Republicans in Congress will try to pass a stopgap spending bill this week to avert a partial government shutdown and keep the government running through September, though they’ll need Democrats’ help to do it.
The 99-page stopgap spending bill, which House Republicans released over the weekend, is required since lawmakers haven’t made any progress conferencing the dozen annual government funding bills that were supposed to become law by Oct. 1.
The continuing resolution, the third since October, would fund the federal government for the rest of fiscal year 2025 — marking the first time since fiscal 2013 that Congress has leaned on stopgap spending bills for the entire year, according to a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.
No, we need democrats that move to the center but avoid the billionaires. Which is basically impossible.
Correct – to the left of where they are now.
Seriously: the Democrats are indeed liberal, which is a right-wing economic philosophy, and that’s a big part of the problem. The whole debate over “woke” (social “liberalism”) is nothing but a fucking distraction; the real reason the Democrats are losing is that they refuse to address wealth inequality.
Liberals are such a boogieman for lemmy Ill never get it. They should be your partner in this but all i see from “leftists” is attempts to sow division
