Happy Friday! All I want for Christmas is for Congress to figure out a funding plan so everyone can relax. Is that too much to ask!? Here’s the latest:
- House Republicans are meeting right now to discuss the latest plan.
- That plan: Split the spending proposal into 3 standalone votes.
- Senate Republicans are calling this funding saga a “s--- show.”
- Democrats pledge to work through Christmas to rebuff Trump’s demands.
- Democrats are trying to irk Trump with “President Elon Musk” comments.

⏱️ Shutdown Watch
Have yourself a merry little funding fight:

Lawmakers have less than 12 hours to come to an agreement to avert a government shutdown.
What’s happening now?: House Republicans are meeting right now (12:30 p.m.) to discuss the new plan.
The latest plan, per Emily Brooks and Mychael Schnell’s reporting: Republicans will break up elements of the government funding plan into separate, stand-alone votes. The a la carte votes would include:
- A vote to fund the government at its current levels
- A vote on disaster aid
- A vote to give economic assistance to farmers
What’s notably missing from this plan: It would not include a vote to increase the debt ceiling, a source told The Hill. (Trump wanted that to be included, btw.) This plan also wouldn’t include most of the proposals that were added onto the negotiated bipartisan plan from earlier this week.
