Maybe you haven’t noticed, but things have gotten quite chaotic with Democrats’ infrastructure push and, you know, keeping the government running.
Democratic leaders are left with few options after Republican senators shot down their government funding bill that would avoid the looming shutdown on Friday and raise the national debt limit. Failing to do the later would lead to an economic disaster next month, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned.
Meanwhile, Democrats are still wrestling over infrastructure legislation after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) effectively de-linked the bipartisan bill from the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill that moderates have kicked up a storm over. Pelosi has scheduled a vote on the bipartisan legislation for tomorrow, and progressive Democrats have threatened to sink it if the reconciliation bill isn’t ready for a vote at the same time, per the initial agreement within the caucus.

And all this fight over reconciliation overshadowing that the government is on schedule to shut down at midnight tomorrow.
A sad time in the USA
Journalism is going down hill. ‘Shitshow’? Really?
Having said that……

Oh, I don’t know - I think they’re far more unified. It’s easy when the unification just involves saying ‘no’ to everything.
Calling a spade a shovel, if you ask me. Because it really is exactly as it was described. I don’t know how history will be written about this time-period, and s-show isn’t really an official term, but there’s just no other way to describe it.
History is written by the victors.
The GQP victors, should they succeed, will point to this time-period as the turning point that finally brought them to autocratic power in America, won them Congressional dominance in both houses in 2022 and installed T**** or his designee as POTUS in 2024.
The Dem victors can only hope that they point to the voters who said no to autocracy and put the Biden agenda into play.
