The bill now goes to the Senate, where many Democrats oppose it but are not ready to vote against it yet

Only one House Democrat voted in the US House of Representatives voted for a spending bill that Republicans passed to keep the US government open.

The House passed a stopgap spending bill, known as a continuing resolution or “CR,” to keep the government open until September on Tuesday. Only one Republican, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted against the legislation.

Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democrat to join Republicans in the legislation.

    Jared Golden of Maine

    Shall be henceforth remembered as a traitor.

    He betrayed his colleagues. He betrayed the opposition. He betrayed the country by extending the fascist shit show a little longer.

        This might be our only opportunity. If we fail here, future efforts might be complicated by, oh, the total collapse of American democracy (or what’s left of it)

      So, how quickly can we find a primary challenger? He’s up for re-election in 2026 and that means we have almost two years to campaign.
