After it was known that Musk was salivating for the shutdown to cut more shit, I’m not really surprised. They’ve got 2 years to fight back. You don’t spend all your political capital before you’ve earned it
If I understand correctly this CR legalizes DOGE and everything it has and wants to do in the future. Shutting government down completely is preferable, IMO. The federal employee unions agree.
The federal employee unions agree.
Or "why democrats have decided to take the opposite position."
You think not shutting down is going to truly slow musk down? You think dems will accomplish anything meaningful in the next two years with Rs in control of all three branches? What fucking political capital? They fail at pretty much every turn. How are they going to earn capital by just failing?
A government shutdown would no doubt help the GOP dismantle the government faster.
How?
By shutting down the government
That doesn't answer my question, how does shutting down the Federal government that Trump controls speed him up?
It's the one thing the Dems in Congress can press on him. Republicans did it to Obama, why can't we have the representatives we voted for, myself included, represent the need to slow him down?
Just keep giving him money and rubber stamp his bills for the Neo-Enabling Act. That'll show him!
He is trying to shut it down by dismantling it.
Threatening to give him what he wants by defunding the government just gives him what he wants but places the blame on the Dems.
Then why did Trump not want the shut down? Why give him what he wants in the bill, and not what he is mad at?
What makes you think Trump doesn’t want the shutdown?
They’ve got 2 years to fight back
They had 4 years to "build a case" against trump. No more delays and no more excuses.

Democrats have no political capital, they're nothing but hollow platitudes and fake resistance.
Capital is built on credibility. Schumer just flip flopped very publicly from what people want him to do, to what they always knew he would do. Literally overnight.
