Democrats will NOT support the Republican House Spending Bill…

A Government shutdown IS on the horizon for next week if the lawmakers in Congress cannot pass a Spending Bill for Trump to sign….

The Republicans have only slim margins tro get what Trump wants….

Which is be allowed to keep chipping away and the number of Federal Employee ‘s and Federal Department’s and Agencies….

AND?

Punishing ANYONE that does NOT do whta HE WANTS…..

The House bill, as passed who allow Trump to get away with ignoring the power of Congress….

The US Senate needs Democrats to get a approval….

Will they bend to stop a Shut Down?

Or hold tight and throw the blame, they hope , on Republicans and Trump?

 

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and his leadership deputies said Friday they will not lend their support to the stopgap spending bill being proposed by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).

Why it matters: Democrats are holding out for language that will restrict President Trump and DOGE from being able to slash government programs already authorized and funded by Congress.

• House Democrats from across the party’s ideological spectrum have argued the onus of averting a government shutdown falls squarely on Republicans, who control Congress and the White House.
• Johnson will likely need Democratic votes to pass any government funding measure. Even if he manages to pass a GOP-only bill, Democrats can block it in the Senate.

What they’re saying: With a week until the March 14 government shutdown deadline, Jeffries, House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) and Democratic caucus chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) wrote that the continuing resolution Republicans are expected to put forth is “not acceptable.”

• “Republicans have decided to introduce a partisan continuing resolution that threatens to cut funding for healthcare, nutritional assistance and veterans benefits through the end of the current fiscal year,” they said.
• The Democratic leaders said they would “enthusiastically support a bill that protects Social Security, Medicare, veterans health and Medicaid,” but that “Medicaid is our redline.”

Between the lines: Democrats have been fighting for language that constricts DOGE’s ability to get around the funding guidelines passed by Congress.
