Senate Tires of House Chaos

“The chaos-ridden, speaker-less House is threatening to stymie a host of bipartisan legislative efforts across the Capitol — and senators are getting really tired of it,” Politico reports.

“Forget the expectations earlier this year of achieving even modest policy reforms, or passing spending bills under so-called ‘regular order.’ Senators will consider themselves lucky to escape the calendar year without a catastrophe. Among the possibilities: a shutdown and a crush of blown deadlines on expiring legislation addressing aviation law, surveillance authority and flood insurance.”
