Addressing critical issues like spending, inflation, and border security is crucial for changing the direction of the country and tackling the debt crisis.

The use of a clean CR to temporarily keep the government open is a subject of debate, with some seeing it as an opportunity to pass critical policies and others concerned about potential compromise.

As we head into the weekend of budget brinksmanship, it all boils down to one point: Will Republicans finally care about ending the federal shutdown of our life, liberty, and economy more than they fear a temporary federal shutdown?

He updates us on the progress of the floor action, the contours of the debate, and the upcoming legislative maneuvering. I also provide the proper framing and messaging of any government shutdown and why any sane Republican should not fear it.
