I've said this before but Biden's best debt ceiling play is to take the situation as an opportunity.

If the GOP is leaving him with no choice but to illegally stop some government payments, he has no choice but to prioritize some over others. Figure out which payments being withheld will cause the most acute pain to GOP constituencies and exclusively start with those.

They will probably sue the Biden administration and probably win in the rigged courts but feels like a "there's no method for enforcing this besides impeaching Biden" situation to me! If they threaten to jail agency heads or something like that for defying court orders, Biden can promise to pardon them.
