Congress returns to Washington Tuesday with a government shutdown less than five days away and seemingly no plan to avoid it.
That wasn't supposed to be the case.
It has been less than three months since House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., reached an agreement with President Biden that set spending levels for the year. That agreement was part of a bipartisan debt limit package that overwhelmingly passed the House in a 343-117 vote.

Mitch needs to knock a dew heads, at least two of them female.
-- Mitch? Mitch McConnell? The guy who glitches like every other day? No dude needs to retire along with the rest of the Silent Gen folks (in both parties).
