“My advice is, ‘Go sit down with Hakeem Jeffries.’ If he’s got a solid majority of his caucus. Why wouldn’t he? This is the tail wagging the dog. That’s not the way to do it.” — Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), quoted by the New York Times, on the House GOP’s inability to govern.
House Republican leadership is sending members home for the week, after a series of failed attempts to make progress on government funding, Punchbowl News reports.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) filed cloture on a bill that could be a vehicle for a short term funding bill next week. ---Alan
And a fourth: Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) told CNN that if the House GOP doesn’t pass a short-term spending bill — which looks likely at this point — he will sign a discharge petition and join forces with Democrats to try to pass one. ----Alan
Got a batch of mail via my good neighbor helper bee yesterday, one of which was a birthday card signed by the banker girls and boys. Can't remember getting any such from them prior, and I was, to say the least, touched. Nice place to live I picked when choice making 25 or so years ago.
Glad to hear it was a good choice. I'm still in love with the location Penny and I picked 52 years atgo, although I may be changing local residence in a few years.
We like our digs too. In fact, we're hopeful we'll never need to move, as Vermont is working on ways to keep elderly folks in their own homes and send aides out to them. I guess we'll see how long we can do that, but there are a good number of people here that live in their own homes until they need Hospice and then Respite House. That entity is a solidly good place to go when needed, because it takes the caregiving pressure off the family in a person's final days, and allows pain medication that could be vital. I also like that it gives you a "front crew" to keep unwanted visitors out.
