a lot of congressional negotiations come down to the fact that Democrats are less willing to hurt people in the name of stupid bullshit than Republicans are and so they blink at the last minute

Meanwhile, as a Commanders fan, it means the team likely won't return to the district. Fuck Musk.
Government employees will get interest free loans from credit unions and full repayment of lost wages when it's over.
It's a free Christmas break to them.
Like, I get it, but Musk won! The children with cancer lost.
I don’t know if now was a good moment to do that. But it does need to happen.
I for one am glad that I'm not having to drain my savings and use my credit card to keep from bouncing the mortgage check or the car payment.
Johnson (if he's still Speaker by then) can't reliably count on his party when he found out first-hand just now there will be a lot of them holding him back.
GOP happy to throw vulnerable Americans under the bus to avoid dealing with debt ceiling suspension + tax cuts (Biden signed under Fiscal Responsibility Act 2023) next year.
Biden’s ‘quiet quitting’ is making this point all that much harder when he should be amplifying Dem position.
Can you remind me whats happening there?
You think they should have shutdown the government for a month, taking SNAP benes and paychecks outta people’s hands and the first thing Trump does is get a big win reopening and Dems still don’t get what they want? Thats…. Better?
But then again that's why Democrats lose, they don't hurt people to win political points.
Take the L and move on.
... OK.
