On Wednesday evening the House finally passed debt ceiling legislation — over the heads of the members of the Freedom Caucus, who threatened "a reckoning" for Speaker Kevin McCarthy because he compromised with Democrats, and over the heads of some progressives who felt the bill sold them out.
While compromise has often been the key to our democracy, for some today it is as popular as Marjorie Taylor Greene banging the gavel and asking for decorum in the House — it gets a lot of laughs, but nobody takes it seriously.
