“This is a hostage situation.
This is a reckless cabal that ran up the bill and now refuses to pay it.
This is a sign of just how broken our politics are.
The world looks on with disbelief…
…and let’s be clear before we get to the end game: This never should have happened. And the process is rotten no matter what transpires.”

Republicans already voted to extend the borrowing powers. It is foolish to talk about this as them holding anything hostage since they have already given that up and voted not to hold hostage.
Democrats voted to make us face this situation when they pass their appropriation legislation. They really need to be held accountable for that. It's next level foolish to blame Republicans for number one the thing the Democrats did and number two the things that Republicans have already voted to fix.
