  1. It’s going to come down to whether or not a shutdown slows all the government chaos, isn’t it?

  2. Why the fuck is this being written as if Dems “balk”? It was never supported in the first place. Just a reminder that the NYT has garbage editorial direction.

    Make concessions or you don’t get the votes. It’s a simple proposition, senate republicans

    Give me odds on MAGA/DOGE to use a shutdown as impetus to finally explicitly ignore/usurp the congress and just do things by executive fiat with 0 respect for rule of law.

    ‘Congress has shown that it’s still in the pockets of the deep state, so I have no choice but to unilaterally institute the 2025 emergency powers act without congressional approval’

    I can hear it in my mind. I can see the future.

    > McGovern: The idea that somehow Democrats have the responsibility to pass a CR where we don’t have any input is ridiculous. You run around bragging about this big mandate. Put on your mandate pants and pass whatever you want to do.

    This is what I want every single Democrat saying 24/7 when asked about this.
