Trump and the Republican Party have been dangling the threat of Vought — an ultraconservative architect of Project 2025 — in attempt to force the Democrats to the negotiating table. Trump last week posted an AI video showing Vought as the Grim Reaper

VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: I don't know what tape you're referring to, George. I saw media reports that Tom Homan accepted a bribe. There's no evidence of that. And here's George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you're losing credibility: because you're talking for now, five minutes with the Vice President of United States about this story regarding Tom Homan, a story that I've read about, but I don't even know the video that you're talking about. Meanwhile, low income women can't get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer have shut down the government. Right now, we're trying to figure out how to pay our troops because Chuck Schumer has shut down the government. You are focused on a bogus story. You're insinuating criminal wrongdoing against a guy who has done nothing wrong instead of focusing on the fact that our country is struggling because our government is shut down. Let's talk about the real issues, George. I think the American people would benefit much more from that than from you going down some weird left-wing rabbit hole where the facts clearly show that Tom Homan didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: It's not a weird left-wing rabbit hole. I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000, as was heard on an audiotape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. And you did not answer the question. Thank you for your time this morning.

Johnson warns US 'barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns' in history

House Speaker Mike Johnson blames Democratic obstruction for the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 13th day since Oct. 1.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., delivered a stark warning during a Monday press conference on Day 13 of the government shutdown.

"We're barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history unless Democrats drop their partisan demands and pass a clean, no-strings-attached budget to reopen the government and pay our federal workers," the leader of the House of Representatives said.

The government entered into a shutdown nearly two weeks ago on Oct. 1 after Senate Democrats rejected the GOP's federal funding plan. They have since blocked consideration of the same bill six more times.

During his press conference, Johnson referenced former President Barack Obama telling a crowd over a decade ago, "There is one way out of this reckless and damaging Republican shutdown: Congress has to pass a budget that funds our government with no partisan strings attached."

"What I just read was a direct quote. Those are not my words. They belong to President Barack Obama. He was speaking there in 2013 when our government was shut down for 16 days," he said. "This would be the third-longest government shutdown in American history, that one would be."

He added, "If Democrats keep up their obstruction here today, that's where we're going to be headed."


Sounded good when Obama said it amirite?

Dems Quietly Pull Back on Medicaid for Illegal Immigrants | National Review

Taxpayers deserve better than symbolic compassion backed by shell games and ballooning deficits.
www.nationalreview.com www.nationalreview.com

"Over the past few months, Democratic governors in California, Minnesota, and Illinois have all arrived at the same conclusion: It’s not practical to offer taxpayer-funded health insurance to undocumented immigrants.

In addition to being wildly expensive, such open-ended largesse jeopardizes health care access for vulnerable U.S. citizens who need the safety net most — single mothers, pregnant women, the elderly, and the disabled.

Even the most vocal champions of undocumented immigration — including California Governor Gavin Newsom, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker — are acknowledging this reality. All three have either frozen or curtailed Medicaid coverage for these populations in recent months."

They need the bailout.
