Rs vote yes so that they can vote no next week
news at 11
no kidding
they voted for a temp rules change allowing a bare majority to vote for averting the debt limit.
That way Ds can pass it next week without them but they can claim to have voted no on raising the debt limit.

Why do they *want* to do that?

They want it weaponized
"Behind the high-stakes hostage standoff is a GOP desire to weaponize the issue politically"

a better way to cover this is "despite the GOP wanting to weaponize the debt limit, Congress will avert a crisis by bilateral agreement"

We don’t want to close everything down and we don’t want to close schools. So get vaccinated and do responsible things indoors.

(Mask because it makes sense, and upgrade your mask if you can,. Oh, and improve ventilation. And stay home/get tested if you are sick)

we have a window but given how fast Omicron spreads, it won't stay open forever

PS 'endemic' is not a magic charm that obviates illness because you said it out loud. Nor is 'natural immunity'. Hope is not a plan.

A 'milder'* omicron that spreads is potentially not good.
