The GOP most likely will fail in its "rock-bottom, de minimis test of governance. They can't agree with each other much less lead a nation as diverse as ours.
Current funding for the Department of Homeland Security expires this Friday, thanks entirely to a ridiculous budget scheme congressional Republicans cooked up for themselves. John Harwood noted last week that avoiding a shutdown is a “rock-bottom, de minimis test of GOP governance,” and yet, it’s a test the party may very well fail.
“It’s absurd that we’re even having this conversation about Congress’ inability to fund Homeland Security in these challenging times,” DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said during one of his five Sunday show appearances yesterday. He added that he hopes someone in Congress “will exercise some leadership.”
