All Democrats need to vote NO
Don't just avoid a shutdown; write a bill that covers things all Repubs can agree on. Don't do a CR with Biden's priorities. Write a budget bill WITHOUT deficit spending. Don't scream "emergency" when you have a mandate!!! Don't let Biden continue to be a lame duck; let him go.
Democrats had better not help the Republicans in any way shape or form. Shut it down!!
Lies, lies and more lies!!!!
Shut down DOGE
50% of taxes collected is from individuals..cut the billionaires taxes is .reducing money collection…NOT A GOOD IDEA!
…
A person who believes these cuts is beneficial? Is not aware of the huge cost in the end…slow downs of pubic services, less enforcement of regulations, less healthcare, less safety, less of everything..
Hawaii has coffee trees with two major diseases, they just Cut 6 agriculture specialists who are trying to save Hawaii’s coffee trees – GONE…
The plan is to cause chaos and discord 😢.
They’ll pass it. They only need 7 democrats votes 😊
Are people buying this crap? It's an annual scam to pile on more debt, which we end up paying for. I guess $36 trillion in debt just isn't enough. Come on, CBS, aren't you embarrassed reporting this bull?!
I think Democrats should vote against this. Johnson's job is to build consensus and he's not even talking to the Democrats. He has enough people to pass it if he can unite his people. It's Johnson's job to make it work. The Democrats aren't required to roll over just because Johnson thinks he can blame them if he fails.
Trump survived his previous 35 days of govt shutdown, the same budget of tax the poor and reward the rich. This time, make it permanent
NO BILLIONAIRE TAX CUT. IF THEY DO THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WILL RIOT!!!
Shut it Down
If any Democrat comes forth and votes for that budget you know their own by the billionaires and you watch the ones who come forth will put out and within two or three weeks later a month later I'm resigned and I ain't going to run for reelection because they know why they sold their souls for the damn greedy rich
Do you know how quiet the media has been the billionaire own media they don't want to say anything about rich tax cuts and trillions on the debt they just stay real quiet and you notice if they can get two or three or four people to go to the other side oh it was a bipartisan Bill a bipartisan bill should be at least 45% of the other side and then you can call it by pardon billionaire on media it's not bipartisan it's your six little billionaire own puppet politicians coming to your side inside and not one damn Democrat butter even before this budget it's a republican slit throat cut the average American people out of just about everything let them they voted in their Rich tax cuts and had a trillions to our debt there is no reason they all can't come together to do their own little budget cuts
President Trump is Breaking the Law
Just weeks in, the Trump administration has violated rules, laws, and the Constitution.
Over and over, their actions violate the law — either the Constitution, or statutes, or both. Some moves may be designed to
dare the courts to sanction these power grabs. More likely, it seems increasingly clear, they don’t care. Trump needs to be IM PEACHED! Tax cuts are only for the rich people.
Courts need to IMPEACH Trump A.S.A.P.
This has been Nancy Pelosi budget for the past 3 years under the Republican party.
If the repubs can do it without Dems then I think this is all theater. If they actually need dem support than maybe there will be a shutdown.
SHUT IT DOWN. They're dismanting our government anyway.
20 years and no real budget. The US is a ponzi scheme right now.
Shut it down! Censure that!
Why is a shady businessman who was voted in by absolutely zero people making government decisions? Doesn't musk being there breach like 500 American laws? We already know his plans violate the constitution, but regardless, pretty sure business owners aren't supposed to be making laws. Kinda a huge security breach and conflict of interest
Honestly I wouldnt mind if this government shut down permanently.
Gee all these departments being cut, isn't that shutting the govt down?
Make Elon Musk Great Again!
Let's see. Johnson and Trump have treated every Democrat like crap, but now they need at least some of them. The word punt comes to mind.
Scott is cool. He’s always great.
Now they care if Congress signs off on DOGE's actions? Why, after a month and a half do they care now? And farmers are already being impacted with nowhere to sell their crops. There are some crops that have no U.S. market and were grown to go overseas, but that won't happen now that USAID was shut down.
If they pass the budget that Mike Johnson wants it will defund Medicaid. This is a non-starter for me. They are all doing illegal actions to subvert our laws. 🐱
Trump Sandwich: White bread, full of bologna, Russian dressing, and a very SMALL pickle on the side.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are treating Americans as disposable trash!
They have a concept of a plan?
Why is Congress even involved on budgetary matters anymore? Trump does whatever he wants regarding spending, cutting programs, and imposition of taxes (sales tax disguised as tariffs) unless delayed (not stopped) by the Supreme Court. Talking about debt limits is a joke. Trump will slash revenues through tax cuts and crank up spending and as the Master of Debt will push the U.S. into bankruptcy. Familiar territory for him.
I don't care what that smarmy faced Republican, mike Johnson has to say. CBS, if your news doesn't get a lot cheerier here in a short while, I will remove your subscription from my account along with the others I've already removed. These cancellations will even include the subscription to the whitehouse.
When literacy and STEM rankings remain some of the lowest in the developed world, they won't have the DOE to blame 🙂
CBS News shamelessly
Democrats will definitely have a government shutdown to distract their upcoming DOJ investigations and prosecutions for money laundering , fraud, embezzlement and of course Corruption.
No, PLEASE DO NOT GIVE BILLIONAIRES/MILLIONAIRES HUGE TAX CUTS.
Democracy is Dying in America
Welcome to the new US-USSR..
I think the GOP wants a shutdown. They want to have an exciting why they need/should to cut federal workforce because most people won’t see any change if govt shuts down. At least not in short term. The problem is when you do need the services we provide then you’ll be affected.
If your leaders continue to follow your Orange demigod, you are done as a free country
With the loonie party in charge a permanent shutdown is a good bet.
Lord Farquaad, tiny Mike Johnson. Big man in the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
Speak like a dragon boy.
If they're dismantling the government and firing staff to save money, why do they care if the government shuts down? Make it make sense!
