This leaves me less sanguine than earlier reports. This sounds like more delaying bullshit. Mitch has this right.

“You know, it feels like Speaker Johnson makes up his strategy one or two days at a time. So it’s really hard to know what the next step is,” said Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut. “Speaker Johnson doesn’t need to make up a new plan. He has a bill that’s already passed the Senate that the president says he will sign that he knows has the votes right now in the House. Just call that bill up for a vote.”

So true! This is just insane, although in truth many such things happen in the congress these days. There is a limit to how much of this nonsense the country and the world can tolerate/survive. We seem to be seeking that limit.
