GOP never loses votes over their BS. It is not BS to not cave to GOP, on only legislative chance to get anything at all from them.
But what would we get from them? They want the government shut down. This is exactly what Musk is doing with all his firings. It would be a win-win for Trump. Shut down the infrastructure, “save money”, cry victim.
Push, with Dem support, a clean CR. Giving Trump unchecked power to destroy America would normally give "political points" to those who think it is a bad idea. Using the shutdown, and refusal/veto of clean CR, to destroy America might still let congress including GOP to try and stop it, instead of giving Trump those unchecked powers to never be questioned on it.
Absurd to take blame for corrupt GOP media dominance.
