#lameducksession — Public Fediverse posts

The GOP is openly vowing debt limit extortion.
GOP Sen. John Thune flatly declared this week that if Republicans withhold support for raising the debt limit — which would threaten default and economic disaster — it could increase pressure on Democrats to “deliver” on raising the Social Security retirement age.
