How is it "clean" when it defunded support for Ukraine and added pay increases for Congress?

[-] speff@lemm.ee 39 points 2 years ago

They're funded through next Feb, iirc. They're not going to run out of support - until the next shitshow discussion that is

[-] meldroc@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

IIRC Ukraine funding was deemed important to national security, so was exempt from any shutdown.

If it's any consolation Congress can't raise their own pay for the current term, the increase will go into effect starting Jan 1st 2025

They can eat my entire ass. Pre shower.

That's something they throw into bills to trick people that don't know how they actually make their money.
