Summary
Trump and Vance urged Republicans to force a government shutdown instead of passing a bipartisan stopgap funding bill, accusing Democrats of pushing “giveaways” and rejecting a debt ceiling increase.
The move against the stopgap funding bill comes less than 3 days before the government is set to run out of money on Friday.
Their stance follows Elon Musk’s social media threats to fund primary challengers against Republicans who support the bill.
The funding package, which includes disaster relief and farm aid, faces opposition, with critics warning this move could disrupt essential services.
Musk has suggested the government remain closed until Trump takes office in January.

This is his go-to thing now and it’s fucking infuriating that no Magoo even recognizes what he’s doing… This mother fucker owns Congress. He’s literally threatening to buy the next Congress that will be obedient to him.
Where’s your fucking representation Magoos? Going to throw a tea party revolt over this or just put on your kneepads and chapstick for the ol’ musk stick?
FFS I wish this guy would meet Luigi already.
