WASHINGTON (AP) — On the brink of a federal government shutdown, Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced a dramatic pivot Saturday, trying to push a 45-day funding bill through the House with Democratic help — a move that could keep government open but most certainly risks his job.

Republican lawmakers met behind closed doors early at the Capitol with hours to go before the midnight deadline needed to fund government operations or face a disruptive federal closure.

The new approach would leave behind aid to Ukraine, a White House priority opposed by a growing number of GOP lawmakers, but the plan would increase federal disaster assistance by $16 billion, meeting 's full request.

[SaxxonWoods]

It’s all a show, including the shutdown if it happens. Meaningless.

[tennmountainman]

Vacate McCarthy.
He wants to work deals with RATS, not his own GOP House Members.

One hundred percent posturers and fakes.

Not 75%, not 90 %, not 99 %.

One hundred percent.

This gets real old. Every year same damned thing. The Republicans blink on the budget bills and the omnibus crap. Never shut anything down. No functional opposition. It’s a Uni-party. Just useless.

How can these people face their children and grandchildren when the shackle them with unsustainable debt?

[Reno89519]

No! This is when the house uses the power of the purse! Fund a border wall! Ban all state issued drivers licenses to illegal aliens and cut off federal transportation funds to those states until they do rescind those licenses. Ban all federal support for abortion. Get the federal government entirely out of the abortion debate, remove it from the 2024 election.

[cowboyusa]

McCarthy had 9 months, 9 MOUNTHS to do regular order and he dawdled, another rhino loser, VACATE THE CHAIR! Byron Donalds should be Speaker.

You do realize that electoral politics is a conspiracy to make the decline and fall of Western civilization entertaining?

Like gambling is a conspiracy to make the appropriation of your money entertaining.

But gambling is most entertaining for the house, as they watch the losers' cash flow into their coffers. Who is electoral politics entertaining for?

[ConservativeInPA]

So the faggot Speaker wants to continue Pelosi and Biden’s spending from last year’s Democrat Congress. Remove the faggot.
