A bipartisan path forward is the only way to avoid a government shutdown that will hurt everyday Americans.

I love his sunny optimism. But Speaker Johnson is no Kevin McCarthy, In many ways, he's more cowardly, but he's also more driven ideologically.

1. I see the...

Current Speaker as someone with horse blinders on and doggedly marching to his utopian ideal while employing everything he preaches against to reach that goal. Democrats have a 360 degree perspective on this whole mess and will, as they have been doing consistently, outsmart them. They have a bunch of wingnuts and senile old white fucks (some are women), we have a deep bench of intellectual, legal eagle superstars who are devoted to correcting our trajectory into the future.

2. Shutting down the government is such smart politics.

3. Speaking of done, he has no gavel after the 9th of November.

5. Actually, he'll be a lame duck until January 3, 2025

...provided we re-take the House.

4. Because playing nice and reaching across the isle has worked so well in the past.

IMO. I say fuck it, let them shut it down and make them own it. It's right before the election, us people will survive 30-60 days. Stop worrying about their feels and looking political.
