My last note: in every other shutdown fight ever, the leverage of the party that could cause the shutdown came from the fact that the other party didn't want the Fed Gov't to stop functioning.
Given what's happened in the last 50 days, that obviously doesn't apply here.

They just nuked the TSA workers' union contract last week. Those workers aren't going to keep showing up UNPAID for a month and act like everything is normal.
One kills democrat momentum in crawford’s election. The other doesn’t.
If crawford loses, the GOP believes there is no chance for anyone to win against elon’s money or as a lone wolf on any topic. They will only answer to the admin.

“Fund the government or we’ll shoot the baby and by the way fund the government and we’ll shoot the baby.” is a weird argument to fold to.
See Sen Schiff on Substack for his NO vote rationale.

Lots of uncertainty on option B. But option A is certain to be bad.
