“Though I supported the 45-day Continuing Resolution to buy more time and keep the government open, I am extremely disappointed that the Republican Resolution omits critical funding for Ukraine’s war effort,” says the ranking member of the House foreign affairs committee, Gregory Meeks, in a statement.
Senate on a vote of 88 to 9 approves a continuing resolution to temporarily fund the US government. “The American people can breathe a sigh of relief. There will be no government shutdown,” says Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“Pushing the snooze button solves nothing, because these same losers will try to pull the same shit in 45 days.” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) in a statement.
they didn't simply "hit the snooze button" republicans defunded any additional military support for ukraine, sending a message to the only person in the world they believe can save them from electoral disaster in 2024. republicans are racist traitorous cunts.
I love that we have reached a time where a sitting US Senator uses the term “same shit” in an official statement where he also calls other senators “losers”. #USPol (To be clear, being earnest here, not sarcastic… I love it and think it is great.)

Screen grab of article that reads:
WASHINGTON, DC -- Pennsylvania U.S. Senator John Fetterman on Saturday released the following statement on the 45 day Continuing Resolution that
passed the Senate:
"I voted at 8:30pm on a Saturday night, that's my job. But the American people should never have to worry about their government shutting down.
"Pushing the snooze button solves nothing, because these same losers will try to pull the same shit in 45
days.
"I voted yes tonight to keep the government open, but I'm done normalizing this dysfunction."
"This is not entertainment, it's governance. We must not allow the Freedom Caucus to turn our government into The Steve Wilkos Show."
@w7voa ain’t enough to pin my hopes to (or revive my hopes in the first place), but this guy’s candor is at least a minor consolation. it’s refreshing to finally see a dem who regards these clown-shoed shitbags for what they are
@w7voa Biden could end the war in Ukraine immediately by transfering to Ukraine a hanful of ICBMs that are due to be taken out of service anyway, and save American taxpayers costly decommissioning expenses. Nuclear non-proliferation is the costliest diplomatic mistake in history and treaties promising it should be exited. Tyrants dont follow it anyway so it only assures tyrannies with nukes outnumbering democracies. What can Putin do? Give North Korea nukes? Too late.
@w7voa I'd have liked to see a poison pill that immediately reduced the budget of the Speaker's office by 30-50% if he fails to bring to the floor a Ukraine funding bill sent by the Senate within 15 days. Secondary provision, after 5 more days the Speaker's assigned office space would be changed to the nastiest smallest hole of a Freshman Representative office they could find, ideally one sharing a wall with a public restroom.
Something like that might even get support from the bombthrower caucus
