Democrats Desperately Want to Turn the Lights Off to Stop Elon and DOGE

As Republicans push to pass the continuing resolution (CR) to prevent a government shutdown on Friday, several obstacles remain, including members of the party holding out on voting to move it forward.

GOP Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), known for taking a strong stance against short-term government funding measures, has Republicans fearing he could potentially be one of the party members who stand in the way of passing the spending bill. However, during an interview on Fox & Friends on Sunday, Roy expressed his support of the spending bill.

“There are still a few folks who don’t like it,” Roy said. “Democrats desperately want to turn the lights off to stop Elon and DOGE because they know the American people are now getting a glimpse under the hood.”
