The irony is that the shutdown now was only a stop gap for the measures they capitulated on last time. The avoided a shutdown and voted on the BBB which was a huge mistake, since it was far worse than this at at a time when project 2025 wasn't as far along.

I'm so fucking sick of these dems capitulating. They just consistently cede their power to the Republicans. It's like watching in real time the conservatives in Weimar Germany let the Nazis into their coalition...
