The continuing resolution is dead after Donald Trump, the DOGEs, and the people came out against it. Donald Trump issued a strong statement earlier. The backlash from people on social media backed them up.
We killed the bill! It was voted down, and Speaker Johnson is allegedly planning a clean bill.
Bill Ackman explained how it was done:
People have expressed skepticism about how @DOGE can be effective without any formal authority. I think today’s events around the spending bill provide a road map for rapid DOGE progress.
There are three steps to successful DOGE execution:
Step 1 Transparency
@VivekGRamaswamy read the bill and summarized the contents on @X.
Step 2 The People Speak
The people including @elonmusk express their disgust with the bill calling out particularly egregious waste for color on the contents.
Step 3 The Congress Reacts
Faced with a spending bill that the people don’t like with the risk of being primaried for supporting a bill filled with pork and other waste, the bill fails to garner needed support to pass.
With its first test case, @DOGE shows how it is done.
As @DOGE identifies waste or bad regulations, it just needs to follow the three steps.
Power to the people.
Elon Musk threatening primaries!
BREAKING: Fox News reports that @ElonMusk’s posts vowing to fund primary challenges against Republicans who support the Continuing Resolution have effectively killed the bill.

Speaker Johnson is a liar. He said he’s on a chain with Vivek and Elon and claims they understand he doesn’t want to vote for it, but he’s between a rock and a hard place. That wasn’t exactly true. If he didn’t want to vote for it, he wouldn’t vote for it.
Speaker Johnson says we have to do this spending bill.
No we don’t and no he doesn’t. He can legally shut down the government.
Johnson is terrible. Vacate the chair. Primary him.pic.twitter.com/f2XMLDN7hI

Unless @DOGE ends the careers of deceitful, pork-barrel politicians, the waste and corruption will never stop.
Therefore, there is no choice but to do so.
I wish there was another way, but there is not.

He’s a fraud.
It’s legitimately insane the number of selfies Speaker Mike Johnson has posted with Elon and Vivek.
The worst type of grotesque political opportunism.
Pose for the photo — then backstab them & American Voters behind the camera
It’s truly sick. I doubt he’ll be Speaker for long pic.twitter.com/g3A2yGbrMP

Get rid of Johnson. Let him go back to the bayou empty handed. He has not done anything for the people since he became speaker. Gotta be somebody in the party who is more on the same page as Trump and “We the People”.
There’s a pattern with Mike Johnson. Every time he makes strong maga sounding statements to the press and sounds really red-pilled then …. wait for it ,,, he subsequently caves to the Democrats in a horrible way. Every single time. Mike Johnson is the snake that gives you a big happy smile right before he bites you.
His preceding statements this time were about no more funding for Ukraine and about being against men in bathrooms. Then POW! He rams through the CR bill. He tried to get on people’s good side then jam a Democrat bill through hoping they don’t read it. He needs to go.
Fox was told that there was a push by House Republicans to potentially vote on the interim spending bill if they feel they have the votes in the next hour
They. Were. Going. To. Screw. Us.
Now they’re going to claim victory and that they “saved” us from this travesty. We know better. Vote accordingly.
Sounds like Thune isn’t too happy about the influence of ‘social media’. It isn’t that social media ‘killed’ the bill, it is the power that Elon Musk has with his ability to fund opposition candidates. Of course Thune doesn’t dare mention his name one way or another. The people Now have a representative Outside of government with the power to effect a needed change.
