Someone on Substack commented that even that short text has the bioweapons labs funding in it. I didn't see them, but didn't know what to look for exactly.

So why the DOGE tsar was demanding the debt ceiling to be raised? Isn't it counter to his own stated agenda?

Because as the "Fiscal Conservatives" in Congress know, and I've been trying to explain, that deportations, walls, and especially tax cuts are all "Spending" according to Congressional Rules.

Therefore if the "Fiscal Conservatives" who lifted the debt ceiling for Biden and McCarthy in 2023 decided to reimpose it, in a very convenient attack of Muh Principuls, for Trump, it means his agenda doesn't get done. Or as Bonehead and Ryan did repeatedly for Obama.

And that's why they'll have an attack of the Principles they didn't have in June 2023. To stop funding deportations, walls, and middle class taxcuts. They'll also grossly undercount tariff revenue while overstating the impact of not taxing working harder than normal under O/T, or eliminating the double taxation on Social Security.

Debt ceiling is more or less irrelevant in flaming bankruptcy. It's a call for intervening credit and money printing to keep the corporate zombie lurching forward under pretense of being extant. May as well just increase the debt ceiling for logistics.

Trump will likely formally declare the bankruptcy, with the return activation of the Republic. The Republic (not active since the Euro Corp takeover around 1871) isn't responsible for the debts of the British and Vatican corporations, which are finally dissolved anyway since October.

The formal bankruptcy might come pretty soon, since so far, Congress voted a three month continuation of the corporate zombies as if they were still real so they could perform as many last minute plundering and atrocities as they can. It seems the extension will end as of January of 2025.

Trump wins with a relatively clean bill, third time the charm.

President Trump just got a huge win in Congress

After he blocked the Swamp Cramnibus, he got a clean one with no Democrat pork or pay raises

Most importantly, he secured massive disaster aid for farmers and states affected by the hurricanes

He cut the bill from 1500 pages to less than 150 and he eliminated J6 Committee immunity and blocked funding for the State Department censorship regime

Big win

Farmers didn't need aid. Had one of the best seasons in the midwest in 30 years.

"The Club for Growth" is really about H1Bs, no borders, tax breaks for hiring "assistance recipients" (which really means TPS and fakefugees as all of them qualify for state/fed assistance INSTANTLY with no means test)and probably tax breaks for importing things via Alibaba.
