Where was the bargaining chip? Don’t shut down the gov, and the Rs win. Shut down the government, and doge and the pres win, and the rest of the Rs are still pretty happy.

They didn’t have to do either, there was a resolution to fund the government for another month on last year’s funding bill until something could be drafted that would pass.

A resolution that was legitimately doable? I didn’t hear about that. At its best it sounds like kicking the can down the road a month.
