"Does that mean you just don't want to govern?" House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said of GOP holdouts who are against passing a short-term measure to keep the government open.
Like I said, it’s theater. He doesn’t actually want to avoid a shutdown, he just wants to avoid blame for the shutdown. So he’s hoping to pass this bill on purely partisan lines and then, with the help of the right-wing propaganda ecosystem, blame Senate Democrats for not passing the House GOP’s bill and pretend the Senate’s bipartisan bill never existed when the GOP extremists get the shutdown they’ve manufactured.

Hopefully senate R’s vote against it too. So far they’ve been pretty vocally against the house’s approach. Not holding my breath though.
They’ll vote for it knowing it won’t pass. It’ll just help pass the blame game.
Dems should let it pass for shits and giggles.
