"The House plans to vote this week on a three-month stopgap funding bill as the clock ticks down and Donald Trump pressures Republicans to shut down the government without policy concessions they have no realistic chance of achieving.
Defying Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., struck a deal with the White House and top Democrats on Sunday that calls for keeping the government funded at current levels through Dec. 20 but strips out a provision demanded by the ex-president that would revise election law nationwide to require proof of citizenship to vote.
As the House adjourned for the week on Friday, Johnson declined to say whether Trump, whom he has regularly consulted during the funding fight, would be OK with moving a package without the citizenship voting component, known as the SAVE Act. Trump and Johnson met for three hours at Mar-a-Lago last week right after a second apparent assassination attempt on Trump, and they met again in Washington on Thursday."

Why do they care what Trump thinks? He's not President. He's not in office anywhere. Stop giving him so much power when he deserves none of it.

Because no on wants a replay?
DJT seems to have given orders to Congress throughout Biden's administration. I'm not suggesting that and the other antics were power. It was corruption that extorted the American people, imho. Power and corruption are not synonymous, even though some would probably argue they are.
