00:00Also last week, the Senate voted to give Trump and Elon Musk even more power by passing the
00:07continued resolution to fund the government.
00:11Let me be clear, a government shutdown would be horrible for Americans.
00:17But I could not in good conscience support a bill that would reduce congressional oversight
00:23and send more money for deportations and cut staff at the Social Security Administration
00:28and eliminate programs for veterans.
00:31I am disgusted that several Senate Democrats gave up our first point of leverage, thanks
00:41to our Minnesota Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, who voted against the disastrous
00:46Republican continued resolution.
