If the MAGA party didn't really want to shut down the government, the 53 MAGA Senators could change the Senate rules, pass what they want and the government stays "open".
Either the MAGA Senators want to keep the 60 vote rule or they want to do political posturing. Maybe both.

While my wifey likes watching @newsnation.bsky.social especially @chrisccuomo.bsky.social I'm thinking they've lurched to the right. I'm sorry if I have a big BBC bias but that's the way I see how news should be done. Usually. But here's my critique... 1/4

If we apply Trump logic (yeah I know that's an oxymoron) and say that Canada is the 51st state (which it isn't), that means that Charles III of England and Canada is the King of America (which he isn't).
Move over Donnie, there's a new king. And he's real.

Personal news:
1. My doctors have cleared me to go back to work WITHOUT restrictions! Yay!
2. I filed taxes today. Had to pay another $6k to Uncle Sam. Ouchie for me but that's the cost for living in a civilised society. Though whether the US is civilised enough is up for debate.

Welcome to the Trump tax. I purchased $144,000 worth of goods and have to pay a $76,000 tariff.
25% Aluminum
20% China is bad
7.5% Telecom
That’s 52 1/2%. China didn’t pay the tariff I did.

For T-Mobile and I, it's too late. I gave T-Mo an opportunity to save me from going elsewhere. They blew it. The Deathstar (AT&T) now has my mobile phone business as well as my fiber business. For less money, even with new phones. Thanks T-Mo!

Learning that Voice of America got silenced. :( :( :( :(
Not a listener but the fact that the US government has basically shut down its own public service international broadcaster is not good in my own book.
To those who worked at VOA... I'm sorry.
