What do you think about Maria’s and Matt’s exchange?
I actually agree with Maria. And Jim Jordan and most others. The border is a crisis and the CR that didn’t pass because of 5 votes did at least address that. And it did cut spending somewhat.
The real problem, as Ted Cruz agrees, was when the Senate Republicans went along with the then Democrat controlled House and approved spending for the rest of the year, before Republicans took their small majority.
They may be able to approve some individual appropriations before deadline but not enough.
Shutting down the government, in reality, isn’t a bad thing. But the executive branch will do everything in their power to use it to hurt the people the most they can. I bet who won’t hurt is Ukraine and illegals. That’s the way it works.
