Shutting down the government is like turning off a train at high speed. The "See? Nothing changed" argument doesn't hold water over time.

Oh I meant longer term than that. I think there's like 3 million people in NoVa, of which 600,000 are either federal employees or federal contractors. Let's say the top 50% of the 3 million can afford a piano, you're looking at 40% of the local market no longer having the means to purchase a piano. Again, long term...

We won’t notice …. Unless we do. Like if you’re the one who can’t get his passport renewed in time, or you’re the one who faces a 2 hour delay at airport security or a canceled flight because so many call in sick (like last time), tired of working without getting paid.

Didn’t want to raise the debt limit without spending cuts.
Trump had been insisting on raising it before he gets into office so it isn’t ’on him’.

Ok, respectable.

Interesting that ~20% of his house caucus will defy him despite the fact that they could face primaries in 14 months or so.
Makes me optimistic that there will be enough senate votes to kill Kennedy.

Funny how it’s always a Kennedy that gets killed.

So they take the debt ceiling issue out of the CR and it passes. Any word from DJT?
