"It gives Donald Trump six months to continue wrecking the government... We should do something short-term that allows Congress to set regular funding levels."
"Senators Padilla and Schiff indicate they will not aid Republicans in reaching the necessary votes to pass a continuing resolution."
California Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff, along with other Democrats, are set to vote against a temporary funding resolution that could lead to a government shutdown. They argue that supporting such a measure would empower President Trump and his advisor Elon Musk to further reduce federal government services. Both senators are advocating for a short-term solution that allows Congress to establish consistent funding levels. As the Senate considers this resolution, it requires bipartisan support to clear a 60-vote threshold, which the Democrats are reluctant to provide.
