Either the debt ceiling will be raised and things will be fine, or else the debt ceiling will be ignored through one means or another and Republicans will be able to sue and lose if they want to. But there’s no universe in which the country defaults or they win concessions. — PolitiTweet.org

I think it’s important for Democrats to state clearly that no mistake was made related to the debt ceiling because Republicans have no leverage related to the debt ceiling. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats had a good legislative term in 2022 but not passing a debt ceiling increase could be an RBG-not-retiring magnitude blunder.
