    So it’s a bit of a catch22 situation… Shutdown the government by blocking the new CR or have the government demolished by accepting the new CR …

    But the government will get derailed regardless.

    The one thing that seems to be overlooked is that the Democrats are supposed to give opposition/resistance to the Republican plans, which does mean blocking a bad new proposal …

    If it were up to me I’d use whatever media I can find and prior to the vote just loudly announce being against the new regulations, so just pre-empt republican fingerpoiting and take the sting out of their shutdown accusations…

      I would rather shut down the government than allow the changes to who controls the money.

      If Democrats vote yes on this then the spending power of congress gets handed to Trump/Musk.

      If this passes then congress no longer has control of tax dollars
