Former President Donald Trump and his allies are urging House Republicans to support a bill that would prevent a partial government shutdown.
The GOP has struggled to pass funding measures without Democratic support since gaining the majority in 2022. Trump's influence could help unify Republicans ahead of a critical vote. House GOP leaders are making a final push to secure enough votes for the stopgap funding bill.
The outcome will determine whether the government remains operational beyond the looming deadline.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
Why should we keep funding a bloated, inefficient government that constantly oversteps its authority? A shutdown might actually be the best thing to happen—let people see how little they actually need D.C. meddling in their lives. Instead of playing political games, Republicans should focus on cutting spending and reducing government power, not just keeping it running.

Republicans need to stand strong and not cave to the same old reckless spending. Hopefully, Trump’s pressure keeps the party in line and forces real concessions instead of another wasteful deal.
Funny how the guy who tried to overthrow the government now suddenly cares about keeping it funded.
Trump once again proving he's the only one who can keep these weak Republicans in line and stop the Dems from running the show.
