Ugh. MAGA Republicans are threatening a shutdown. Again (please read)

Friend, U.S. House conservative extremists are continuing their threats of a government shutdown. [Sign and send the petition to your member of Congress: Pass a clean funding bill. No GOP hostage taking.]( [Sign and send the petition]( With a September 30th deadline looming to pass a stopgap measure to prevent a shutdown, MAGA Republicans insist on extreme [demands]( like impeaching President Biden and stopping “woke policies in the Pentagon.” Even the U.S. Senate Republicans [find]( these House GOP’s demands outlandish. A federal shutdown would impact hundreds of thousands of federal workers and many of the federal services Americans use and need. We will not allow a government shutdown for Republican grandstanding. Stop the shenanigans and pass the stopgap! [Sign and send the petition to your member of the House: NO to government shutdowns, no to impeaching Biden, no to hostage taking. Pass a clean funding bill.]( [Sign and send the petition]( Thanks for all you do, Erin Tulley, Daily Kos P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding no government shutdown: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, [sign and send the petition to your member of Congress: Pass a clean funding bill. No GOP hostage taking.]( [Sign and send the petition]( If Congress does not pass a spending bill before September 30, we will have a federal [government shutdown](. That would stop many essential government services that people rely on, and even jeopardize emergency funding for Ukraine and federal disaster funds in the middle of hurricane and wildfire season. Of course, that's exactly what MAGA extremists in the House are pushing for. Not content with having threatened the full faith and credit of the United States [earlier this year](, some now want to [shut down the federal government](. Marjorie Taylor Greene has declared that [she will not vote]( for any funding bill unless the House begins impeaching Joe Biden. Other Republicans are demanding that the federal prosecutors who indicted Donald Trump [be defunded](. The White House has asked Congress to [pass a clean, short-term funding bill](. We cannot risk the real downside of a government shutdown for another MAGA tantrum. No matter where in the country you live or what political party your member of Congress belongs to, they need to hear from their constituents today. [Sign and send the petition to your member of the House: NO to government shutdowns, no to impeaching Biden, no to hostage taking. Pass a clean funding bill.]( [Sign and send the petition]( Keep fighting, Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos Daily Kos is powered by grassroots donors like you Donations from our readers and activists like you are our largest source of income.
