What Senate Republicans are saying after Trump tanks government funding bill

As President-elect Donald Trump's comments tanking House Speaker Mike Johnson's short-term government funding bill sent House Republicans into a tailspin Wednesday night, Senate Republicans were left to try to make sense of the remaining pieces.
Congress must act to fund the government by midnight on Friday or risk a shutdown. With the House back at the drawing board, the clock is ticking.
The nature of government funding bills means that the Senate is usually in a wait-and-see posture until the House acts. That's particularly true this time around, where Johnson has to wrangle his slim House majority into passing legislation that Trump will find palatable before the Senate decides whether they can accept it.

They’re probably muttering to each other over their navy bean soup about “coequal branch of government” and trading stock tips as usual.

In my opinion, there is not enough discussion about the fact that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have ceased to exist. The man in the White House right now is Donald J. Trump. His term started a little early. Because nature abhors a vacuum.

Every Republican will have to vote for a clean CR. Johnson doesn’t have his own party on board for a clean CR.

Probably right. They should be remembering all the interference in the executive branch the congress has been doing. And the USSC

“...Congress must act to fund the government by midnight on Friday or risk a shutdown...”?
Let me correct this.....
“...Congress must DO ITS JOB to fund the government by midnight on Friday or risk a shutdown...”
I never in my life had a job that I could dictate to the boss what part of my work I wanted to do and when I wanted to do it!!
