Here's a snippet:
"This leaves until Nov. 17 for Republicans to pick a new speaker, approve 12 spending bills, and reach agreement with the Senate on the bills to again avoid a harmful and wasteful government shutdown..."
"This is the Republicans' civil war, not a Democratic issue for us to resolve," [Rick Larsen] said.
Even with the distraction of Republicans having to elect a new speaker, Larsen said passing all 12 appropriations bills can be done before the mid-November deadline. Even before the vote to depose McCarthy, two of the appropriation bills were on the House schedule for a floor vote and could be taken up Thursday. More bills, two a week, are expected to follow.
"It's all doable," Larsen said."
Rick will be in touch with updates, in the meantime, take a moment to read the editorial today. [[link removed]]
More soon,
Team Rick
