LaffyOops, I spoke to soon. I'll take a break in a minute:
Senate leaders struck a deal on Friday to pave the way for passage of the House GOP’s 7-mo. stopgap spending bill & avoid a shutdown. 1/...
2/ "Under the deal, Democrats agreed to speed up consideration of the bill to allow a vote on Friday in exchange for votes on four amendments — but not Democrats’ preferred four-week funding alternative. Without an accord, it would have taken days to get the stopgap bill through the Senate and a shutdown would have started just after midnight on Saturday" https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/14/senate-moves-ahead-on-shutdown-votes-00231437

Christine Olson@GottaLaff I gave money to several of these senators, but the DNC will NOT get a dime from me now. I will do my own research and give to individual candidates' campaigns. #WWMD (What Would Mitch Do? 👀)
@Runslowrunlong Oh, I stopped giving to the DNC years ago, only individual candidates. Your money is spent well by them, not by the DNC.
@GottaLaff I have given to both individuals and the DNC, thinking the DNC might spread the wealth.😉 But the DNC is so ineffectual in addressing the need for resistance that I'm done with them. 🫤
