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.

It is not clear a CR doesn’t also need 60 votes.
Politically speaking, I’d say it’s too late to kill DOGE.
Whatever they try to do to it, DOGE and the spirit driving it will only come back stronger.
Sounds like now is a good time to identify the essential departments and fund them in a CR.
The rest are on their own.
So we have to vote for it to know what’s in it?
Let’s continue funding waste so we can expose it?
OKAY!
Agree
I agree. I’d like Elon to step up and say that he’ll fund DOGE in the interim until the funding is approved. Heads would explode on the left.
Yes indeed.
Of course the dems are trying to kill DOGE, they are on the receiving end of the money.
The Democrats want to stop DOGE by shutting down the Federal courts.
You can’t make up this stuff.
You know. Like it's spelled out in The Constitution.
