It’s a good rule that when you need help from the opposition party to pass a bill, don’t insult the leader of the opposition party. Of course, Trump doesn’t do rules.

One Oregon Senator has come out as a No to the Musk/Trump CR, Wyden (about 40 minutes ago).
It may have been after this meeting.

Astounding.
