They need to pass the CR to fund the government through September. The fiscal year 2026 budget will include all of the DOGE cuts, Trump's tax cuts and whatever and will be done through reconciliation. It's the best opportunity to shrink size of the federal government for the first time in 50 years. The democrats want to avoid that and apparently Massie does also.
I don't think we can subscribe the same motives to Massie as the dems just because he and they are voting no. They can both vote no but for different reasons. That doesn't mean they are the same.

Right.
D's vote no because they want to vote no for anything Trump wants.
Massie votes no because it is not a responsible budget.
So, it is a DUMB take to say Massie is just like the D's.
It will have the same effect. Massie is great but in this case he’s blocking out first snd maybe only chance to get things fixed.
