The GOP is openly vowing debt limit extortion.
GOP Sen. John Thune flatly declared this week that if Republicans withhold support for raising the debt limit — which would threaten default and economic disaster — it could increase pressure on Democrats to “deliver” on raising the Social Security retirement age. This is ominous coming from the Senate GOP whip.
Why do we even have this charade of a #DebtCeiling ?
Act now, Democrats, and #AbolishTheDebtLimit during the #lameducksession
It's the last chance to make policy changes before the #MagaCircus political theater begins
