“Best case scenario” for passage at the moment is that it looks like the Repubs are getting ready to “screw” farmers. If the so-clean “end-of-year” omnibus necessary to keep the government open passes, the government stays open, but the two-year overdue Farm Bill is left out in the cold. This means March 2026 would be the next best hope for a Farm Bill.
Speaker Johnson had worked out a better deal, but Trump and Musk prefer nothing. They want to shut it down. And Repub lemmings are following Trump/Musk. Who’s president anyway? Trump? Musk?
