Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said Friday she’s ready to stay in Washington “through Christmas” to fight off President-elect Trump’s demand to strip negotiated provisions out of a bill to fund the government into 2025.
Murray, the most senior ranking Senate Democrat, slammed billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, one of Trump’s top advisers, for torching the 1,547-page bill that congressional leaders unveiled earlier in the week. A second, Trump-backed plan, failed on the House floor Thursday night 174-235.
“I’m ready to stay here through Christmas because we’re not going to let Elon Musk run the government. Put simply, we should not let an unelected billionaire rip away research for pediatric cancer so he can get a tax cut, or tear down policies that help America outcompete China because it could hurt his bottom line,” Murray said.

Evil never sleeps. Or takes holidays off, apparently.
Demoncraps have led the “war on Christmas” so for them it’s no big deal.
Nobody cares anymore if the government “shuts down”
It’s become a factor without a fear.
That is why the Republicans need to vote “no” on everything and shut the government down—stall them out until the new team is on the field.
Easy Peasy.
Do it. Make them work until Jan 3.
I'll bet that arrogant liberal elite bimbo Patty Murray didn't give a damn about who was running the government the last two years in the White House... Oh no, THAT'S not a problem for the bimbos and pretentious 'men' of the democrat party. They AND their butt boys in the MSM weren't even curious who was running the country... but Musk? OMG he says a few words and they're all outraged.
Nothing motivates quite like hate!
Now he knows how to play the game.

I agree.
SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN.
But America haters like Jarrett and Soros running the country was A-OK...eh Moron Murray?

That’s a good point. The only people who care are those who benefit from largesse and graft. They want to keep the gravy train running.
More and more people are seeing that the government has become an unmanageable and costly mess that needs to be reformed.
In actuality, dems plan to have their aides and flunkies work through Christmas...

The country would be better off with Murray back in Washington state, but then Washington state would suffer.
Outstanding post!
As expected, Christmas means nothing to these heathens.
Murray...”she’s ready to stay in Washington “through Christmas”...
For so many of the crooks in Congress, Christmas is every day. What will the lobbyists gift her with in the spirit of Christmas that she hasn’t already gotten?
AGREE.
Look at what’s happening. Trump hasn’t even been sworn in as President yet, AND he is already making a huge disruptive impact.
As President elect he can demand anything he wants and NOBODY in the current Congress has any “official” obligation to listen to him or Elon. Trump has no “official” power or authority, but yet he has the Democrats spinning in circles.
Democrats own this Sh!tshow until Jan 20, 2025
NOW, we need to make damn sure Democrats know they own this mess!!
