I am asking you to allow for a government shutdown. I know it will hurt, but we are already hurting. Do not give in at all for this absurd budget proposal, and convince your colleagues to do the same. I am begging you and all the democrats to just shut it down at this point. The current administration love to “move fast and break things”, and by shutting down the government, you can take away “move fast”. What needs to happen most right now is to stop Trump’s momentum of amassing power through illegal executive orders. If you pass up this opportunity to slow him down, I’m afraid you won’t get another chance.
