Trump and Musk Blow Up Speaker Johnson's 1,547-Page Spending Bill

There are some new sheriffs in town and they’re gunning for a shootout at the “Not-Ok” Coral.

Washington D.C.’s "politics as usual” appears to be coming to an end.

There are some new sheriffs in town and they’re gunning for a shootout at the “Not-Ok” Coral.

Donald Trump, fresh off an election mandate and a new haircut after a trip to the barbership, put out the MAGA signal and the DOGE posse did not disappoint.

The result? A CRomnibus crash. Speaker Mike Johnson's grip on the House Republican leadership is now in serious peril after his monstrous 1,547-page continuing resolution (CR) went down in flames.

Fox News’ Chad Pergram gives us the latest word from inside-the-beltway:

This comes after critics inside and outside Congress lambasted the CR as a legislative Christmas tree, loaded with ornaments of special interest spending.

Tucked away amid $100 billion in disaster relief, there was funding for rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge—a staggering $8 billion expense. More outrageous line items included more EV charging stations and the perpetuation of the Global Engagement Center, a federal censorship entity, as well as shielding the partisan J6 committee from investigation.

Rep. Kat Cammack captured the frustration of GOP hardliners with her colorful critique: “Conservative Republicans should start an OnlyFans account considering how often we get screwed… The CR is a bad deal.”

Meanwhile, Rep. Chip Roy of Texas echoed the sentiments of many conservatives: “SWAMP'S GONNA SWAMP! We’re just fundamentally un-serious about spending. As long as you’ve got a blank check, you can’t shrink government.”

Tech mogul Elon Musk led the charge against the bill by lobbing grenade after grenade on his social media platform X.
