Democrats confront limits of their minority power after bruising shutdown vote
“It’s like two horrible things, and you can’t imagine either one.” – Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo.
Senate approves funding bill hours before shutdown deadline, sending to Trump for signature
Colorado Democratic senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper both voted against the measure.
Abstimmung im US-Senat: Haushalt gebilligt - Shutdown verhindert
Der Auszahlungsstopp ist abgewendet: Nach dem Repräsentantenhaus hat auch der Senat in den USA einen Übergangshaushalt gebilligt - dank der Unterstützung einiger Demokraten.

"Schumer argued that #Democrats would ultimately lose a #shutdown #fight."
So why bother to #fightBack at all?

#Pelosi has issued a statement against following #Schumer's lead.
Congress has the “false choice between a shutdown or a blank check,” Pelosi wrote. “Neither is a good option. But this false choice some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable."

Wird die Haushaltsblockade in den USA noch abgewendet?
In den USA droht wieder einmal ein sogenannter Shutdown. Die Demokraten hatten angekündigt, den Haushalt zu blockieren. Doch jetzt rudert Minderheitsführer Schumer zurück.
"New Quinniac poll:
If there's a #shutdown...
32% blame Dems
31% blame Republicans
22% blame Trump
That's a majority blaming Trump and/or the GOP. Hang tough, Dems.
Note that only 22% of independents would blame Dems for a shutdown. 34% of them would blame the GOP and 22% would blame Trump, a total of 56%. A shutdown is clearly likely to be worse for Republicans.
In short, the vast majority of those who would blame Dems are Republicans already."

US-Demokraten wollen Übergangshaushalt im Senat blockieren
Den US-Demokraten bietet sich eine seltene Gelegenheit, ein Vorhaben der Republikaner zu stoppen. Offenbar wollen sie diese nutzen und den Übergangshaushalt blockieren - trotz der Sorge, für einen Shutdown verantwortlich gemacht zu werden.
@wdlindsy@toad.social"Sources also tell WIRED that Musk has wanted a government shutdown—an aim that runs contrary to the White House’s stated desire to avoid one—in part because it would potentially make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers, essentially achieving a permanent shutdown."

#Republicans blame #Democrats in Senate for any Government Shutdown but the longest US shutdown in #history was in 2018.
Trump and Republicans refused to pass the budget in 2018, shutting down the US government for 35 days.

Budgetstreit: US-Repräsentantenhaus stimmt Überbrückungshaushalt zu
Zur Verhinderung eines Shutdowns haben die Republikaner im US-Repräsentantenhaus einen Überbrückungshaushalt bis September beschlossen. Im Senat wird allerdings auch die Zustimmung einiger Demokraten benötigt.
The move sent the measure to the #Senate, where #Democrats are facing a political dilemma over whether to support it & hand #Trump wide leeway to continue his assault on federal programs & workers, or oppose it & risk being blamed for a govt #shutdown.
The bill would keep spending levels largely flat, but would increase spending for the military by $6B. It would slightly decrease spending overall, it would not include funds for any projects. And it would force a cut of >$1B from DC’s budget.
#House #GOP Passes Bill to Avert a #Shutdown, Daring the #Senate to Accept It
Approval of the bill sent it to the Senate, where #Republicans need the cooperation of several Democrats to move it past a filibuster and to passage before a midnight deadline on Friday.

House Republicans unveil bill to avoid shutdown and they're daring Democrats to oppose it
The bill offers a defense spending boost, while trimming nondefense programs.
@Sakti@ravenation.clubALSO - you can email House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries directly right here 
Government funding runs out March 14th - the government will shut down unless the Democrats help the Republicans pass a funding bill
This is one of the few real opportunities we have to push back
No playing nice with fascists - let the Dems know you support a #shutdown - help them grow a spine and stop these people
