Democrats are signaling they won't bail out Republicans as yet another government funding deadline looms — and with a GOP trifecta in Washington, some say it won't be their fault if the government goes dark.
If past negotiations are an indicator of how the vote to stave off the March 14 shutdown deadline will go, the GOP will almost certainly need Democratic support.
The strategy some key Democrats have floated — and that is being encouraged by grassroots groups — is to let the GOP collapse if it can't reach an internal consensus.
As a GOP-controlled Congress empowers President Trump's sweeping executive actions, the Democratic arsenal has been stripped of many of its most powerful weapons. But amid budget talks, some Democrats have expressed willingness to take a stand against Elon Musk-led shifts with their most basic tool: their vote.
The exact details on what lawmakers think the party should be demanding vary, Axios' Andrew Solender reports. But there's harmony on one key factor: Democrats want assurances that the Trump team will stick to whatever spending law Congress passes.

LOL
Another minute another shit tier article title.
Blame game lmao
my opinion is they should vote to increase the debt ceiling (or abolish it all together) but to not vote on a single budget until at least 2027.
You can’t really pass a budget if elon can just ignore it and dictate how the money is actually going to get spent.
