House GOP tanks its own funding bill, edging closer to shutdown
A band of House conservatives Friday voted down a GOP bill to avoid a government shutdown.
The vote marked a significant — and embarrassing — defeat for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as a shutdown this weekend appears increasingly inevitable.



We’re now heading toward the 7th shutdown in the last 3 decades, literally ALL of which were at the hands of a Republican House majority.

Fundamentally unfit to govern. - Brian Tyler Cohen

Karma, Visit Kevin, Please.
CNN anchor Sara Sidner was stunned by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy’s “hard turn” from a tribute to the late Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-NY) to rants about the government shutdown and the impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden.
