there was a 1,500 page omnibus masquerading as a continuing resolution. elon and vivek were pointing out how insane it was, they got everyone on twitter to call their representatives, and so it got withdrawn. there was really awful stuff in there like raises for congress and immunity from prosecution over the j6 committee crimes. now there's a 116 page cr that is pretty much clean. none of the bad stuff. trump was mad that the debt ceiling was going to be a problem for him early in his term, i think in the summer, and he wanted them to extend it. so trump told them not to pass the 1,500 page bill. the new 116 page cr pushes the debt ceiling fight all the way back until january 1st, 2027. the new bill will probably pass and get signed, so trump will have two years to get his agenda through before the next big fight over the debt ceiling, and when he's in office he'll be able to cut a lot of spending so the next cr (or maybe an actual budget? lol probably not) will be a lot easier to pass as well.
