Congress has the “false choice between a shutdown or a blank check,” Pelosi wrote. “Neither is a good option. But this false choice some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable."

"#Schumer sent… #Democrats into fits of rage… by announcing that he would vote to allow… #Republicans to pass the stopgap #CR.

"A shutdown would allow #DOGE to shift into overdrive. Let me repeat, a shutdown will allow DOGE to shift into overdrive. It would give Donald #Trump and DOGE the keys to the city, state and country," he said. "Donald Trump and Elon #Musk would be free to destroy vital government services at a much faster rate than they can right now and over a much broader field of destruction that they would render."

ABC News · With help from Democrats, Senate advances bill to avert government shutdownBy Mariam Khan

Everyone that rode the Coup Convoy needs to be put on a russian watch list.

Either:
1. They swallow russian disinformation so well they will attack their own country and fellow citizens, or
2. They are a russian agent/pro-russia/anti-Canada.

They cannot be trusted during this crisis. Any vehicle with a Quisling convoy sticker is a swastiKKKar to me.
