Republicans are pushing for the swift passage of a Continuing Resolution (CR) to ensure the government remains funded and avoid a potential shutdown. Party leaders emphasize that passing the CR is crucial to maintaining stability while providing an opportunity to secure vital conservative priorities, such as preventing unnecessary spending and holding the line against liberal overreach. With fiscal responsibility at the forefront, GOP members rally behind the CR to ensure the nation's focus stays on essential issues, protect taxpayers from potential disruptions, and advance President Donald Trump's agenda.
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) stressed that the CR must be passed so that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can continue exposing waste, fraud, and abuse within the government.
Voting for the CR will begin on Tuesday. The legislation must pass by Friday's midnight deadline of March 14 to avoid a partial government shutdown.

I completely disagree. With fiscal responsibility now being popular among the masses, NOW is the time to actually make a budget.
“the CR must be passed so that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can continue”
Sounds like a false dilemma. Why does DOGE continuing to identify waste depend upon a 24th “continuing resolution”?
It’s not. It’s crap talk.
This is WAR.
Trump is Commander-in-Chief.
If he wants the CR passed, then just pass it.
In Trump I trust.
He’s the one taking the fire, and has the wound to prove it.
If the government “runs out of money”, the essential services are still continued.
Who decide what is “an essential service”?
President Trump.
I don’t think DOGE needs a CR. It will just keep doing what it’s doing.
The majority of Americans are happy with DOGE. Why can’t the Democrats realize that and do what the PEOPLE want, not what THEY want?
Because their own corruption is being exposed.
Because they are getting scared that their corruption is being displayed for all the world to see..............and then come the indictments...............
Yo money, we washee....Who Musk to say “no more?”
Can't happen soon enough.
“With fiscal responsibility at the forefront, GOP members rally behind the CR to ensure the nation’s focus stays on essential issues...
I completely disagree. With fiscal responsibility now being popular among the masses, NOW is the time to actually make a budget.”
i agree... budget it out and stop the CR bull dookie
Because they use the Federal treasury to launder money.
.
That would accomplish the size reduction DOGE wants!
Democrats can’t do crap. We have the house and senate. Heck we have two extra votes in the house and three in the senate. The democrats are stuck! We win!
Unfortunately, too many RINO’s, like Mike Johnson, will cave, as always.
You need 60 votes in the senate to pass a budget. Good luck. Right now, CR is the way to go.
Not what I read.
i am not opposed to a shutdown...
start with the staff of the representatives and their salaries.
