'Welcome back to the MAGA swamp' - House minority leader
From BBC: Alys Davies
Hakeem Jeffries, the highest ranking House Democrat, has been fiercely critical of Republicans who abruptly killed the bi-partisan spending bill on Thursday under Trump's direction.
"Republicans would rather cut taxes for billionaire donors than fund research for children with cancer. That is why our country is on the brink of a government shutdown that will crash the economy, hurt working class Americans and likely be the longest in history," he writes on X.
"Welcome back to the MAGA swamp."
Republicans replaced the original bi-partisan proposal with another version that got Trump's backing later on Thursday.
Jeffries told reporters "the Musk-Johnson proposal is not serious. It's laughable. Extreme MAGA Republicans are driving us to a government shutdown".
