I hate the idea of compromising at all on civil rights, but dropping the name “DEI” to let the segregationists feel like they got a win while just continuing to do all the same work under a different name is probably the best we can hope for from a for profit entity

A shutdown would just help them do it faster.

If this were true GOP lawmakers would be pushing for a shutdown themselves.

I think the most honest answer is nobody knows what would happen after a shutdown with this administration because they’ve just been making up federal law as they go this whole time anyway, but really the fact that Schumer and Fetterman want this bill to pass while Sanders Warren and AOC want it to fail should be all you need to know to know.
