House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-AR) is negotiating with Democrats to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government before the December 20, 2024 deadline for the continued funding of “non-essential” government comes. So far, conservatives are warning Johnson is essentially bending the knee to the left and delivering impediments to Trump’s efforts to reform the government.
Representative Eric Burlison tweeted, “It’s a total dumpster fire. I think it’s garbage… Sadly, this is happening again. I think that it’s shameful that people that celebrate DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency] coming in, and yet we’re going to vote for another (tr)illion dollars to be added to the deficit. It’s ironic.”

Excerpt:
History appears to be repeating itself this week as Congress has brokered an agreement on a massive year-end catch-all spending bill — something it has often done in recent years just before leaving Washington for Christmas break.
The move has some conservatives fuming.
Politico reported, “Congressional leaders have struck a bipartisan deal to push the government funding deadline to March 14 and deliver more than $100 billion in emergency aid for disaster relief, House Republican leaders told their conference Tuesday morning.”
Without action, the federal government faces a shutdown Friday at midnight.
The legislation could be released as early as Tuesday. House Speaker Mike Johnson has not promised the 72-hour review period before voting on it, according to two people who attended a closed-door GOP conference meeting of lawmakers, Politico said.
