At least one Democrat is saying explicitly that the party should fight back against Trump and Musk by refusing to help Republicans reach a government funding deal.
“Look, if we have to take steps to be able to hold them accountable,
use the leverage that we have to force it,
I cannot support efforts that will continue this lawlessness that we’re seeing when it comes to this administration’s actions,”
Sen. #Andy #Kim
(D-New Jersey) said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”
“And for us to be able to support government funding in that way
only for them to turn it around to dismantle the government,
that is not something that should be allowed."
