People REALLY need to stop thinking in terms of elections. The window to start reversing Trump is much shorter.
Agnostic in how that affects shutdown. But this should not be abt 2026.

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.

Trump could declare the recess we had previously heard about, then really go nuts with executive power.
That aside, Dems should not go along with CR passage.
tRUmp is intentionally tanking the economy. Once the US is deep in a depression he will enact emergency measures and go full dictator while blaming immigrants and the woke mind virus for the state of the country.
example: this marvelous CodePink woman advocating for Mahmoud Khalil asking Bennie Thompson to help as member of Homeland Security cmte. i was shocked frankly

They control the elections now.
This CR is a poison pill that literally contains anti-democratic stuff. Federal workers would prefer a shutdown. Trump has already said he's going to ignore it.
There’s no way Republicans are going to offer a clean CR so now they’re just trying to see who they can buy.
They should NOT give them ANYTHING at this point!!
This is why I have gotten so disgusted with the party I’ve been with for over 45 years.
their natural inclination is to fiddle with the margins and that's not going to be anywhere near enough
we need to start *now*, not next year
Kind of heartened by AOC specifically calling out the cloture BS because that's the kind of maneuver we've allowed elected Democrats to get away with for too long
