The US government is on the brink of a shutdown as President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk blocked a short-term spending bill orchestrated by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson. The bill, which included $100 billion in aid for Americans affected by national disasters and economic aid for farmers, was met with opposition from Trump and Musk, who claimed it was full of "pork" spending. The move has plunged the capital into chaos, with Johnson's job in jeopardy and Democrats demoralized. The crisis highlights the challenges Trump may face in his second term, including finding a way to govern and pass his policy agenda, including tax cuts and immigration overhauls.

Trump and Musk are just as egomaniacal as the rest of them. Luckily Bitcoin and the laws of nature don't care so neither do I.
They may be doing some "good" things. They are not good.

Sadly, that's the best you can hope for from politics. Tick tock next block.
I agree. I am hopeful Trump may be our foolish hero.
wait ... who is the president today?
Elon Musk, obviously.
Is it that time of year again when we are supposed to get all worked up about this show? Time flies.
Oh how I wish what they say was true.
Feels like it’s always a crisis, but this time the stakes are higher.

Why won’t they just let supreme leader Musk just do what everyone wants
