Update (2300ET): Hours after the House passed the debt ceiling bill, Axios reports that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) gave Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) secret concessions to boost spending on Democratic districts in the form of "community project funding" in exchange for their votes earlier this evening, according to two senior lawmakers.
One lawmaker said the deal boosts earmarks to Democrats to bring them "closer to parity" with what Republicans receive in such funds in the GOP-led House. -Axios
McCarthy has told reporters that he didn't cut any deals to supply the Democratic votes.

This country is no longer worth saving in my mind, due to the fact that we have leadership that if they lived in a trailer park, would be avoided.
What a perverse time to be alive. When good and evil have more or less switched sides. Where you gotta do something stupid to be smart. It’s pointless to think that this country is going to turn itself around with the same band of traitors running things along with their permanent Washington counterparts. Notice Tucker Carlson has disappeared?
