With nine days left before the Nov. 17 deadline, neither the House nor the Senate have settled on a path forward, and Speaker Mike Johnson is considering an array of GOP ideas.
TBH, except for the fact that the civil servants wouldn’t get paid and Congress will, I’d be fine if the House took a year-long sabbatical. Not like they’re going to accomplish anything, with Mike bringing loser bills to the floor at every opportunity.
I would normally agree, but at this point, with the MAGA Republicans holding the purse strings (the House can do a lot of damage by messing with budgets), I’ll take a bit of gridlock in the House.

Nah nothing ridiculous will get through the senate and Biden’s veto. The US is often described as having the most vetos of any democracy in the world.
That said, if and when the Senate or the Presidency flips, I’m with you.
