US government shutdown looms after House rejects Trump-backed spending deal
Friday, 20 December 2024 US politicians have rejected a spending bill endorsed by president-elect Donald Trump - leaving Congress with no clear plan to avert a fast-approaching government shutdown.
As a government shutdown approaches, tensions in Congress are rising, particularly among House Republicans. House Speaker Mike Johnson had to abandon a critical last-minute funding measure intended to prevent a shutdown. This decision came largely due to significant pushback from conservative members...
Epstein Files: A political firestorm has erupted in Washington as the House passed a resolution demanding the release of all DOJ documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Ralph Norman and backed by multiple Republican lawmakers, orders Attorney General Pam Bondi to make all credible files public within 30 days.
These include files related to Epstein’s detention, death, his ties to Ghislaine Maxwell, and internal DOJ communications. Though symbolic and non-binding, the move has fueled public pressure to unseal Epstein's elusive “client list.” Critics call the vote a partisan stunt, while others hail it as a breakthrough for accountability. Social media exploded with demands for transparency. The question now: Will Bondi comply? Or will the cover-up claims grow louder?

Historic TRUMP'S Victory: President Donald Trump celebrates his first major legislative victory of his second term as the U.S. Congress passes the “One Big Beautiful Bill” — a sweeping package of tax cuts and federal spending reforms. The bill’s passage marks a turning point for Trump's domestic agenda and highlights strong GOP unity, led by House Speaker Mike Johnson. Trump praised Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and Thune for delivering the win, calling it a “historic moment” and the “beauty of unified government.” The legislation sets the stage for more executive orders and deeper conservative reforms ahead.

A major political crisis is unfolding within the Republican party as former President Donald Trump lashes out at House Republicans for blocking what he calls his "big beautiful bill." The proposed legislation, designed to be the largest tax cut in modern history, has stalled due to significant infighting and a shocking lack of support from within Trump's own party. The bill's failure to move forward represents a major defiance against Trump's leadership and has sent shockwaves through the MAGA base.
The core of the crisis lies in the vote count. The House requires 217 votes to pass the legislation, but so far, only 181 Republicans have offered their support. The opposition is led by a small but determined group of four GOP Representatives—Keith Self, Victoria Spartz, Andrew Clyde, and Brian Fitzpatrick—who have publicly voted against the bill. Adding to the chaos, a staggering 35 Republicans did not cast a vote at all, leaving the bill's fate hanging in the balance ahead of a critical July 4 deadline set by Trump himself.
In a scathing rant on his Truth Social platform, Trump questioned the motives of his fellow Republicans, asking, "What are you trying to prove?" He framed the situation as a battle between "the largest tax cut vs. biggest tax hike," warning that this opposition is damaging the party's credibility and momentum. Trump stated that "MAGA is not happy" and cautioned that this defiance could lead to significant voter backlash in swing districts, with his supporters threatening to withdraw support from non-compliant lawmakers in upcoming primaries.
This internal conflict highlights a deeper debate within the GOP concerning federal spending levels, national deficits, and Trump's continued dominance over the party's direction. As the deadline looms, the standoff between Trump and the defiant House Republicans threatens to cause a permanent fracture in the party ahead of the crucial election season.

President Donald Trump’s massive $3.3 trillion tax and spending bill has hit a major roadblock in the House of Representatives. In a critical procedural vote held Wednesday, only 181 GOP lawmakers backed the bill, with four Republicans — Andrew Clyd, Victoria Sparta, Keith Self, and Brian Fitzpatrick — voting against it and 35 not voting.
With Trump demanding passage by July 4, the GOP now faces a race against time to secure the 217 votes needed. The defections have rattled Republican leadership, already under pressure from internal divisions over the bill’s spending cuts and debt ceiling provisions. Trump, who branded the bill “One Big Beautiful Bill,” now faces growing resistance within his own party. Will GOP unity crumble, or will backroom deals seal a victory before the deadline?

In a bombshell revelation, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard exposes what she calls a coordinated U.S. political coup. Gabbard claims Hillary Clinton’s alleged mental health issues were known to foreign powers and buried by U.S. officials, while accusing the Obama administration of fabricating intelligence to derail Donald Trump’s presidency. Calling it a betrayal of the American people, Gabbard demands accountability for what she describes as a treasonous conspiracy spanning the highest levels of power.
