House unveils stopgap measure to keep the government funded, with days to avert shutdown

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!
  
  And they'd definitely hurt even more people than are already being harmed. Republicans can play brinkmanship games because they don't care about people at all. Democrats can't do the same without becoming Republicans in the process.

  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."
- Yes! Dems have any spine at all challenge (impossible).
  
  They're busy working on their "messaging" to let Americans know they hear you and care, while doing nothing but collecting donations and messaging.

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.

I thought they wanted to save money, just shut it all down.
- Seems fine to me. How do we make this the Democrats fault when Republicans control all branches of the government?
  
  They'll blame Dem's and RINO's and their idiot base will slober their cloven hooves in admiration.
  
  We dont, but we will be watching for scabs that vote for it anyway.

Shut it down for about 46 months.

Hold the line Dems! Obstruct obstruct obstruct!!!
