When the Democrats come to save McCarthy from his own extreme caucus who want to crash the economy in order to own the libs, do you think ANY major media outlets will get their headlines right?

“Democrats just saved the economy from Republican hostage takers”

Is the only factually accurate version.

When there’s no accountability for sedition, Freedom Caucus members, most of whom voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, will continue to act lawless & entitled. This is the sentiment from many House Republicans: If Speaker’s negotiators bring back in substance a clean debt limit increase… one so large that it even protects Biden from the issue in the presidential…, it’s war. -Rep Dan Bishop #GOPDefault

Sec Yellen means well, but she shouldn’t have given McCarthy & the obstructionist/seditious Republicans more time. They fundamentally don't believe in the USG, esp. the social safety net, the Fed & the IRS. There’s no guarantee they won’t cause a default with a few more days, it's likely their intent. US will default on June 5 if debt limit not raised, Treasury says. #GOPDefault

U.S. will default on June 5 if debt limit not raised, Treasury says

Even if Congressional Republicans and the White House reach an agreement to avert catastrophic default soon, they need time to put it into action.

Where were YOU when the #DebtCeiling was raised 3xs for Trump with no fight to curb inflation, stop reckless spending, make our economy stronger, or end our dependence on China? 🤡

Kevin McCarthy on Twitter

“I’m staying in DC to fight for an agreement that’s worthy of the American people—for as long as it takes. I will continue the fight to curb inflation, stop reckless spending, make our economy stronger, and end our dependence on China.”

McCarthy losing his speakership is good news, but will it trigger a default? The best of both worlds: he loses it & no default. Repealing $80B in new IRS funding IS NOT NEGOTIABLE. #GOPDefault #RepublicanFraud They want the TSY Sec to justify her default timeline +HSE to pass leg. extending the debt limit by one month for more time to pressure the WH into accepting all🚨of their demands. 35 Freedom Caucus Members Demand McCarthy Expand Debt Limit Negotiations With Biden-:

First #Republicans take hostages with their poison pill #DebtCeiling bill. Then they walk out of negotiations. Now they’re leaving town. Their behavior shows they don’t care if America goes into default (indeed, it looks like they’re trying to make it happen). This could not be more clearly the #RepublicanDefault or #GOPDefault https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/25/politics/debt-limit-talks-thursday/index.html

Rep Casar: I'm standing here on the Republican side of the aisle not because I'm a Republican, I'm a Democrat, but I want the American people to see that there isn't any Republicans in the seats here behind me on the eve of our default. Where are the Republicans? 12:03 PM 5/25/23
Republicans aren't legitimate lawmakers, they've gone home for the weekend while the debt ceiling is in limbo bc of Republican demands. #GOPDefault #RepublicanFraud

Seniors nationwide are on the front lines of the fight to raise the debt ceiling, bc if the USG can’t make a June 2 payment slated for SS recipients, the oldest beneficiaries — those over 88 — & people with disabilities will be the first to suffer. Roughly $98B worth of benefits, incl. MDCR, MDCD, & military & civil retirement payments, are scheduled to go out in the first two days of June-: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/05/24/social-security-payments-debt-ceiling-fear/
U.S. debt default could hit Social Security payments first

The timing of an early June default threatens to hurt the country’s oldest and poorest Social Security recipients.
