Thus SUPPORTING watering DOWN their influence and INCREASING a private guys CONTROL OVER the Executive Branch and Legislative Branches of America…
REALLY?
Who IS In Charge ?
I SERIOUSLY doubt this will fly….
Democrats, and those GOPer Lawmakers who want keep their jobs come next year, have to be CRAZY to support this….
If this REALLY becomes a issue?
House GOP Speaker will HAVE TO cut a deal with Democrats to stop a Government Shut Down and get a ‘Clean’ Spending Bill One would think…
Musk just doesn’t have all ‘that’ in the Senate…
This IS the annual ‘Freedom Caucus’ Thing…
Growing calls among hardline House conservatives to incorporate cuts made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) into a developing government funding bill are complicating efforts to avert a shutdown two weeks ahead of the looming deadline.
The pleas are poised to pin Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) into the tricky — yet familiar — position of managing his right flank while keeping the lights on in Washington, which will require some support from congressional Democrats….
…
Reflecting DOGE cuts in appropriations, however, would spark outcry from Democrats and almost certainly lead to a government shutdown — an outcome that Johnson wants to avoid in the first 100 days of the Trump administration, when the Republican trifecta is trying to tick items off their to-do list.
“I don’t know what they’re even talking about,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro (Conn.), the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, said when asked about including the DOGE cuts in the funding bill. “I mean, every day it’s something.”…

Those dynamics are set to come to a head in the coming weeks, when congressional leaders will have to craft a government funding plan and get it to Trump’s desk by the March 14 deadline. Leaders increasingly say that will require some kind of continuing resolution (CR), its length yet to be determined, as discussions about fiscal year 2025 levels continue — a measure that will require at least some Democratic support due to the Senate’s 60-vote threshold….
…
Across the Capitol, however, Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) threw cold water on the idea of codifying DOGE cuts in the spending bill, kicking the effort into the next fiscal year — underscoring the difficult path Johnson will face is he tries to fit DOGE cuts into the spending bill.
“I don’t see how that could work,” Collins told reporters. “We should consider [it] in the FY 26 appropriations process, where we can hear testimony from all of the secretaries and other agency heads.”
