Republicans will need Democrats’ help to pass funding bill by 14 March as hard-right lawmakers push to cut costs

Summary

With a government shutdown looming, Democrats are debating whether to use it as leverage against Trump’s sweeping federal cuts.

Some argue withholding support for a funding bill could challenge Trump’s radical restructuring, including mass firings and agency shutdowns.

The GOP-controlled Congress must secure Democratic votes to pass a funding bill, but hard-right demands complicate negotiations.

Concerns grow that Trump may exploit a shutdown to sideline federal agencies, raising fears that this could be the most disruptive shutdown yet.

    How about you Nazi fucks kiss my ass and find your own votes? The only thing a Democrat should say on the floor of Congress for the next two years is fucking “No”.

    Either the GOP can figure out a way to go around us, or they can find a different way to blow Hitler’s ghost. And then we’ll find another way to fuck with that plan.
