Donald Trump’s administration remains mired in chaos after Elon Musk issued a new ultimatum on Monday night giving federal workers one more chance to reply to his email threatening their jobs after multiple agency heads told their staff to ignore him.
If Mike Johnson incorporates critical elements of Elon Musk's spending cuts into his budget deal, he could gain key support from hard-liners at his conference.
Johnson is facing stiff opposition from Democrats and some Republicans as he tries to deliver President Trump’s budget.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said stimulus checks tied to DOGE actions would make the Republican party look good, but added he preferred to pay off national debt.
President Donald Trump had said earlier this week his administration was weighing sending 20% of savings by DOGE to taxpayers.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday he “wholeheartedly” agrees with Vice President JD Vance that courts shouldn’t try to control the president’s power as Elon Musk's DOGE program slashes through the federal government.
