If we enter a shutdown, Congressional Republicans would weaponize their majorities to cherry-pick which parts of government to reopen.

Ask McConnell what he would do if he was you. He was a much more effective leader. Please take me off Democratic fundraising mailing lists.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week – a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill – hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.
