What exactly is a “continuing resolution”? What’s the difference between an “omnibus” and a “minibus”? And why do these always seem to come with the threat of a government shutdown every few months? My conversation with Thomas Massie.

@RepThomasMassie All we need to know about Rep Massie is that he’s not bought and paid for!

OnlineBookClub.org1 year ago

What is the nature of an existence that is experienced entirely outside of time itself? Can a single decision that is made in a state of timelessness simultaneously affect EVERY point in time and space? Groundbreaking reconciliation of creationism with natural science.

@RepThomasMassie America’s biggest threat may be our dollar collapsing due to money printing.

@RepThomasMassie Massie is one of the only ones worth a damn in Congress. 🥇

@RepThomasMassie Anything other than passing the 12 Individual Appropriations Bills to fund Government is continuing the swamp. It is not a mistake since FY1997 that we have amassed 31 Trillion in Debt.

@RepThomasMassie The swamp wants to muzzle Massie! Massie has always been America First!

@RepThomasMassie Thomas Massie isn’t my rep, but he reps me more than ANYONE in congress. Thank you for giving him this platform. Probably the only person in Congress that isn’t bought and paid for, and has some brains🫡🇺🇸

With government funding set to expire in September, Margaret Brennan asks OMB Director Russell Vought if the White House is open to a continuing resolution or is preparing for a shutdown in light of Vought’s call for a “less bipartisan” appropriations process in Congress: Vought: “We are not laying the predicate for a shutdown… The bipartisan appropriations process is broken. It leads to omnibus bills. We want to prevent an omnibus bill, and all options are on the table to be able to do that.”

.President Donald J. Trump and Senate Republicans are ready to act on a clean continuing resolution to fund the government and avoid a #SchumerShutdown. It’s only the Democrat leader who is standing between a fully funded government and a government shutdown.

MacFarlane: Since the ceasefire took effect April 7th, these deals seem to come and go. There is such a big difference between an agreement in principle and an agreement in reality. Anybody trying to navigate a chore list with their kids can tell you the difference between an agreement in principle and an agreement in reality

There is a very easy exit on the government shutdown, and that is for our Democrat colleagues to do what they did 13 times during Joe Biden's administration and what they’ve refused to do 13 times for President Trumps administration: pass a clean continuing resolution.

Republicans "led" America right into a shutdown. To Republicans: it is your job to show up for the American people and work with us to pass a continuing resolution. My team and I will continue to support the people of IL-03 during this shutdown.

This is the opportunity to fund the government in a bipartisan, responsible way. I implore my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to commit to working with us to pass these bills and to take the threat of a Schumer shutdown off the table.

Do you know what the difference between a businessman and a politician is🤔? The businessman saves you $298,500,000 and does the job in weeks instead of THREE YEARS🫨! That is EXACTLY why DC hates DJT😡. It’s because an outsider, with real world experience, CAN ACTUALLY FIX 🇺🇸

The president of the American Federation of Government Employees – a labor union most often aligned with Democrats - said, “It’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.

.Senate Republicans intends to do everything in our power to pass legislation as soon as possible that will fund the government and prevent a Schumer shutdown. I hope that when we put this clean continuing resolution on the floor that Democrats will come to their senses and do what is right.

“The gold standard for ending a shutdown has been a clean continuing resolution...That is what the Republicans have passed in the House, that is what they sent to the Senate, and that is what Senate Democrats have blocked using the filibuster.” Brit Hume weighs in on whether the government shutdown is any closer to ending as Democrats and unions weigh in.

The U.S. federal government is officially in a partial shutdown because Democrats want illegal aliens to get free healthcare 🔻 What's Next? Negotiations are likely to resume, potentially leading to a short-term continuing resolution to restore funding. 🔻 Likely Timeline? Negotiations could resume as early as today, with the Senate potentially voting again on a continuing resolution to fund the government through November 21, 2025. Past shutdowns have lasted from a few days to over a month, with an average of about 8 days since 1977.

Thomas Massie said... and I quote: "If I lose on May 19th, I am not doing any more government ever." If that is the case, why is he filing to run for Federal Office in 2028? Because Thomas Massie is a liar, and Thomas Massie is a grifter.

We shouldn’t be talking about how to avoid a fake government shutdown. We should be talking about how to *achieve a real one.* We see the same theatrics every few months because the GOP refuses to do what I’ve pledged to accomplish: shut down the administrative state for good. The short-term fake shutdown debate is a joke: Everyone gets backpay. Everything goes back to normal, with a little more funding and a slightly bigger government. The bureaucracy wins every time. The right answer is to *actually* shut it down. 🇺🇸 Neil Cavuto
