Maybe I’m late to this realization, but it just hit me…
What are the odds that Speaker Johnson calls the House back for a CR vote with the Epstein files still hanging over his head?
Those 8 Dems might have hung themselves out to dry and risked being primaried for nothing.

Why are dems doing nothing more than kicking the can down the road with this “deal” they made? Why are they making a deal based on a pinky swear? This is not acceptable. The deal does not address the lawless power they’ve with d has to impound money and do pocket revisions. We get nowhere.

What “concessions” did Democrats get for their cave? Not nothing. But by treating these things as “concessions,” Democrats are ultimately rewarding Trump for his bare-knuckle shutdown tactics.

Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker
Perhaps ending the shutdown was the responsible thing to do. But by caving, Democrats risk legitimizing Trump’s maximum-pain shutdown tactics.

Yeah, despite the rumblings from other reporters this still feels like another bit of Axios wishcasting.
What's for certain is that any Democrat who votes to cave now and betray the base in exchange for nothing at all will live to regret it.
