This was unexpected.
In a rare moment of agreement, far-left Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is now siding with President Donald Trump on a major issue: ending the federal debt ceiling.
On Friday, Warren took to X to express rare agreement with President Trump, stating that the debt ceiling should be eliminated to avoid a potential economic disaster. She urged lawmakers from both parties to come together and pass legislation to do away with it for good.
But while she echoed Trump’s warnings about the dangers of repeated debt standoffs, Warren quickly returned to form—slamming Republicans for supporting what she called “$4 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.”
That jab targeted a new GOP tax package designed to extend Trump’s historic tax cuts—relief that many middle-class Americans still support. Warren’s comments reveal a growing divide between Democrats looking to expand government spending and conservatives pushing for lasting fiscal reform.
Trump Stands Firm: “It’s Catastrophic for Our Country”
Speaking earlier Friday, President Trump reminded reporters that Warren had once supported eliminating the debt ceiling—and that he agreed.
Trump remarked that she had pushed for the debt ceiling to be eliminated entirely, rather than revisited every five or ten years, because of the serious harm it poses to the nation.
The national debt ceiling has long been a political weapon used by both parties, but few Americans realize the risk it poses. If Congress doesn’t act, the U.S. could default on its obligations—shaking markets and harming retirees, veterans, and Social Security recipients.
The Debt Ceiling Crisis Is Back—And the Clock Is Ticking
Congress last suspended the debt limit in 2023 as part of a deal between Republicans and then-President Joe Biden. But that pause expired in January, and the debt ceiling is now set at over $36 trillion—a historic high.
In response, the Treasury Department began using “extraordinary measures” to avoid default. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently warned lawmakers that the government could run out of money by August if Congress doesn’t act.
In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Bessent warned that not raising or suspending the debt ceiling could severely disrupt the financial system and weaken both America’s national security and its standing on the global stage.
Conservatives Demand Fiscal Responsibility—Not More Spending
While Democrats push to eliminate the debt limit and expand spending, many Republicans are drawing a red line. They’re open to raising the ceiling—but only if it includes real reforms like extending Trump-era tax relief, cutting wasteful spending, and protecting Social Security.
The Republican base—especially Americans over 50—want to see Washington act responsibly. Endless borrowing, inflation, and skyrocketing debt aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet—they’re real threats to retirement, national security, and future generations.
Bottom Line
Elizabeth Warren may agree with President Trump on scrapping the debt limit—but her attacks on GOP tax reform show she still prioritizes big government over working Americans.
With another debt showdown looming, voters will be watching closely: Will Congress protect America’s future—or push the nation closer to fiscal disaster?

The only reason she would side with him on anything, is to cover her bu** on what she has been doing.
As long as these people keep getting back in congress this will be a problem. Ask self why she is for this? Remember she was so called brains of consumer protection agency President Trump shut down for all the money laundering that went through it? Wasn’t consumer’s protected it was democrats gravy train. Put 2 and 2 together it is because they will put back what President Trump undid. They don’t work for us, we work for them to destroy our country and citizens. There are several things they work hard for. Rigging elections, overthrowing other governments, kickbacks, lying, cheating, covering up corruption and attacking the republicans, bashing American people and conservatives. They choose criminals, illegals and foreign government’s over America and the American people. 2026 will be defining moment in history on if democrats can control America and communism in this country. If republicans have a back bone for protecting the hard working people or go back to protecting democrats and their pockets full of our money.
