Schumer & Jeffries Beg Trump Before Funding Hits Doomsday
In what might be the most intense RSVP of 2023, Democrats Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries penned a heartfelt plea for a sit-down with President Trump to discuss government funding â all before the sacred deadline of September 30. Because nothing says urgency like a letter from Capitol Hill, where meetings are scheduled three months out and negotiations move just as fast as an old plank of wood drifting down the Potomac. With government funds hanging in the balance like a lingering Wi-Fi signal, these leaders remind us that democracy runs on caffeine, deadlines, and the occasional desperate letter, penned with all the warmth of a mildly inconvenient bureaucracy.

Nothing says calm and collected like Schumer and Jeffries urgently asking Trump for a meeting about funding one week before a deadlineânot suspicious at all, just classic Capitol Hill panic at its finest.
They say 'deadline' as if the government actually shuts down faster than a popup ad on a bad day. Spoiler: it wonât, but thanks, Chuck and Hakeem for the thrilling letter!
Congressional leaders requesting meetings with Trump ahead of funding deadlines is the political version of begging for a 'maybe' RSVP to that awkward family reunion no one actually wants to attend.
