Trump signs Republican spending bill to avert government shutdown
Bill passed Senate 54-46 but furious progressives accuse yes-vote senators of acquiescing to Trump
The Senate on Friday approved a Republican bill to fund federal agencies through September, averting a government shutdown hours before the midnight deadline after Democrats relented.
The bill passed the Senate in a 54-46 vote, overcoming steep Democratic opposition. On Saturday, Donald Trump signed it into law, the White House said.
Bipartisan spending bill. It had the support of Just Enough Democrats.
Bipartisan spending bill.
Yes, unfortunately. Chuck Schumer handed the country over to fascists in exchange for nothing so his billionaire donors' stock portfolios would go up. Schumer made the next small step and we are all closer to the death camps.

No, they only needed eight Democrats in the Senate. They got ten. It was overkill. They also got one House Democrat. This in excellent opportunity to educate people that Democrats serve the same billionaires as Republicans and the magnitude of the work that will need to be done to fix it. We need to overturn Citizens United and get money out of politics at the bare minimum. edit: capitalization
