HA!! YOU DIP-**** LIAR !!... HERE is another AI Overview:
A
“clean continuing resolution” (clean CR) is a
temporary federal funding measure that keeps the government operating
without adding any new policy changes, conditions, or controversial provisions.Here’s what that means in practical terms:
- Continuing Resolution (CR):
When Congress has not passed all of the regular appropriations bills by the start of a new fiscal year (October 1), a CR allows agencies to continue spending at roughly the same levels as the previous year for a set period (e.g., a few weeks or months). This prevents a government shutdown.
- Clean CR:
A clean CR is one that only extends funding — it does not include “riders” or policy add-ons.
Examples of what a clean CR does not include:
- No changes to immigration policy
- No cuts or increases to specific programs
- No new funding for special initiatives (e.g., border wall, Ukraine aid, etc.)
- No unrelated political conditions (e.g., defunding an agency)
- Purpose:
A clean CR is used when lawmakers want to avoid a shutdown and buy more time to negotiate the full budget, without getting bogged down in partisan disputes.
SO, the Budget extension that Republicans have tried OVER, and OVER, and OVER again to pass... (NOW 8 TIMES)... to pass thru the Senate, and has been KILLED EACH TIME... by 44 Democrats who REFUSE to ACCEPT what they have voted for BEFORE... and Republicans have 56 votes to PASS the BILL, and FUND the government... but FOUR (4) More... to get to 60 votes... and Democrats KILL it... and then ACCUSE Republicans of wanting it killed ! EACH BILL was a "CLEAN CONTINUING RESOLUTION"...
and any additional firings are all trump
-----------------------------------
Republicans are increasing their pressure tactics to shake loose an additional five Democrats to break rank. That includes blocking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer from forcing a vote on his party’s counterproposal, which would fund the government through October, enact new health policies and put guardrails on the Trump administration’s ability to claw back congressionally approved spending.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said there are ongoing bipartisan conversations happening among rank-and-file members but that he didn’t see the dynamic changing this week.
“I’m hoping that in some of their conversations they’ll get more realistic. But, yeah, this needs to end,” Thune told reporters on Wednesday.
So far, Democrats appear unbowed unless Republicans come to the negotiating table regarding an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits, which are due to expire at the end of the year.
“They won’t even negotiate with us,” Schumer said when asked if Democrats should scale back their demands.
In the meantime, the administration is moving ahead with firing federal workers and threatening to withhold back pay for furloughed government employees — though there are early indications each of these actions would face headwinds in the courts.
The stalemate over the stopgap funding bill comes as GOP leadership is trying to move larger, full-year funding bills. The Senate will vote Thursday to proceed to the House-passed measure funding the Defense Department, but Schumer declined to say Wednesday if Democrats would help shore up the necessary support.
