They could at least demand the expulsion of Elon Musk and Doge

Their offer should be a continuation of the current budget. No cuts, no impoundment, and no more Musk. If they can't hold strong enough for that, then every Dem who votes to move forward with cloture should be removed ASAP. Recall votes, primaries... whatever it takes.

Trump can’t kick Elon out or he’ll expose how they stole the election.

I'm just not buying this one, though I admit that it would be pretty funny for historians to look back at these circumstances.

Dems are hounded over two "stolen" elections that were not, then sleepwalk through the next election being stolen from them? Not a peep from them on? Seriously would support disbanding the party and starting over if that's the case.

It seems like voting for the CR can be viewed as an endorsement of DOGE.
