Now that the other shoe has dropped, I fear a long shutdown. The other shoe is the election of a replacement representative from Arizona. The Speaker is refusing to seat her because the Govt. is shut down. She also becomes the needed signer on the petition to release all of the Epstein files. Look, the GOP has the House, Senate, and White House. They could end the shutdown in a New York second. And don't give me the BS about the "nuclear option" and the GOP's desire to stay away from it. It was used last month to end a fillibuster. And it could be used now. I have become quite interested in what those files contain. Eventually they will come out.....
