After the immense backlash from the American people of that bloated 1,500-page continuing resolution that Speaker Mike Johnson was anxious to push through before Christmas break, the House has abandoned it and come up with a new continuing resolution that's only 116 pages. As we reported, Vivek Ramaswamy went through the entire bill and declared it could all be covered in 20 pages, so this is a good start.
🚨 BREAKING: The length of the new version of the CR is more than 90% shorter than the previous version!

The new CR is 116 pages. We forced them to eliminate over 1,300 pages of pork. Incredible pic.twitter.com/MmYVIlfngp

The latest CR is only 116 pages.

The previous one was over 1,500 pages.
President Trump got all that pork removed and he isn't even the president yet. pic.twitter.com/lrjk5yFhxn
This is reportedly what survived the cut:
NEWS: House GOP has agreed on a plan B CR with the following, multiple sources tell me:
— Liz Elkind (@liz_elkind) December 19, 2024
- Clean 3-mo CR
- Clean farm bill pkg
- Disaster aid - $110B
- Clean health extenders w/o PBM reform
- Paygo scorecard wiped to zero
- 2-yr suspension of debt limit to Jan 2027
- No E15
So they were able to fit in disaster aid and aid to farmers and keep the government open. We don't see their pay raise in there.

Imagine the treason that was in the other 1431 pages

We got a glimpse of it, and that's why we revolted.
Look how easy that was

Should be shorter
— jaeger71 (@jaeger71) December 19, 2024
Agreed, but this is still a massive improvement.
Amazing how we were able to do this. Would have been impossible just a couple of months ago. Just like that, a reasonable bill is put together and the world didn’t explode.

I would prefer 16 pages, but definitely moving in the right direction here.

We'll report more on this later, but for now, we consider it a major victory.
