According to BlockBeats, on December 20, according to market news, Musk said that the US government must either pass reasonable bills that actually serve the people, or shut down. It is reported that Republicans in the US House of Representatives are looking for ways to avoid a government shutdown, and their second appropriations proposal was rejected on Thursday night. There are still a few hours until the Friday deadline. House Speaker Johnson said earlier on Friday that Republicans have reached a Plan C to avoid a government shutdown and plan to vote soon. Senate Republicans called the failure of two proposals they witnessed in the House of Representatives to fund the government until Christmas a "chaotic farce" and a "fiasco." "I think everything is back to square one," said incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune (Republican) as he left the Capitol. (Jin Shi)
