    “I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.”

    What’s his reason for saying this? How does a government shutdown give Trump more power?

      Citing what I saw on Philip DeFranco earlier, apparently in a shutdown the executive branch has a lot of power in terms of what specifics get shutdown and how.

      Was news to me considering the shitshow that happens every time the budget needs to be voted on but with all the DOGEness going on makes sense that there’s extra caution around this. Still sucks that Dems rolled over so easily.
