Trump, Musk sink spending bill, teeing up shutdown

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. -musk-sink-spending-bill-teeing-up-shutdown.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Thursday, December 19th 2024 at 13:40 GMT by THE WEEK}

House Republicans abandoned a stopgap spending package Wednesday evening after President-elect Donald Trump told them to kill the bipartisan legislation and replace it with a more pared-down package that cut out Democratic priorities and also raised the debt ceiling.

The article from The Week discusses the recent $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill passed by Congress, highlighting the involvement and reactions of key figures like former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Trump criticized the bill, particularly focusing on what he perceives as wasteful spending, including funds for what he mockingly called the "Department of Woke." He specifically mentioned the allocation of $3.6 million for a "disinformation" tracking program at the University of Pittsburgh, which he and others have labeled as a "Ministry of Truth." Elon Musk also weighed in, tweeting his disapproval of the bill's funding for such programs, suggesting they could be used to censor free speech. The bill, however, also includes significant allocations for defense, health, and other sectors, with some bipartisan support despite the criticisms from Trump, Musk, and others on social media. The article captures the broader debate over government spending, freedom of speech, and the direction of federal funding.
