    “There is no off-ramp,” for a government shutdown, Schumer told the Times. “The off-ramp is in the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk and DOGE. We could be in a shutdown for six months or nine months.”

    That’s exactly how they get you to vote for these shitty bills every time. Fucking fear over what will happen if you don’t cave. Nothing gets better if you give in to bullies every time.
