    Or passing bills to selectively fund only the programs they like while leaving the Dept of Education and others unfunded?

    That’s exactly what they did. This wasn’t a clean continuing resolution. In the bill was language that effectively retroactively legalizes Trump’s ability to strip parts from the budget as he pleases. Previously he was doing this in violation of the law. Now he’ll be doing it in accordance with the law, and it will be far harder for the courts to stop him.

    This wasn’t a continuing resolution. It was an Enabling Act.
