Welcome to Kadapn Here, a podcast increasingly ruled by an absolutely unhinged and unrestrained band of Nazis and apparently their democratic collaborators. I am your host, Mia Wong, with me is James Stout. I'm Mia's collaborator today. Yay, this is Collaborator Good. We are talking today about Collaborator Bad.

So, on Friday, Senator Chuck Schumer and his allies, in an act of democratic collaboration with the regime that looks even more hideous now than it did then in the wake of a series of absolutely horrific deportations in the last few days, voted for basically a continuing funding resolution. So, this is... This is a little bit complicated, but I believe in us.

We can get through a little tiny bit of Senate bullshit. So basically what's happening is that they need a resolution to keep funding the government for a little bit until more negotiations can happen to fund a budget. There hasn't been a budget. Basically, like we keep seeing this over and over again. They're keeping continuing funding resolutions.

They keep almost being government shutdowns because if there's not a continuing funding resolution and there's no budget, the government doesn't have any money. What happened here was that so in the Senate, you can filibuster this. And a whole bunch of senators, Schumer and others, who we will be reading out later after we talk about what this resolution actually did, because it's unhinged.

So you've probably been hearing if you've been hearing about this, you've been hearing it called a cloture vote. So what that is, is basically the absolute shortest version of it is it's a vote to kill a filibuster on the bill. You filibuster by continuing debate, cloture ends debate, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So this resolution is staggeringly unhinged.

It is not a very long funding continuation. It includes $13 billion in cuts to non-military spending and also $6 billion in military spending cuts. There are a lot of things that have been sort of defunded by this, including like a lot of like housing and urban development stuff. It's a research ship.

You know, and that's obviously really bad because normally with these resolutions, you're just sort of like continuing the funding, right? But this is not a normal continuing resolution. This is... It is very, very overdramatic to do the thing that a lot of people have been doing, which is comparing it to the enabling acts that the Nazis passed. Yeah, it's not.
