There is no virtue in what McCarthy is doing.
He's proposing either a deep recession or a default and deep recession. Either option does enormous harm to US.
And he can't deliver the votes for any compromise.
It's unprecedented, unpatriotic malice.

Young people called out @Citi on its lies today in New York. There is no 'sustainable financing' when you are helping to open new oil & gas projects and when Indigenous rights are being trampled #DefundClimateChaos
How can it be that a political party can bring the country to brink of disaster for reasons that EVERYONE knows are NOT genuine?
This is the danger of bothsideism. Their position is wholly untenable and should be treated by the press as such. Not covered as political drama.
Let’s be clear what will happen if republicans blow up the economy:
Social Security stops
Medicare freezes
Veterans lose their health care
Small businesses die
Bank runs
Homebuyers locked out
Americans lose their life savings
Millions lose their jobs
A second Great Depression
Young activists had a clear message for @Citi today: diversity recruiting without ending environmental racism and while violating Indigenous rights is just more lies #DefundClimateChaos
Look, and do not turn away. Bakhmut is not just a line on a map. It was a city, full of life. Now thanks to Russia it is a smoking ruin, and who controls the rubble is not the point. This is terror that must be defeated. https://t.co/P27KxJZ6Wx
A TikToker who works in a Florida school exposes the books being removed by the state for being "inappropriate." The banned books cover topics such as hate groups, Judaism, the Holocaust, Pocahontas, African Americans in aviation, and more.
This needs to go viral.

“Our nation’s new strategy for Ukraine has shifted from “support Ukraine” to “strategic bystanding”.” On the new, morally bankrupt approach by the Australian government to almost entirely stop its assistance to #Ukraine. My latest in the @smh https://t.co/krhU1VKQTB
Remove #Russia from its seat as a permanent member of #UNSC and transfer it to #Ukraine: morality wishes it, legality requires it, History permits it and a strong public campaign could obtain it. Let’s do it! #SlavaUkraini!#UNSCseatforUkraine !

Actually, President Biden is offering to cut spending on Big Oil, Big Pharma, and all those tax cuts you’ve been giving to billionaires – But you didn’t like that.
You’d rather cut funding for food assistance, medicare, and veteran’s care.

Yesterday's flood in northern Italy, with half the annual rainfall in just 36 hours, is yet another reminder that the climate crisis is real and no one is safe. It's time for urgent action to protect our planet before it's too late. #ClimateCrisis#ItalyFloods
It cannot be said enough. You voted three times under your master Trump to raise the debt ceiling without conditions. You voted for a ginormous tax cut, benefiting the rich and corporations, and all of that meant you added $7.8 trillion to the debt, 1/4th of the whole. Monster.
One more time: you voted three times to raise the debt limit under your master Trump without preconditions. That included both spending and your ginormous tax cut for the Uber rich and corporations. Adding $7.8 trillion to the debt. You are a hypocrite and a liar.
