No time like the present to call your Senators and ask them to vote No on cloture for the continuing resolution until the Musk/Trump administration stops their lawbreaking

    As much as shutting the government down will hurt, it’s preferable to letting lawlessness go unchecked. DOGE is planning on massive illegal cuts to social services. So putting off pain now will just lead to more pain later. Democrats need to hold the line and not vote for any continuing resolution without hefty strings attached reigning in the administration’s lawless behavior.

    For God’s sake, Trump is illegally deporting people and planning openly political prosecutions. I would prefer the government completely closed down to one run by literal Nazis.

      It’s not going to hurt any less than what they’re doing nowadays with the government “working”. Hell, might even be better. ICE will stop getting their paychecks, too.

      Of course, that all assumes that eel-on-musk didn’t get one of his wish.com wünderkinds to install a backdoor in the fucking treasury department a few weeks ago.
