Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he would back a Republican-led stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown, 24 hours after he said he wouldn't.

Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Chris LaCivita also hit back at Musk’s comments in an interview Friday with Politico’s Dasha Burns. “They’re not going to cut Social Security, they’re not going to cut Medicare, they’re just not. That’s just fearmongering,” he said.

Senate Democrats voted to avoid a shutdown but at the cost of throwing their House counterparts under the bus and enabling Trump's lawlessness.
