CONGRESS: On Wednesday, Trump, incoming administration nominees, and House Republicans succeeded in getting the House to scrap a 1,547-page, year-end, pork-loaded spending bill. Among other things, it would have given massive pay raises for Congress members, allowed them to avoid Obamacare, shield corrupt Jan. 6 House committee members like Liz Cheney from congressional subpoenas, and extend the life of a censorship agency within the State Department.

Noting that the giveaways were bribes to get Schumer and Biden to approve aid to farmers and disaster relief, Trump said, “Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH. If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF.”
