Hey hey hey some good news out of DC! Someone is showing a backbone! Will nbe great to see a bill pass with both D and R support. That's how it's supposed to work.
Speaker Johnson is standing by his deal with the Dems to keep the government open, in direct opposition to the clown caucus in the GOP. I didn't think he had it in him.
Let's see
1/ if Johnson does stay with his deal
2/ if Johnson is still speaker in two weeks
Speaker Mike Johnson said on Friday that he stood by the spending deal he negotiated with Democrats to avert a government shutdown, spurning demands from ultraconservatives who have pressured him to jettison the agreement.
The announcement, after days of public silence about what he would do, all but guaranteed that Mr. Johnson will have to work with Democrats in the coming days to pass a short-term bill to keep the government funded past a pair of deadlines on Jan. 19 and Feb. 2, going back on his promise to never bring up another temporary spending measure.
