Ana Paulina Luna: The "Current" Version of CR Is Being Withdrawn

Withdrawn? I only see her saying this. I keep searching to find confirmation, but I just have Luna's word for it.

Even if it is withdrawn, wait until you hear what Johnson and his Regime allies were scheming to do:

Because they saw that the bill was "bleeding" support, they considered bringing it to a quick vote -- one taken within an hour -- to see if the remaining Republicans could combine with all the Democrats to pass it:

I'd say Elon Musk's tweets helped a lot.

Also helping: Trump turned against it, bigly.

Great joint statement from Trump and Vance on the Cramnibus betrayal:

D Vance @JDVance

A statement from President Donald J. Trump and Vice President-Elect JD Vance:

The most foolish and inept thing ever done by Congressional Republicans was allowing our country to hit the debt ceiling in 2025. It was a mistake and is now something that must be addressed.

Meanwhile, Congress is considering a spending bill that would give sweetheart provisions for government censors and for Liz Cheney. The bill would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee--which accomplished nothing for the American people and hid security failures that happened that day. This bill would also give Congress a pay increase while many Americans are struggling this Christmas.

Increasing the debt ceiling is not great but we'd rather do it on Biden's watch. If Democrats won't cooperate on the debt ceiling now, what makes anyone think they would do it in June during our administration? Let's have this debate now. And we should pass a streamlined spending bill that doesn't give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want.

Republicans want to support our farmers, pay for disaster relief, and set our country up for success in 2025. The only way to do that is with a temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS combined with an increase in the debt ceiling. Anything else is a betrayal of our country.

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. It is Schumer and Biden who are holding up aid to our farmers and disaster relief.

THIS CHAOS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IF WE HAD A REAL PRESIDENT. WE WILL IN 32 DAYS!

Could make a case that this CR debacle is a good development. They tried business as usual right out of the gate and got obliterated.

OTOH:

Prediction:

In the final hours, the most egregious parts of the CR are withdrawn, but the final price tag will remain about the same.

Theory:

The outrageous portions of the CR are there are purpose so they can say they passed an improved bill, not the one you're mad about.

Luna was actually a "Yes" on the bill earlier, but I'll link her because she's smoking hot:
