Yes, it *is* possible to enact a simple 1-page Continuing Resolution, instead of 1,500+ page omnibus pork-fest. Here it is.

The co-leaders of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have circled the wagons against a stopgap spending bill that has drawn the ire of conservatives in Congress.
"Unless @DOGE ends the careers of deceitful, pork-barrel politicians, the waste and corruption will never stop," Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk posted on X on Wednesday afternoon as Republican lawmakers mulled the best way forward for the CR to fund the government.
"Therefore, there is no choice but to do so. I wish there was another way, but there is not."
Former Republican presidential candidate and DOGE co-leader Vivek Ramaswamy has also been a vocal critic of the legislation and suggested in an X post on Wednesday that Republicans should put forward a simple 1-page resolution.
"Yes, it *is* possible to enact a simple 1-page Continuing Resolution, instead of 1,500+ page omnibus pork-fest," Ramaswamy wrote. "Here it is.:"
Ramaswamy continued, "This is what a clean CR looks like. I still don’t love it because it permits the historical spending excesses to continue, but at bare minimum, we shouldn’t be stacking even more waste on top."
Musk, who posted a video of Ramaswamy railing against the bill urging Americans to call their representatives to "stop the steal of your tax dollars," spent part of the afternoon re-posting comments from elected Republicans who voiced their opposition to the bill.

𝕏 is the most powerful platform on the planet and is forcing the government to answer to the people.
BTTT
I hope Elon has super-duper personal security.
“Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH. If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF. It is Schumer and Biden who are holding up aid to our farmers and disaster relief.”
- Donald J. Trump
It’s pathetic that Republican representatives have to be pressured into doing the right thing.
It’s also frustrating that the voters keep reelecting these wimps and backstabbers.
Unreal these bastards even attempted a business as usual stunt like this and the pressure it took to get them to unscrew themselves.
The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury.

And from what I understand they threw a friggn RAISE in for demrepselves those friggn Sbags!
Get on board RINOS or get out of the way.

Correct.

Some posts by Elon Musk...
Your elected representatives have heard you and now the terrible bill is dead. The voice of the people has triumphed!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Either there is massive change or America goes bankrupt, therefore there must be massive change!
(in reply to... If not for 𝕏, Congress would have gotten away with this ridiculous spending bill. Business as usual is OVER.)

“For any given government expenditure, we have to say, what does this do for the citizens of America? [...]
And if it’s not being spent in a way that is beneficial to the American people, it’s a misuse of the funds.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All I can do is bring things to the attention of the people, so they may voice their support if they so choose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The voice of the people was heard. This was a good day for America.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
America is for you, the beloved people

Wow, Elon and Vivek!
We’ve become a nation of Stepford Wives. Hypnotized zombies.
“Yes, it *is* possible to enact a simple 1-page Continuing Resolution, Ramaswamy wrote. “Here it is.”
I love it when the adults take charge!
“As to Elon Musk weighing in, telling lawmakers that all should be voted out in two years, a member of the House Republican leadership told Fox that Musk ‘is not helping. He has bigger fish to fry than picking a fight with House Republicans,’” Pergram wrote.
there is no reason a bill should be longer than one page
no reason
none
Wasn’t it Rand Paul who proposed laws should be one issue, one page, one vote?
The DOGE Bros give me great hope.😊
