Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

A very on brand take from the NYT.
