Mike Johnson’s Plan B went down in flames, and the government may shut down. *yawn* Just another Thursday in the crash & burn Capital. But, the Superman trailer makes me want to Look Up…
It's the same drama and theater every time they try to pass a budget or extend government operations. The DC Swamp wants to draw attention to itself so that the public thinks they are actually doing their jobs and working for the good of the country.
Since after the Civil War when holding congressional meetings became more of a regular "event", they have worked explicitly for themselves. The country be damned. That 1,570 page monstrosity tells the tale, even though it was nixed. It will be back and thicker than ever.

Agree—this is all kabuki theatre. There’s zero reason this shouldn’t have already been done, except the Powers That Be want it like this.
