This <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/continuingresolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>continuingresolution</span></a> hands the keys over to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>musk</span></a> to ransack our <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>government</span></a> for the next 6 months. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TrumpRegime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpRegime</span></a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MuskNazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MuskNazi</span></a> are ignoring law while the government is open.

So much <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/damage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>damage</span></a> has been done in less than two months, in 6 months there may be little to save.</p><p>Ask your <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/senators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>senators</span></a> to let the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/governmentshutdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>governmentshutdown</span></a> if that's what <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>republicans</span></a> want. The <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/GOPfascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GOPfascists</span></a> Speaker Mike Johnson quickly rammed the CR through the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/houseofrepresentatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>houseofrepresentatives</span></a> by offering <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/gopcowards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gopcowards</span></a> representatives conflicting promises. He then forced the House to break and end their session of Congress, which limited the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/senate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>senate</span></a> to accept the CR or let the government shut down.

The <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/goptraitors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>goptraitors</span></a> has signaled for the last two months that they have no interest in protecting their co-equality as a branch of government. If <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/democratsawol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democratsawol</span></a> give up their last position of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/power" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>power</span></a>, Congress will be <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/beholden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beholden</span></a> to the Executive Branch. They will have <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/surrendered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>surrendered</span></a> their <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/constitutional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>constitutional</span></a> responsibility to act as a backstop to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/executiveoverreach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>executiveoverreach</span></a>.

So how does this not taint the waters? Especially when I see all this junk Louis is posting..
