After Congress averted a government shutdown with a last-minute deal, it’s become a serious question: who runs the GOP, Donald Trump or Elon Musk? While Trump is about to be sworn in for his second term,
Representative Pramila Jayapal said that Democrats "forced" Trump and Musk "to back down from the 11th hour demand to pass a suspension of the debt ceiling."
"Everybody wants to be my friend!" Trump exclaimed on Truth Social the morning after the dinner The post Elon Musk Crashing Trump’s Jeff Bezos Dinner at Mar-a-Lago Mocked as ‘Deranged’ appeared first on TheWrap.
President-elect Donald Trump, after rejecting House Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to avoid a government shutdown, worked the phones on Thursday, showing wavering confidence in Johnson and claiming he is aligned with billionaire Elon Musk, who first posted multiple calls to kill the GOP-brokered spending deal.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s threats meant nothing to the 38 Republicans who voted against their spending bill. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains why this is “very good news” for America.
Democrats have started calling Elon Musk the "co-president" or "shadow president" to Trump. His team is making clear that's not true.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden signed a bill into law Saturday that averts a government shutdown, bringing a final close to days of upheaval after Congress approved a temporary funding plan just past the deadline and refused President-elect Donald Trump’s core debt demands in the package.
Johnson tried to placate Trump by bringing up a slimmed-down, 116-page version of the bill on Thursday. It included disaster relief, farm aid and the debt ceiling. Trump immediately backed it, calling it a "SUCCESS" and "a very good deal."
