“House Republicans are expected to bypass mounting GOP opposition to a spending bill to keep the government running into December by using a procedural floor move that would rely heavily on Democrats to pass the legislation and avoid a government shutdown,” CNN reports. “The House Rules Committee stripped the government spending bill from consideration Monday night, forcing House GOP leadership to tee up the spending bill under a procedure known as suspension of the rules, which requires a two-thirds majority vote to pass.” “Relying on Democrats to overcome their narrow, divided majority and keep the government open has been a regular occurrence for Republicans this Congress, and was the exact maneuver that got former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ousted from his job.”

    Donald Trump's lies are so egregious that MAGA GOP surrogates going on TV have come up with a blanket denial of his antics by saying they were "taken out of context," no matter what he says. We watched the debate live. He said what he said. This is just pathetic excuse-making.
