House Speaker Mike Johnson speaks on spending debate as shutdown looms

[@celesteturner6912]

I don't understand how the conversation is about Democrats not supporting the deal when Republicans not even have all their folks voting yes on this. If Republicans plan to cut the deficit why does the ceiling need to be raised? I pray that elected representatives get the courage to vote in a way that supports those that voted for them.

[@Davidjohnson-zd3bk]

Are you really that dumb... you must be a democrat.. we know your games... you are canceled... no one is afraid of you people... we are now going to give it right back in your face.... agree with Republicans or get moved out of the way.... we the people want change... the majority of Americans demand it... you are now CANCELED
