The following tweets by the head of the Virginia GOP and the Virginia Democratic Party really illustrate where the two parties’ heads are at right now. As the Virginia Dems put it:
“So we’re all on the same page—if the government shuts down, thousands of Virginians will not be paid over the holidays, and some will still be forced to work. The Virginia GOP thinks that playing with Virginians’ paychecks so billionaires can get richer is totally fine.”
Of course, the Virginia GOP is the party of Donald Trump, Hung Cao, Bob Good, John McGuire, Ben Cline, Amanda Chase, a MAGA-pilled Glenn Youngkin, a Ken Cuccinelli impersonator in Jason Miyares, etc, etc., so what else would you expect?
Excellent thread by Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-VA04) on what a Musk/House GOP government shutdown would mean for Virginia as we head into the holidays….
