   Democrats can choose between voting for the bad CR and fixing things later, or shutting down the government, risking having it never re-open — what Musk wants. Repudiate the bill, demand changes, but don’t fall for the trap and also be blamed for it.

     @JoeGrowling that has nothing to do with it. If the government is shut down, it will not reopen; and that's Musk's goal.

     @davetroy FFS....so Spineless.

     Fund the government so they can dismantle it with legal cover. They will destroy every part of the government, but Democrats won't get 'the blame' ....

     All of those who's lives will be destroyed will feel much better knowing the democrats are blameless.
