Oddbean new post about login | logout The House Republican Train Wreck Punchbowl News: “We are now 17 days before a government shutdown and House Republicans are absolutely nowhere on their individual spending bills. The right is revolting over passing a short-term funding bill. Meanwhile, McCarthy has vowed not to pass an omnibus spending bill.” “A shutdown is more likely than not at this point.”
@9703c978 Once again, the Republicans will present a list of unreasonable and implausible demands. Then, they'll shut the government down if ALL those demands aren't met while blaming the Democrats for the consequences. The Republicans are hostage-takers who operate entirely in bad faith, without regard for the best interests of the nation. Their unquenchable thirst for power, and their unending sense of entitlement are their only motivations.
