The U.S. debt limit was near its peak
The House voted on a debt deal sleek
Jason Osborne said, "It's a win!"
It seems like a way to patch up a rift
This bill puts the nation on solid ground - a gift

Gaetz: Passing debt deal without Republican majority would ‘likely trigger an immediate motion’ to oust McCarthy
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said on Tuesday that passing a debt deal without a Republican majority in the House would trigger an “immediate” motion to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). “If a majority of Republicans are against a piece of legislation and you use Democrats to pass it, that would immediately be a black letter…

David Frum noted; Both sides could plausibly claim a win of some sort: “McCarthy wanted a win on principle: use of the debt ceiling as a weapon. Beyond that, his caucus could not agree on specific demands. Biden yielded on the principle, which opened the way to prevail on the substance. Each got what he most wanted.”

Debt Deal Raises Military Spending & OKs WV Pipeline While Introducing Work Rules for Food Stamps
President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy are urging lawmakers to support a deal to suspend the debt ceiling until January 1, 2025, in order to prevent the United States from defaulting on its debt for the first time in history. The two leaders reached a tentative agreement over the Memorial Day long weekend, but it must still be approved by Congress before a June 5 deadline, when the government is expected to run out of money to pay its bills. Both progressive lawmakers and members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus have expressed some opposition to the deal, which calls for nondefense discretionary spending to remain mostly flat while boosting military spending by about 3%. New work requirements would be established for some recipients of federal aid programs, and it cuts funding to the IRS and lifts a moratorium on student loan payments in place since the pandemic. The deal also speeds up the approval and construction of the proposed $6.6 billion Mountain Valley Pipeline in Virginia and West Virginia. We speak with Lindsay Owens, executive director of the Groundwork Collaborative and a former policy adviser to Senator Elizabeth Warren.
