With many Republicans refusing to back more government spending, Democrats supplied the bulk of the votes to extend federal funding through early 2024.
The Democrats can’t do this again though. Republicans want to govern, let them govern. Let the voters see what it means when the government stops functioning. Give them a prelude to 2025 if Trump wins.
Eventually it’s not just hundreds of thousands of federal employees that starve. It starts getting to CMS funds and people can’t get healthcare. Then SNAP can’t get funds and people start starving. Not something I’d be willing to gamble with for political gain.

So if they were to take over and their infighting causes these events, what then?
