The government will shut down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill. Republicans are pushing a MAGA continuing resolution (CR) that proposes extreme cuts, threatening Social Security, housing, food security, and veterans' benefits. This is not a “clean” CR; it’s a slush fund that increases Trump and Elon Musk's power over federal spending.
Democratic Senators must not support this CR. Instead, they should leverage their position to demand a bill that rejects extreme cuts and protects abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and immigrant communities.
