Even with as patently cruel and destructive as they've shown themselves to be recently, it's still sort of astonishing the lengths the Republicans will go to to deny poor people healthcare.

"We will not negotiate with you until you give us what we want and then you have 0 leverage and we can just laugh at you."
They REALLY don't want to give healthcare subsidies to poor folks, do they?
But you don't understand. An illegal immigrant might get free healthcare!! (hint: they won't, but fuck everyone else anyway)
Correct
“This is literally our only option to distract from the Epstein files at this point.”
Damn. A win win for them. Hold out on giving healthcare to those in need and fire government employees in the meantime.
They were going to fire those govt employees anyway, let's not kid ourselves. They demonstrated that they were capable of gutting critical govt agencies while the govt was still open, they didn't need a shutdown.
Triple win, they can delay the vote to release the Epstein files as long as they want now.
Not wanting to release the Epstein files. Is that because HE is in those files as well as president felon?
They're not reconvening, this is it. Just more lazy people mooching off Americans like they've always projected about 😏
Could even go on for a few months, which is approximately the age of child that Donald Trump likes to fuck.
He looks like he got his wish to become a real boy.
