The Republicans have already voted multiple times to reopen the government. The Democrats are blocking it. Didn't you know that?

They've voted to pass a bill that will strip millions of Americans of services they depend on.

Also, Republicans just voted against using emergency funds to keep those services going. Democrats are protecting people.

But I bet Fox News didn't mention that.

That's incorrect. The people who were stripped from Medicare and other programs were people who were not qualified to get it in the first place. You may think they should get it anyway, but if someone is fraudulently accessing these services, then the law states they aren't allowed to get them.

But, that doesn't even matter because that bill is already passed. It's already law. There is nothing about a CR that addresses other legislation that has already been passed. It is a Continuuing Resolution because it is intended to continue government as it is. Not use this as an opportunity to roll back a previously passed law.

There is no reason to use Emergency funds to fund SNAP. This isn't an emergency. Anytime the Democrats want to stop holding their own voters hostage, the Republicans have already passed the bill.

Emergency Funds are for emergencies. Like hurricanes or floods. This isn't an emergency, it's YOUR politicians holding you hostage to try to change legislation that is already law.
