Five negatives in one sentence is a lot.

This is a great take on the Senate Democrats. No notes.

Did you know there are little tabs at the top that change the feed? I apparently inadvertently switched it, which is a relief to realize, actually.

Absolutely fair point. And I hope the rumor is wrong. Either way, reacting to this possibility acts as a useful trial balloon, don’t you think?

Right. Like why even negotiate the CR? If we’re not using this time to work on the actual appropriations, then what are we even doing? Just feeding the authoritarian fever dreams of the administration that preferrs Congress remain shuttered?

If the rumor is wrong, great. But expressing negative reaction to that possible outcome, even if it doesn’t materialize, is good and emboldens the bargaining position.

Good observation
