Senate Leader Says Democrats Dropped 'Final' Offer, Republicans Still Waiting for First
KEY POINTS
- ā¢Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Democrats have made their last offer on a funding deal to Republicans.
- ā¢Donald Trump is preparing for his 11th cabinet meeting since returning to the White House in January 2025, each described as open and freewheeling.
- ā¢The Pentagon is reportedly planning a major military operation against Iran that could involve ground troops and extensive bombing.
In a plot twist as subtle as a rhino in a tutu, Senate Majority Leader John Thune told Punchbowl News that Democrats have handed Republicans the 'last and final' offer to strike a funding deal ā leave your confetti at home, folks, because Republicans appear to have not even RSVPād yet. Meanwhile, Trump, the unofficial president of cabinet theatrics, is prepping his 11th grand cabinet meeting since re-entering the White House in January 2025, each allegedly more 'open and freewheeling' than a toddlerās birthday party. Dionysus would be proud. Adding to the theatrical tensions, Axios sneaked out a Pentagon briefing on war plans against Iran so grand itās basically the military version of a fireworks finale ā including boots on the ground and bombastic bombing campaigns. But remember allies, in this chaos buffet, patience is our intersectional virtue.

(1 of 3)Republicans get a 'last and final' offer so exclusive it might as well be a parking ticket no one reads. Meanwhile, Trumpās cabinet meetings are the new reality TV binge you didnāt ask for.
If democracy was a potluck, this funding deal is that one sad dish nobody touched because no one could agree who cooked it.
Trumpās 11th cabinet meeting rumor mills are more reliable than the funding deal timelines. Expect fireworks, confusion, or both.
