The so-called DOGE brothers of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy appear to have scored the first victory in their war against wasteful government spending, and President-elect Donald Trump hasn’t even taken office yet.
Congressional leaders had struck a “bipartisan” deal to fund the government until March 14 through what’s called a continuing resolution, but quite a few add-ons were included, making what should only have been a few-page bill roughly 1,500 pages long.
First, it’s a good rule of thumb that when “bipartisan” is used to describe a piece of legislation, that means Republicans have rolled over and Democrats are getting most, if not all, of what they want.
A true Republican lawmaker — not one in name only — is always looking for ways to cut spending and decrease the size and power of the federal government.
This CR did the opposite.

The bill would have also broadened the definition of “United States person” to include “any person in the United States,” i.e. not just citizens or lawful resident aliens.
Finally, the legislation would have replaced “homeless individuals” with “individuals experiencing homelessness.”

I want the names of the GOP politicians or the GOP staffers that participating in writing the CR they were planning to sneak through without the knowledge of the voters.
I have a question about “Our Mike Johnson, “Speaker of the House.” Why in the hell did he even allow that abomination which is the first bill of 1600 pages even be allowed for a vote. The second was bad but not as bad as the first. The third just passed. You and I the public do not know what is in the third but it is now fiscal law. Perhaps it is time for Mike Johnson to go away.
Rinos? Or maybe we should call it what it is the republican party.
Finally, the legislation would have replaced “homeless individuals” with “individuals experiencing homelessness.” That’s really important to me boys and girls, that nomenclature.
Well, that bill is dead and thank God!
But what about this new, 3rd bill that just passed? What’s in it?
Chuck U Schumer can still kill it, so....
They have to be primaried. Period.
The districts are drawn at this point it’s hard to flip.
So find a better Republican. Get on board with the people or get out.
They are representatives, not our overlords.
Chuck U Schumer can still kill it, so....

And if he doesn’t, you know for a fact it was terrible for you and me.
Nancy Mace pointed out a spot in the first bill that would have replaced the term “criminal” with “justice involved individual” (something like that).

Back in the old days, things were much simpler: homeless individuals/individuals experiencing homelessness, were known simply as bums.
no he likes it.
that’s the problem
Because he is a useless piece of crap. Evil, fake, “christian”.
Another in a long line of Dems pretending to be Republicans. Ryan, McCarthy, Boehner, et al.
Very good point.
p
Somebody needs to do a quick word search to see if that United States person bs is still in there.
The purpose of that is to stymie deportations.
YES!
Rinopublcans!
Yeah i heard that on the radio as well. Unlike many she actually read the bill.
