For starters, I did.

It’s not like they can just shut down the government any time they want.

Sure, but they could have done this in May, and they decided to give Donald license to do another summer of fascism AND helped ease the passage of the BBB, after spending the first four months of the year destroying the country. Again, I will give them credit when they do something meaningful.

They're only acting now out of self-interest and nothing else. Definitely glad to see them doing the bare minimum even if it's for selfish reasons, but let's be clear, this is the bare minimum.

You agree they can't shut the government down any time they want, and then you want them to do exactly that...
