“One is a continuing resolution that isn’t even a real appropriations bill ... it’s just cementing the budget decisions that were made last year, and then the defense bill.”

Musk's involvement in all this may seem odd but he demonstrated his willingness to jump into the fray back in December when, you'll recall, he managed to kill a delicately negotiated bipartisan continuing resolution demanding that the government shut down until Donald Trump was inaugurated.

Earlier this year, the House passed a continuing resolution that funded the government through the end of the current fiscal year.

While Republicans are expected to allocate more money in their budget this summer, money from the continuing resolution could pay for some of the additional beds.

The ad attacks Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, for voting against a GOP continuing resolution that funded the government through September, which most Democrats opposed because it did nothing to check the Trump administration's impoundment of congressionally-authorized spending.
