The potential of the government’s shutdown appeared big when President Donald Trump discussed the joint session of the congress on Tuesday night – where he would definitely face a divided audience to follow his sustainable business to cut US bureaucracy.
The leaders of the leading congress have not reached an agreement to keep the lights in the country’s capital before March 14 to fund the federal government – and the time is shorter.
When Democrats want to defend civil servants from mass dismissal, their leaders have encouraged language to be included in the government funding bill to ensure Trump’s administration properly directing funds adjusted by the Congress, efforts to encourage the efforts of the Department of Efficiency of the Government of Elon Musk.
But the Republican party has explained that they will not accept these demands – say they have never happened before.

To illustrate the giant bay between them, many Democrats brought new federal workers to attend the address of Trump to show the impact of slaughtering the Federal Musk institution.
Of the five guests, the minority leader of the Chuck Schumer Senate, DN.Y., invited two fired federal workers, including a USAID worker and a defective Army veteran.
Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego from Arizona invited Kyle Rahn, a defective Army veteran serving three tours in Iraq before working at the Department of Domestic Security, from which he was fired last month.
Democrat representative Brad Schneider from Illinois invited Adam Mulvey, a 20 -year -old army veteran who served several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and was fired from his role at the Lovell Federal Health Care Center at Spring Grove, Illinois, on February 13.
DPR Speaker Mike Johnson suggested that doge cuts should be part of the 2026 fiscal government funding negotiations – kicking the proverb to one more year.
But the speaker said the house controlled by GOP was targeting the short -term clean government funding bill that would extend the current level of expenditure until the end of September 2025, but the specific strategy was still unclear.
Short-term size will “ensure that the government can remain open while we begin to include all the savings that we find through doge efforts and other income sources owned by President Trump-Diawa’s policy to the table,” Johnson argues about NBC “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
Trump supported this plan last week, calling for a clean sustainable resolution – even when the Republican hardline pressed Johnson not to unite anymore on the Bipartisan Bill with Democrats, which did not tend to help Trump with anything.
Some Republicans have expressed concern, including Texas Gop, Tony Gonzales, who said he did not vote on sustainable resolution.
“I am not in Cr. Congress needs to do his job and pass the conservative budget! CR is a code for continuous rubbercamps from fraud, waste, and abuse, “Gonzales posted on X.
Nebraska Rep. Moderate GOP Don Bacon raised fears of clean size because military funding will be held flat.
“Sustainable resolution (CR) is bad for our military and weakens our national security. CR means a new weapons program cannot be started. CR for a year means we are not serious about building a military that will prevent China, Russia and Iran, “Bacon said at X.
Johnson is only able to lose one republican if all members attend and choose and almost certainly need to rely on Democratic voices to prevent closure. Thirty -four Republicans gave votes against the 3 -month funding action at this time December 21 which would end in less than two weeks, describing the need for bipartisanship on the verge of shutdown.
Meanwhile, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries accused the Republican party to go far from negotiations – rejecting the characterization of speakers about the situation.
“Democrat house is committed to funding the government in a way that promotes the welfare of the economic, health and safety of Americans everyday,” Jeffries said in a statement on Sunday.
