The end to the shutdown drama is in sight. The end to House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) political headaches is not.

... Why it matters: This caps 10 excruciating days for Johnson. At each step, he's insisted the inevitable wasn't inevitable. No one bought it. - - - Johnson spoke with Republican appropriators about drafting a "clean" three-month funding bill, Axios learned this afternoon. - - - The speaker hasn't publicly endorsed the three-month plan, which the White House and Senate Democrats always favored. - - - But he's inching toward the outcome many Senate Republicans privately said was coming: A spending bill through November that didn't include a GOP voting proposal to require proof of citizenship to vote. Johnson's six-month stopgap plus the voting legislation failed yesterday. Zoom in: Axios reported on Wednesday that Johnson has a Plan B -- but he wouldn't share it. That's still the case. - - - Into the void stepped Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.), who told reporters Thursday ...

Into the void stepped Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.), who told reporters Thursday he's starting to work on a bill that funds the government through Dec. 13 or Dec. 20.

When that idiot Qevin surrendered to a group of domestic terrorists to help him become leader, he handcuffed every future GOP speaker being beholden to sporkfoot and hoebert under the threat of being ousted with one vote.
Well just another example of the brilliance of the GQP.
Most americans don't want this firebombing drama in their daily lives.
They just want government to work for them instead of the 1%

I've seen reports that there may be a bi-partisan effort to pass a continuing resolution bill.
Republicans Defy Trump as Congress Works to Defuse Shutdown Threat sg.finance.yahoo.com
... Congressional appropriators are reportedly preparing a bipartisan government funding bill to be voted on in the House early next week, moving ahead with a plan that always appeared to be the inevitable conclusion to a potential showdown between Republicans and Democrats. Lawmakers are reportedly planning to pull together the details and text of the measure over the weekend so members can review it before a vote early next week. The bill is likely to extend current funding levels, with some tweaks, through December 13, , Roll Call reports, citing a source familiar with the talks. Democrats are reportedly looking to include $12 billion needed to plug a shortfall in veterans health care funding, plus $24 billion in additional disaster aid. Republicans told Roll Call the disaster aid would be better off if passed separately after the elections. The bipartisan legislation would defuse the threat of a potential shutdown " though it might only heighten the threat to House Speaker Mike Johnson's job. Conservatives, 14 of whom voted against Johnson's government funding plan this week, are bound to be upset when the speaker turns to Democrats to help pass a short-term spending bill. The bipartisan bill would also exclude the Save Act, a Republican measure that would require proof of citizenship to vote. Republican Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina said there'll be a "lot of disappointment" if Johnson takes that approach, Axios reports. And Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana, when asked if Johnson would face a revolt if he moved ahead with a clean three-month bill, told Axios: "I sure hope so." ...

Seems to me that Trump doesn't scare Republicans like he did before the debate. I suspect that doubts about him are getting stronger. If he loses on this he loses in Nov. and he will cease to be the most powerful person in the GQP and Republicans will become fearful of the GQP label. I think Trump's association wiextremists ia changing fron the sourve of his strength to his Achiles heel. Extremism is not gaining votes for Republicans any more; now it is costing them votes. His disastrous debate performance and his poor choice of running mates has u started his slide but his poor choice of running mates has made it worse for him. Trump seemed to forget women can and will still vote in America and Vance has managed to convince most women think that the GQP is offering them a future of pregnancy after prefnancy just like our grandmothers endured. Vance was a stupid choice because he really only appeals to one demographic and it is a shrinking one; straight, white, not college educated men. If you look at the voting population of today that is just the definition of MAGA and the future is so not described by MAGA! Definition of MAGA today is different than 2020. Then it was no more woke. Now it is rule by cranky old white men who want women in the kitchen fixing their dinner and not interupting when the men talk about politics. OMG! We have a non-white woman beating Donald Trump in debates and in polls too! So now that ass***e wants to tank the economy just so he can try to blame Biden/Harris but it is too late now. If he were to succeed now, which is doubtful, and actually shut down the government it would turn both houses of Congress and his defeat would be insured because he would get the blame. It really seems that "if you give them enough rope they will hang themselves" is playing out in real time!
