This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

They had Trump and GOP playing defense. Republicans were being blamed for shutdown. Dems soundly trounced the GOP on election night. All the momentum was on their side but they gave up their leverage. And even as Trump was getting loudly serenaded by boos at an NFL game, Dems folded.
"In losing, Dems have said: we will relinquish future opportunities to use deadlines to bend Trump to our will. That is a posture of weakness that voters will pick up on."
On the pod, @brianbeutler.bsky.social has good ideas for Ds to salvage something from shutdown:

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.
