For the third time, Democrats in the House of Representatives have had to make like Mighty Mouse and come to Save The Day. With today's passage of a short-term spending bill, the government will not shut down, fully or partially, until March — when we get the chance to do all this cr*p again (which you know we will, because Mike Johnson and the GOP are really bad at their jobs).
The so-called "Freedom Caucus" is big mad, though, because Johnson basically agreed to a continuing resolution like the one his hapless predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, worked on with Dark Brandon last year. How long will it be before the right-wing nutcases decide to give Johnson the heave-ho they gave Kev? Maybe if Mikey keeps cutting deals with Democrats, they will. They certainly aren't pursuing anything else of substance for the American people, and thanks to illnesses, car crashes and resignations, Johnson is working with a bare-bones majority of, literally, 218. What a clown show they are.
As one tweep we follow observed, "Amazing. Democrats are in the minority, but still govern the House." We cats PURR.
