The US system doesn’t work without consensus, and it’s adamantly not about individuals like McCarthy or McConnell.
The representatives in the House and Senate that Americans elected represent strong disagreements. We should be talking about how our elected representatives have to find common ground to move forward, not about the Senate jamming the Speaker of the House.
That dramatic line misses what actually goes on even as we’re relying on the gears of Congress to turn.
These folks all represent disagreement. They all need to find agreement.

Trying to push "both sides" narrative is obviously a #falseflag #strawman position.

The continuing resolution, they said, must also include provisions that “address the unprecedented weaponization of the Justice Department & FBI” & it must “end the Left’s cancerous woke policies in the Pentagon.”

The #FarRight House Freedom Caucus announced Monday that its members will not support a #stopgap #funding bill to keep the government running past the end of next month unless several of its *conservative* policy priorities on #immigration & other issues are attached.

322 followers · 799 posts · Server mstdn.partyTo be honest, the best possible outcome of the #House #Speaker #Vote would be some version of a coalition government, in which #Republicans make concessions to #Democrats about things like the #debtceiling and avoiding #governmentshutdown. That's far preferable to the concessions being made to the far right loons wanting the #House to cease to function at all.

¡Qué raro! · @raro
404 followers · 547 posts · Server digitalcourage.socialThe real reason the chaos in the House should scare us
Can this Congress actually pass a debt ceiling increase?
Despite the chaos currently engulfing Kevin McCarthy’s bid to become speaker of the House, the chamber’s Republicans will probably, eventually end up united around a GOP speaker candidate.
After that is when things might get really scary.

“Congress bought itself some time Thursday night when the Senate approved a one-week stopgap spending measure. The deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown was Friday, and now lawmakers have more time to iron out the details on a much larger spending package.” #politics #budget #governmentshutdown
