Reporter’s notebook: Here we again (again)

It seems that a few weeks ago, there was a crisis on Capital Hill as MPs tried to stop the government shutdown.

Well, you have a good memory. But you do not have to be a longer. The reason for this is that a government funding drama was played in Washington just before the last Christmas. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Thought he had signed an agreement that could pass the House with the alliance of Democrats and Republican. It will also be found with democrats through the Senate, which surrounds some of the freight to remove a freight.

Everything seemed fine until the MPs saw the sheer shape of the bill. President Trump-Tattal President-Election-Elections was weighed. Hence Alone Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

And the bill was toast.

The MPs scrambled to collect a slim-down bill to avoid the shutdown of the Christmastime Government-and bothed everything by mid-March.

Guess?

It is mid -march.

The lawmakers failed to work on a overall expense package to run until the next decline. It came after the plan to spend, which we are talking about, it should have worked for the final decline. In fact, several House Republican complained that the law manufacturer failed to pursue 12 individual spending bills by the book. The house has completed something. Senate? nobody. It was led by the Senate majority leader Chak Shumar, DN.Y, when Democrats launched the show last year. Zero bill under John Thyun, the leader of the new Senate majority, Rs.

CNN showed public support to cut the spending and cut Dogi expenses.

Do not forget that Johnson confiscated the speechship in October 2023 promised to handle the appropriation bills one by one. But it was set in reality. He eventually funded the government for 2023 in April 2024.

This is the reason that government funding constantly puts the recocrats in crisis.

The House Republican published an interim spending bill lesson over the weekend. It renews biden-level funding numbers-but social spending makes some cuts in programs and the budget for Washington city. However, there is a small increase in funds for pentagon. Some democratic priorities are reflected in the bill. Nevertheless, the House Republican – who control the House – are demanding a Democrats to join them to help pass the bill. When Republican has a thin majority, democratic votes may be necessary. Rape. Thomas Masi, R-K., had already said that he was not one until he was receiving “a lobotomy”.

During an appearance on NBC’s “Meat the Press” last week, Johnson said that Democrats should help because “government funding is always bipartisan. You must participate on both sides of the corridor to do it.”

Johnson needs to pass the government funding bill to Democrats as he took speechship. In fact, Democrats may have saved Johnson’s speechship in the previous spring. There was an eyelid and a sign that the Democrats could try to buffer any attempt to get him out – especially since he was ready to support a plan to fund Ukraine.

And Johnson, with his anterior, former house speaker Kevin Macarthi, R-Calif, faced criticism for crafting to spend a bill to stop the government’s shutdown, which was needed to pass Democrats.

“Speaker Johnson has cheated (our trusts) by passing three CRs to keep the government open and then forced us to pass, or to vote on two-parts omnipresent, the second is today,” said the rape.

Last year, he threatened to remove the speaker when a temporary expense measures came.

Green said, “This bill was originally a dream and a wish list for the Democrat and the White House. It was completely led by Chak Shumar, not our Republican Speaker of the House.”

Rape Andy Bigs, R-Eries., Was one of the eight GOP members who voted in 2023 to remove Macarthi as a speaker. In that summer, Bigs criticized McCarthi how he spent the bills and took a measure to avoid confrontation with a debt range.

In June 2023, Bigs said, “The speaker formed a coalition with Democrats to get us a $ 4 trillion national date. And I’m worried because they have not repeated that alliance.”

Former Representative Matt Gatez, R-Flow., Is responsible for triggering the resolution that caused Macarthi’s death. McCarthy infection? Before the deadline of a government funding in September 2023, the House stumbled to pass its own expense package, Macarthi took a clean expense measure on the floor passing with Democratic help. Macarthi was out of the door four days later.

“We are going to force him in an acute relationship with one or the other,” said Gatez at that time.

Florida Republican accused McCarthi of jumping “in the back seat” with House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffrees, DNY.

So now the House Republican has prepared a bill that appeals to Republican. And they hope that Democrats will help them support it.

“The danger of shutdown is at that time on them. So they reach better boards,” said Rape Jake Alze, R-Texas.

Alzi said that if all the Senate Republicans supported the package, it would be focused on at least seven Senate Democrats to help break a Philibuster to pursue the plan. Republican holds 53 Senate seats. But 60 Yeas are required to remove a philibuster.

“And if we stop, it is on them,” Elze said.

Democrats found GOP criticism rich – despite the number of Senate.

“This is a question, why can’t they rule?” Asked the rape. Ro Khanna, R-Calif. “You chose a Republican President. You have a Republican House. A Republican Senate. They should be able to vote to fund the government.”

Khanna also destroyed GOP’s “Tech It or Leave It” approach when he was not part of the conversation for this particular bill. Democrats demanded restrictions on Dogi and guaranteed to maintain programs in federal agencies, as well as no cuts in social programs.

Khanna said, “It is dissatisfied to expect democratic votes without compromising for him.” “You can’t say ‘vote on my terms.”

This can be a bumpy week. The House has planned to pass the bill and leave the city, leaving the Senate holding the bag. Democrats are arguing whether it is better to operate the government – because they support federal workers. They are afraid that a government shutdown may invite more cuts by Dogi.

But even though it sounds like other government shutdown battles, it is a bit different. No one can expect to go by script when President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are involved. Some argue that his intervention with the December Bill was just an act. By Friday night, we will know whether this government is like the risk of shutdown – or not.
