This reads like Republicans trying to shift blame from themselves, for shutting down the House and preventing any budget from passing, to Democrats for waiting until the House gets its shit together and can negotiate.

Yep, this is transparent blame-shifting. There’s no point in debating a spending bill that doesn’t exist and the GOP just ousted their own Speaker, and there’s no reason not to vote on unrelated matters while they wait for the House to get their shit together.

So, Scott et al are pretending they can pass a budget without the House?
Without the house that the GOP beheaded.
Let the attack on the United States, from the inside continue. We know who the enemy is, we should be taking them out in the most humane way possible maybe

If you wonder why, let’s see how well this comment ages in 3 months or so.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The senators, however, pledged to consider the spending bills “expeditiously” if Schumer commits to a plan for passing them in an orderly way and with an open amendment process.

Republicans on Wednesday expressed frustration over Schumer’s decision not to bring a spending bill to the floor this week before senators leave for the Columbus Day recess.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), the vice chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said she was puzzled why Schumer instead scheduled votes on noncontroversial nominees this week.
“We had 45 days from Saturday to fund the government on an ongoing basis, and the majority leader has chosen to send the members of the Senate home for the next two weeks.
“There is no more important work for the Senate during this time than debating, amending and passing appropriations bills without resorting to a giant package dumped on the conference right before the December holiday,” they wrote.
