So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.
The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.
And they get another vacation

WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just clarified on X that the rescission of the OMB memo was simply to get the federal court case to go away, not lifting the funding freeze on anything that goes against Trump's EOs

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country.
It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.

I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities.
Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice.
The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

For the past 18 months, the Anti-Defamation League has been calling out people who criticise Israel, accusing them of antisemitism. Yet they're willing to give Elon Musk the benefit of the doubt over his nazi salute. That's not 'a bit of grace'. that's a revealing double-standard

do you know how hysterical you sound claiming that a guy who endorsed germany's neo-nazi party, unbanned neo-nazis on his website, reposts neo-nazis daily, endorsed the great replacement, and whose family emigrated to south africa in support of apartheid, intentionally gave a nazi salute? absurd!

Donald Trump said that his Presidency would be used to help working people.
Instead, his first order of business was to pardon convicted felons who tried to overthrow democracy.
These are not the priorities of the American people.
