«Democrats want Republicans to put some policy handcuffs on Musk, something Republicans are firmly rejecting. House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole called it “a non-starter and battle they lost to the American people” on Monday.»

You’re right, Mr. Cole. You do have two more votes than the Dems. So you should be able to pass a budget *without a single Democratic vote* then. Go ahead.

«Some senior House Democrats believe the impacts of the DOGE cuts have already created a shutdown of sorts»

Right, so an actual shutdown shouldn’t be that much of a change, right? Plus, people can experience what not having a government would feel like.

Count me as in support of a govt shutdown if the Republicans refuse to reign in Musk/DOGE.
