Only one House Democrat voted in the US House of Representatives voted for a spending bill that Republicans passed to keep the US government open.

The House passed a stopgap spending bill, known as a continuing resolution or “CR,” to keep the government open until September on Tuesday. Only one Republican, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted against the legislation.

Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democrat to join Republicans in the legislation.

    Jared Golden of Maine

    Shall be henceforth remembered as a traitor.

    He betrayed his colleagues. He betrayed the opposition. He betrayed the country by extending the fascist shit show a little longer.

    “This is a deeply partisan spending bill that not only contains completely unnegotiated and unexamined cuts – beyond that, it actually takes away all accountability from the president and strips Congress of their ability to actually review the tariffs that are being put forth by the executive,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York told The Indpendent before the vote.

    I’m assuming this is why she’s in the photo, lazy fucking journalism. Let the tools decide as if they aren’t biased

    It’s fine to use them but for fuck sakes someone should approve the final product before publishing it

    But House Democrats opposed the legislation because of the fact the bill includes major cuts to programs from everything from education, health care and energy.

    “This is a deeply partisan spending bill that not only contains completely unnegotiated and unexamined cuts – beyond that, it actually takes away all accountability from the president and strips Congress of their ability to actually review the tariffs that are being put forth by the executive,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York told The Indpendent before the vote.

    In case anyone is wondering why the dems voted no to this.
