Beekeepers Naturals products are also available at Target, Whole Foods, Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens. The possibility of a government shutdown looming large over lawmakers in Washington. The deadline, 1159 p.m. this Friday evening. Republicans looking to kick the can down the road to September, buying time to negotiate what they hope will be generational entitlement reform. The kind last seen in the 1990s under House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton. Ultimately, House Republicans are attempting to cut $880 billion out of the budget. Realistically, cuts that large would require reductions to Medicaid funding. Some Republicans, like Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, point out the program has grown well beyond what was intended.

Taxpayers now foot the bill for some 15 million able-bodied adults without children or a job. Republicans are looking to push this fight to September, where it will be handled through a process known as reconciliation that can be passed without Democrat support. This week, the mission is passing ACR, continuing resolution. House Speaker Mike Johnson will likely bring the bill to the floor tomorrow. The bill is 99 pages small in terms of government funding. It calls for increasing defense spending by about $6 billion. with cuts in non-defense spending of approximately $13 billion. It also contains an increase in ICE funding and maintains a freeze on $20 billion in special IRS funding. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid all remain the same for now. Many of the cuts will come from canceling earmarks, funds set aside by lawmakers for specific projects. One example, cutting $17.5 million in funding for improvements to a Kansas museum honoring former Republican President Dwight Eisenhower.

On Saturday afternoon, President Trump posting on Truth Social, quote, "'All Republicans should vote, please. Yes, next week. Great things are coming for America, and I am asking you all to give us a few months to get us through to September so we can continue to put the country's financial house in order.'"

How are Democrats and Republicans reacting to the funding bill?

Megyn Kelly 4:14
The president going on to say Democrats will do anything to shut down the government and Republicans must remain united. Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massey has already indicated he will vote against the bill, and that means Republicans can only afford to lose one vote in order to pass the CR.
