  With a shutdown looming by the end of the week, Republicans face pressure from Trump and his ally Elon Musk to drop the funding bill they negotiated with Democrats.

The article from ABC News discusses how House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing forward with a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown, despite facing opposition from some conservative members of his party and criticism from Elon Musk. The bill, which extends funding for some government agencies until January 19 and others until February 2, aims to provide Congress with more time to finalize full-year appropriations. Johnson's strategy has drawn ire from the right wing of his party, with critics like Elon Musk and Rep. Chip Roy arguing that it continues the cycle of short-term funding without addressing long-term fiscal responsibility. Musk, in particular, has voiced his frustration on social media, calling out the lack of a permanent solution. Despite the backlash, Johnson remains committed to his plan, emphasizing the need to avoid a shutdown and to negotiate a more comprehensive budget later.
