'CALL THEIR BLUFF': Trump's Threat To Lawmakers After Spending Deal COLLAPSES, Amazon Workers STRIKE

[@svenshipman3612]

If congress stopped getting paid if the govt shuts down they would get things figured out

[@darylboldin4732]

Problem is once the government reopens they get back pay 💰

[@SB-oe7lu]

President Musk and his sidekick Trump shut the bill down so that they could include an increase in the debt ceiling so that in February President Musk and sidekick Trump can provide huge tax cuts to millionaires...

[@joedirt6222]

What are these "falsehoods" you both keep referring to? Please be specific. This bill was terrible for the American people!

[@SB-oe7lu]

President Musk and his sidekick Trump shut the bill down so that they could include an increase in the debt ceiling so that in February President Musk and sidekick Trump can provide huge tax cuts to millionaires...

[@user-td2lg1fl6h]

Seriously. That bill was to fund a new football stadium in DC and salary increases of 60k. The Hill having these two muppets regurgitate msm talking point defeats the point of watching the Hill.

[@rajranch7885]

Close it down.

[@lizs1572]

No solutions for the American people. Shut it down and get the job done. Sick of these pork belly bills 😢😮

[@SB-oe7lu]

There will NEVER be any solutions for the American people under President Musk and his sidekick Trump's term in government.

[@kellys7018]

It’s expensive to shut down the government, and we pay for it.

[@ThatGuyz82]

Good. Call it and force them to quit playing with our future.

[@SB-oe7lu]

President Musk and his sidekick Trump shut the bill down so that they could include an increase in the debt ceiling so that in February President Musk and sidekick Trump can provide huge tax cuts to millionaires...

[@CATJAMstudio]

What falsehoods? Why can’t they say?

[@freeindeed5393]

Weren’t they voting a $60k per year pay raise for themselves?!?! Wanted a new pro football stadium in DC!?!?

[@user-td2lg1fl6h]

Imagine voting for your own salary increases. That should be illegal

[@markocroatia1]

Shut it down then!

[@Carma123]

Congress gave themselves a raise!!!!

[@HeroInTragedy]

Why say he posted inaccurate statements but not say what he said or why they are inaccurate? It sounds to me that it's a good thing we have billionaires looking out for the American people because congress and the media will not.

[@angela2091]

Also a genius who processes things faster than the average person.

[@user-td2lg1fl6h]

Also common sense. Why pass all these bills when the incoming administration and leadership dont agree with it.

[@cesar.hcr.55]

Says the non-working Americans wanting 40% Raise 😅😅

[@plumlogan]

You can hear Jeffries spelling out the media's headlines for them. Whatever. Shut it down.

[@plumlogan]

"It's funny to imagine what Kamala Harris is thinking" What? Who has ever wondered what Kamala was thinking, besides Kamala?

[@Helofelokids]

When i was a fed employee we loved shutdowns! We got a bunch of time off and they always gave us retro pay anyway. Anyone who says they wont get paid is full of it.

[@zheyuanhuang7716]

This provides a good argument for the importance of DOGE

[@purebredamericanmutt]

It's not a politician or Trump saying something about the bill. We the American citizens are tired of the spending on everything and anything.

[@Alarik52]

Uh, Neither party is about helping the citizens - only their wealthy donors. The pork will remain - it'll just go to more companies, and less citizens. Just like the Covid relief - people had to pay it back, businesses were excused the debt. Business taxes USED to bring in ~30% of revenue, now even with our far larger economy it's only ~11%. Meanwhile people pay more.

[@purebredamericanmutt]

@Alarik52 yeah government and trust never will go together. I'm old and put swm on paperwork I don't expect or want the government/taxpayers money.

[@ItsyBitsyDreamstead]

I don't think Johnson was thrown off guard because they're not backing him, I think he was thrown off guard because they're actually paying attention and he got caught.

[@neborailing8235]

Elon was appointed to do this?

[@jonnyoneplate]

So you support dictatorship?

[@lisabeam8315]

Falsehoods? YOU SHOULDN'T SPREAD MISINFORMATION.😊

[@Jdevil21]

We can do a bill with one page. Just for the debt limit only.

[@ronaldnelson6692]

But that one page wouldn't be able to hide all the useless spending that the Democrats want. Like their pay raises.

[@joser3184]

Use zero pages. There is no need to raise the debt limit since on January 21st the budget will be cut by billions. As promised by Mr. Trump. If this failed bill didn't need a raise, one will never be needed.

[@krystabelle36]

Federal workers were not lining up at food banks

[@faralyn11]

What were the falsehoods???? Explain...You put it out there, now back up the statements. Who are these two???

[@freeindeed5393]

Oh the poor federal employees had to go to a food bank! Give me a break!!

[@Carma123]

Hakeem Jeffries is a radical in the worst of ways. His brother wrote a book on race and politics.

[@gabrieljimenez9946]

Nation park 😂. Bro just walk in there wont be anyone to stop you. Let it shut down

[@johnwhite8401]

Shut down until Trump is back in charge. We don’t give a flying F

[@Alarik52]

Great time for a foriegn nation to make a move, military not being paid.... history has lessons there (Shays Rebellion). It's amusing when people agree the government should NOT pay it's bills. As if that works out for anyone.

[@mainzergirl9610]

You blame Musk, Trump etc, not Biden or Harris. BTW none of those 4 have a vote. The House passes these bills. Blame them.

[@pamnelson9454]

1500 pages… Christmas break Oink

[@jonnyoneplate]

Section 605 look into it

[@rebeccasmith8567]

Musk is not lying. You are. Shame on you!

[@MyrLin8]

The Hill is sliding badly to the left. Iie better.

[@charlessnyder149]

The government funding section was only 6 pages.

[@samiwashington9690]

it should be down until good solutions came.

[@FUNKYMONKEYMOMMA]

Sounds rediculous to say elon is running the show. Trump is very vocal, and he wouldnt allow it

[@willammulhearn6633]

All about heresay. Are you afraid to expose what was in that piece of trash spending act? Question, are you fake news or wrong half news?

[@AshleyBidensBathTime]

Democrats warn that democrat billionaires will no longer control the country 😂

[@gustavozamora1445]

Instead of defunding the police we should have defended the congress employees and see how fast thing get done,

[@ednaamck3831]

Fed. shutdowns happen in the 3rd or 4th quarter. This gives federal time to collect taxes for needed revenue to pay tax refunds. Also, POTUS-elect needs to step aside and let current POTUS and COTUS do their jobs!.

[@lisafoy1328]

My message to Americans: it's time you woke up, realize that your battle is with the super rich greedy.. Not hard working immigrants.. it always was

[@ruthsaunders9507]

Johnson spent all that time with him and showed how slimy he is by trying to push this trash through.

[@ThatGuyz82]

"Real World Implications..." no. Government stops spending money. The real threat is the economy shutting down and people realizing that nothing important is actually affected.

[@Sneaky-Sneaky]

I had to double check to make sure I wasn’t watching msnbc! They actually think Trump pays attention to back bench Democrats nobody has ever heard of…😂🤣

[@hell-o-kitty24]

Congress in on check! Lol..

[@patriciamiledi3957]

Why don't you tell us what exactly is in the bill.

[@Alarik52]

It's usually available online if you bother to look. Most don't, they just take what others tell them as truth.

[@CATJAMstudio]

lol When have billionaires not been running the show?

[@jpvoodoo5522]

Shut it down for 6 months. it will cut spending in half

[@Magnetroman]

Previous time something like this happened McCarthywsousted by a group led by Matt Gaetz. We know what is happening to him.

[@rhwinner]

We don't need to hear your editorial on what's going on. We tuned in for the facts. Just stick to that if you can.

[@ryanatthejobsiteomit8027]

Everyone gets a longer holiday. Shut it down

[@krystabelle36]

Regular workers will be fine

[@terrycosby2078]

You have to begin somewhere.

[@debramiller7127]

This Female REPORTER, NEEDS TO LEARN HER OPINIONS MEAN NOTHING, AND TO KEEP THEM IN HER HEAD,. AND NOT SPEW THEM OUT OF HER MOUTH

[@debramiller7127]

Jefferies isn't in control now,

[@hunk2176]

Make Elon Musk as the HOUSE SPEAKER👍❤️🙏🏻

[@Alarik52]

He can't hold elected office i believe.

[@rdarnold86]

Falsehoods Falsehoods....

[@TheGrindcorps]

Shut it down and don’t open back up until we have a 50% cut to discretionary spending minimum!

[@Alarik52]

Or we could just go back to 1950's taxes, 90% on earnings over 250k. The rich still got richer then, but the middle class was comfortable.

[@TheGrindcorps]

@ nope. We don’t need the federal government for the most part. We could do a 90% cut and be fine. In all honesty, we need to scrap Social Security and Medicare too. The EU is doing fine and they don’t have such an extreme central government. We need to be more like the EU and do things at the state level.

[@thinkwhatwehavetolose.6414]

It was a Democrat bill.

[@Alarik52]

Killed by social media and a billionaire. Some don't see the conflict of interests - but they're happy with someone behind a curtain.

[@karmakat77]

Was it take your child to work day?

[@johnwhite8401]

Mike tried to shove the bill through quickly. He’s gotta go. Elon for speaker. Another cat with so much money, he can’t be bribed or threatened, while ACTUALLY DOING HIS JOB.

[@terrycosby2078]

FJB

[@LawsonBarnette]

Could these two be a little more biased? Based on what they're saying, it should be a free-for-all. No need to be critical - spend spend spend!!!

[@kaijohnson5685]

"Republican King Maker" - Like Trump needed Musk?

[@djbuddy]

Where's Robbie

[@trathukexamluocviet9260]

who care

[@dmp1962]

Jeffiers speech patterns are disturbing.

[@genesioz]

Use Vivek's funding bill

[@krystabelle36]

Elon isnt a strong personality..

[@Alarik52]

Both parties are run by corporate billionaires. It's not exactly a 'new' thing.

[@KathyIngram-iz5kl]

MUSK GROW UP

[@coleshores]

the TDS is strong with this one...

[@lizs1572]

Government isn't shutting down. Read the bill

[@Alarik52]

Chaos creates more opportunities for profit, or avoiding responsibilities.

[@Artur-Itas]

REED RICHARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
