Republicans in Congress will try to pass a stopgap spending bill this week to avert a partial government shutdown and keep the government running through September, though they’ll need Democrats’ help to do it.

The 99-page stopgap spending bill, which House Republicans released over the weekend, is required since lawmakers haven’t made any progress conferencing the dozen annual government funding bills that were supposed to become law by Oct. 1.

The continuing resolution, the third since October, would fund the federal government for the rest of fiscal year 2025 — marking the first time since fiscal 2013 that Congress has leaned on stopgap spending bills for the entire year, according to a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.

    The censure on Green was a total shit maneuver. Those dems should lose their seats. MTG sat in a weird fur coat screaming at Biden and they didn’t bat an eye.

    Democrats need to go pure anticapitalist, but they won’t because of money … Super PACs.
    At this point there is no way to get the billionaires out of government besides an uprising of some form.
