    Like avoiding a government shut down and aid to Ukraine?

    Like bringing to a floor vote everything Dems want to have a vote on.

      They’re already sending letters saying to give it too McHenry in 15-day increments to get a budget/another round of CR’s and aid to Ukraine handled. I don’t think it’ll be everything the dems want but it also won’t be McHenry can bring anything he wants to the floor.
