Donald Trump Draws Red Lines for Republicans on Government Shutdown

Former President Donald Trump is drawing a hard line for congressional Republicans, urging them to shut down the government if the continuing resolution to keep it open doesn't include the controversial SAVE Act, a measure requiring proof of citizenship for voting.

"If Republicans don't get the SAVE Act, and every ounce of it, they should not agree to a Continuing Resolution in any way, shape, or form," Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday.

Trump has ramped up his demands as House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, scramble to avert a government shutdown before the September 30 deadline.

Johnson's plan, a six-month stopgap funding measure combined with the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, is scheduled for a vote Wednesday. The legislation has drawn sharp criticism from within Johnson's own party, making its passage uncertain.

What is the SAVE Act? It is the “Big Lie” on steroids, it requires proof of citizenship in order to vote. First of all even if they pass the bill it would never make it in to law before the elections. But mainly it is based on the lie of illegal aliens voting it is a flat out lie that keep spreading just like the Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs. (Which had lead to multiple bomb threats, an unknown white powder sent through the mail, and other threat against Springfield Ohio.)

They are willing to shut down the government for the “Big Lie” so Trump can get elected.

Politico...

Speaker Mike Johnson’s six-month government funding plan failed on the House floor Wednesday amid yet another rebellion within the House Republican conference over spending.

The collapse, which was expected, follows a weeklong effort to shore up support for Johnson’s stopgap, which would leave federal agencies with largely static budgets through March 28. It also included legislation that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote, known as the SAVE Act. GOP leaders pulled the package from the floor last week amid the same internal party problems, pushing forward with a vote Wednesday despite dim prospects for passage.

Fourteen House Republicans ultimately joined most Democrats to sink Johnson’s stopgap proposal on Wednesday, culminating in a 202-220 vote, with Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) voting present. Reps. Jared Golden (D-Maine), Don Davis (D-N.C.) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) were the Democrats who voted for the measure.

Party before country.

Party before the voters.

Where have you heard that before?

Vote Blue to keep our democracy!
