Update: Trump responded this morning.
I get where the conservatives are coming from voting CR 2.0 down. Raising the debt ceiling to allow $5 trillion added to the deficit in five years is deeply concerning since we are basically bankrupt. The US is already on the road to a $50 trillion debt in under ten years thanks to the Democrat administration. However, if you trust Donald Trump, he needs this to enact his plan of reconciliation.
Whichever way you lean on this issue, you might want to contact representatives.
We might have to let Democrats shut the government down. However, Republicans just made an announcement that they have a new deal.
Here are the Republicans who voted no on CR 2.0:
Rep. Aaron Bean, Fla.
Rep. Andy Biggs, Ariz.
Rep. Josh Brecheen, Okla.
Rep. Tim Burchett, Tenn.
Rep. Eric Burlison, Mo.

I fully trust President Trump when he said he would make the cuts later but with the CR funding fully all the democrat’s schemes he may never get the chance. Zero chance demrats will back down from viciously attacking Trump. Assuredly, they will start their lawfare again with many rinos in Congress and be well funded. SHUT IT DOWN and put the pressure on demrats.
Too many are missing the point on the “debt ceiling”. It’s not like Trump can use DOGE to make massive spending cuts on day one, as some are saying. His administration will hit that ceiling soon after taking office and that’s why Trump wants to take it off the table. There are still Republicans in the Senate who will thwart the efforts of Trump, Collins and Murkowski at least. There are others who are iffy. I would trust Trump to understand the best way forward than any of those politicians. His previous testimony in front of Congress proved he knew better than those politicians.
On the floor Chip Roy sounded like a democrat. He was complaining about “tax cuts” Without “spending cuts”. Didn’t the Trump tax cuts actually bring in More revenue.
