With nine days left before the Nov. 17 deadline, neither the House nor the Senate have settled on a path forward, and Speaker Mike Johnson is considering an array of GOP ideas.
But the MAGA House Republicans DO want a Government shutdown. We must face that basic fact. They are anti-government, so a government shutdown is exactly what they want. We must find a way to make a shutdown cost them something which they find important, or they will never try to work out a solution.
That definitely doesn’t seem like a necessary every day program that needs funding during a shutdown. It can surely wait for Congress to do their job and just run a backlog to go through once they are funded again.
These politicians don’t have any qualms about programs for food, housing, and healthcare with years long backlogs, a boomstick can wait.

Shut down the FFL background check hotline.

Pretty sure if it’s down, the FFLs can complete it after a small wait, so that could backfire
