US House passes bipartisan bill to avoid government shutdown
Time remains short to avoid the federal government's fourth partial shutdown in a decade, which will begin at 12:01 a.m. ET on Sunday unless the Democratic-majority Senate passes the bill and President Joe Biden signs it into law in time.

The republicans looked at the polling numbers and writing on the wall and saw this was not going to win them any support from people they didn’t already have support from…
But there is a hard line group that is probably flipping their shit right now because they don’t care, they just want to burn everything down. I don’t suspect the republican’s current coalition can survive this kind of internal disagreement for long
I don't know. Seems like it's been sustainable for a while. Is this not just an extension of the Tea Party? It's been working for them.
What doesn't seem sustainable to me is the Repubican party caucus. The right is incensed that McCarthy "caved to the Democrats". I suspect a motion to vacate will be raised.
To be fair, the Republicans as a whole are still pretty united, this is just the Freedom Caucus people trying to throw around their brand of extra strength crazy.
McCarthy made a deal with the devil to win them over to get made Speaker, and they are going to taunt him with that every chance they get. He gets what he deserves from that alliance, which is fine by me.
