Twelve Days of #ContinuingResolution.

Senate rejects competing bills to fund government, increasing risk of shutdown on Oct. 1.

Is @AssociatedPress #AssociatedPress lying when it says [lying] "Senate #Democratic Leader #ChuckSchumer of #NewYork… has repeatedly threatened a #shutdown if health care isn’t addressed?"

Last time, it was ChuckSchumer who caved and gave in to #Republican bullying on #governmentFunding.

Find out in 12 days whether he is as impotent as ever.

Today is a good day to spot unserious people.

Yesterday, demanding that #Democrats filibuster the #Republican #ContinuingResolution could be motivated by one of two opposite reasons: 1) pressure the party to unite behind a single tactic; 2) amplify division over the tactics.

Now that the filibuster didn't happen, ripping into Democrats who refused to do it can only be motivated by reason #2. These are not serious people.

Serious people are moving on to the next opportunity to unite us.

I know a #GovernmentShutdown will hurt a lot of people, including me. But this #Fascist junta cannot continue to illegally dismantle agencies & programs we've fought for decades to build.

Please make the call, even if it feels futile

There’s not a business owner on the planet that would dismantle the accounts receivable department when money is still owed to them.

Yet that’s exactly what Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are doing. The continuing resolution to keep the government running is drafted in such a way that it sneakily cuts the last $20 billion in long-term IRS enforcement funding earmarked for auditing ultra-wealthy tax cheats.

Reprehensible: The real reason Co-President Musk scuttled the first version of the #ContinuingResolution Bill

“In the end, Congress passed a bill much like the one Musk scuttled, but one of the provisions that Congress stripped out of the old bill was extraordinarily important to #Musk.

As David Dayen explained in The Prospect, the original agreement had an “outbound investment” provision that restricted the ability of Americans to invest in #Technology factories in #China”

FOUR STORIES ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING highlighting the difference between #Democrats & #Republicans, and what a disaster the next 2/4 years will be:

1) Pres. Biden forgives another $4.3B in #StudentLoan debt (so NOT an Election ploy.)

2) #BirdFlu in infected #RawMilk kills 2 house cats (another species jump.)

3) Louisiana prohibits Drs/nurses from promoting vaccines for Flu/spox/#Covid.

4) Dems save Repubs from themselves by voting on #ContinuingResolution to avoid gov't #shutdown over Xmas.

Lame Duck President-Elect Trump and Co-President Musk have started the shitshow already and their not even in office yet 🤬

The original bipartisan bill would have extended telemedicine services for Medicare patients. As it stands now, that’s out the window

#Musk scared the legislators into nixing the bipartisan bill and even if they do get a #ContinuingResolution passed, there is a good chance #Telemedicine won’t be included

The GOP majority tried and failed to fast-track a measure that would keep the government funded and also raise the debt ceiling, a demand issued at the 11th hour by #Trump

“…the #Defense Dept begins the 14th fiscal yr…w/o an appropriated budget. The dire consequences of yet another yr beginning w/a #ContinuingResolution funding the #Pentagon were communicated to #Congress by #DefSec #LloydAustin this month. This is just the most recent demonstration of the yawning gap between the political rhetoric in Washington about sustaining American military strength & the stark realities on the ground.”

Congressional leaders have come to an agreement on a two-tranche short-term funding bill to keep the government funded into March.

The new continuing resolution will fund the government through March 1 and March 8. The agreement comes just before the first funding deadline of January 19. The second government funding deadline was February 2.

House Republicans will have a conference call Sunday night to discuss the continuing resolution, a source told CNN.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Mike Johnson announced last weekend that they had reached an agreement on topline spending numbers, the first step in the process to fund the federal government.

Those numbers include $1.59 trillion for fiscal year 2024, with $886 billion for defense spending and $704 billion in non-defense spending.
Schumer and Johnson also agreed to a $69 billion side deal in adjustments that will go toward non-defense domestic spending.

"...laddering was a bad-faith attempt to trick supposedly desperate and meek Democrats into giving up all leverage and a generally solid position once the stop-gap CR expires in mere weeks. Instead, we got a near unassailable negotiating position for next round of budgeting in January and February, the very opposite of what Speaker Johnson and the House GOP thought they were getting and the whole point of their Machiavellian...scheme."
