Once again, Republicans control everything and can’t even pass a bill amongst themselves.

    Democrats need to not help. If the government gets shutdown, so be it. Republicans will ultimately be blamed. If Republicans want help, they need to get Elon out as a minimum condition and force congress to stand up to the oval office regarding impoundment.

      This is ABSURD! If the Democrats don’t HELP the Republicans they MIGHT lose the Republican Vote that they ALREADY don’t have!

      Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope.

      Nothing short of complete dissolvement of DOGE and a reversal of everything they’ve done so far should be accepted. And that needs to be done before Democrats offer a single vote to assist.

      Putting Elon’s removal as a condition would just lead to Republicans saying “Sorry, we asked Trump pretty please can you fire Elon and he said no. What else can we do? Too bad, so sad, but hey thanks for bailing us out again.”

        They’re busy working on their “messaging” to let Americans know they hear you and care, while doing nothing but collecting donations and messaging.

      Seems fine to me. How do we make this the Democrats fault when Republicans control all branches of the government?

        • A good list to start would be the ten Democrats who voted to punish Al Green. They are:

          Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Tom Suozzi of New York

    The 99-page continuing resolution, or CR, would increase defense spending

    Showing, fucking yet again, that they are not serious at all about decreasing gov’t spending.
