden too!" <rolling eyes>
Trump's shutdown of the government forced some people to have to work without pay. In the five weeks that federal workers couldn't receive a paycheck, how many of them do you think lost things, both tangible & intangible, due to Trump's antics?
The most recent U.S. federal government shutdown occurred from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019, lasting 35 days. This was the longest shutdown in U.S. history, resulting from a dispute over funding for a U.S.–Mexico border wall.
During this period, approximately 800,000 federal employees were either furloughed or required to work without pay, affecting about one-fourth of government activities. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the shutdown cost the American economy at least $11 billion, excluding indirect costs that were difficult to quantify.
The shutdown ended when both chambers of Congress approved a plan to reopen the government for three weeks to facilitate negotiations for a suitable appropriation bill. President Trump endorsed the plan amidst rising security and safety concerns.

Not much the voters, right, left, Dem, Rep, Ind, can do about it, if Elon wants Trump to push removing Debt ceiling. Elections have consequences. Might just as well watch the show and hope for the best. When $277 Million of a $374 Million successful campaign come from one $467 Billionaire, it follows, political debts will be paid. Its not like he could have run for it, himself, having been an illegal immigrant, so working through Donny is the only way he could exert control.

And America asked for it. We were fully warned. Buckle up

With a 36 trillion dollar national debt, I wish the government would just stay shut down.

No, democrats can prevent this and keep all government employees paid, so long as they care more about doing that than printing more money that we dont have. Why arent YOU pressuring them to balance the ******* budget for once in 20 years?
/----/ Isn't the Gubmint shutting down anyway for Christmas and New Years?
Doesn't the Gubmint shut down every Friday? Aren't most of the Fed employees working from home anyway?
In the last 20 shutdowns since Reagan, didn't all of the furloughed employees get back pay?
So why the hissy fit?
Congress needs fixing.
I'm fine with a government shutdown.
We have to fix the things Democrats destroyed. Not sorry if you don't like it.
President Trump needs to start exercising his veto pen.
