Swalwell gives profane advice to GOP amid 'nonsense' to avoid 'falling down' next year
A California Democrat gave Republicans a piece of his mind following a vote Friday night on a temporary spending bill, echoing a profane sentiment felt by millions of Americans: "Get your s--- together."
The House voted at the 11th hour to temporarily fund the government with a new bill following the collapse of their own revised bill, which became necessary when President-elect Donald Trump and ally Elon Musk torpedoed their first effort. The latest funding bill passed in the House by a vote of 366-34. A two-thirds vote was needed in the House to avert a shutdown. The legislation now heads to the Senate, which has until midnight to pass the bill.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) told Raw Story following a much-anticipated House vote to fund the government through March that the brouhaha this week shows Republicans have a lot of work to do.
"These guys gotta get their s--- together for next year because the margins are tighter. The stakes are higher. And people aren't going to go for this," he said.
When asked if Trump and Musk missed that memo, Swalwell responded that the duo won't succeed if they continue this "nonsense."
"It'll all fall down on them," said Swalwell.
