  • House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is threatening that Democrats could leverage the government funding deadline of March 14 to stop Trump's Office of Management and Budget order that blocks funding from being released for key government programs.

The article from MSN discusses how Democrats are contemplating a government shutdown as a strategy to counteract the influence of former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It highlights the internal debates within the Democratic Party about using drastic measures to prevent what they perceive as potential threats to democracy and economic stability posed by Trump's political activities and Musk's business decisions, particularly with Twitter (now known as X Corp). The piece mentions concerns over Trump's possible 2024 presidential run and Musk's control over significant communication platforms, suggesting that a shutdown could be used as leverage to negotiate terms or policies that would limit their impact. However, the article also notes the potential backlash and political risk involved in such a move, including public discontent and economic repercussions.
