that s the reality of anything a democrat touches. republicans are going to say no. mccarthy is going to lose a lot of votes, but looks like he s on the path to get a majority of his republican conference. i think we can talk about the contours of this deal in a second, but i think it is i would hazard to say that i think we should be careful about saying this is small deal because the catastrophe that was on the horizon, which by the way like june 5th is the deadline, threatening the full faith and credit of the united states, i mean there will be repercussions for the degree to which we edged to the very end of the runway, if you will, right? michelle, i mean there are people overseas and in this country that are not really actually worried about whether america can continue to just be fully functional as a democracy, and that is due in no small part to the gamesmanship that the republican party wanted to play ipcongress. right. i was worried, i was quite
