| #5 If he caves, we should see Speaker Stefanik in July. I would trade a release of the J6 video for the debt ceiling. That would bring the doom I am looking for. |

| #2 McCarthy would be in far better position if he had run roughshod on the appropriations committees to have those actions in hand with the amount they were going to give the administration to work with. Budget? BS! This is what you are going to get. Instead look forward to another f'ing bloated omnibus bill. Why even show up anymore? |

| #1 Biden has said they will not cut any spending; historically the Dems win on such confrontations and shut-downs. |
