1. Did President Musk OK this one?

[senseandsensibility]

2. You're right

That's all that matters.

[Attilatheblond]

3. Gotta figure Pres Musk & the Oligarchs want the debt ceiling lifted so they can steal more than we can count

It's not gonna be fun seeing the GOP run up massive deficits again then pretend deficits are THE PROBLEM all during the 2028 campaign year.

11. He must have

It looks like "everything" has to go through Musk. Makes one wonder what Musk has on trump. It must be something really bad for trump to let him get away with taking command of things.

4. Typical

BULLSHIT
🤬
Now let’s see if it passes w/out Democrats help


✌🏻

5. If this passes (not vetoed) then it will open the door for another Trump tax cut and the Dems will be blamed

for raising the debt ceiling.

[Mike 03]

7. Oh, you're right. I don't want the debt ceiling lifted or abolished

on our watch, NO WAY!

Let that be on the Trump/Musk regime.

[Mike 03]

6. Thank god the disaster relief is still in it.

No rep from Arizona should be stupid enough not to fight for disaster aid--with our wildfires.

[onecaliberal]

8. Dems should vote NO.

No debt ceiling increase.

[Mike 03]

9. Per Michelangelo Signorile (SiriusXM)

He is reporting that the new bill is dead even just on the GOP side, and that there is a Dem caucus happening behind closed doors, but that chants of "Hell no!" can be heard from within the caucus room.

12. Wow

Well, assuming this is correct, good for them.

10. Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill. nt

[Liberal In Texas]

13. If they want a debt limit suspension, have a debt limit suspension. Not this sneaky 2 year one.

His Highness just wants it so his tax cuts for billionaires to sail through.

[maxsolomon]

14. They are aware that the Senate is still nominally controlled by Dems?

They're not going to get the debt limit extension. They afforded Dems no such courtesy these last 4 years. It's been pulling teeth.

Extend it to Jan 20th.

15. Jeffries response-The Musk-Johnson proposal is not serious. It's laughable
