Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.
They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then
If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there?
Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff."
You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

I’m no Bible expert but I seem to remember Jesus saying pretty much the exact opposite

We need to refer to Trump and Epstein as Trumpstein. They’re a couple, like Bennifer (h/t to Dean Obeidallah) #Trumpstein

Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins pushed back on reports his department would slash over 80,000 jobs, claiming internal memos reflected only “goals.” Oh, great so you’re planning to cut 80,000 jobs but just haven’t done it yet. That’s reassuring.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org
18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:
