Rep. Moskowitz: Maybe GOP Wants Govt Shutdown So Sofa Prices Fall
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) was asked on the MeidasTouch podcast what on earth House Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to accomplish by threatening to shut down the federal government just before the election.
It’s a good question. As Politico reported Wednesday, the GOP appears to be in total disarray as MAGA Mike tries to do Donald Trump’s bidding by trying to play shutdown shenanigans with a spending package tied to voter suppression. The bill requires proof of citizenship to vote and, as the Brennan Center for Justice explained, it would prevent millions of citizens from voting. “The current protections against noncitizen voting are effective: ballots cast by noncitizens are vanishingly rare,” the Brennan Center noted.
