Why Dems may shut down gov't, don't shrug off failed bombings and other commentary
Briefly

As the March 14 deadline for the current stopgap spending measure approaches, talks between the two parties remain stagnant, according to Ed Kilgore from New York magazine. With significant differences in spending proposals, a government shutdown seems imminent unless an agreement can be reached. Additionally, there is pressure on Senate Democrats from constituents who are increasingly frustrated with inaction. Concurrently, international tensions rise as a failed bombing attempt linked to Iran calls for a strong response to deter future attacks on Israel.
Don't bet on a deal to avoid a government shutdown when the current stopgap spending measure expires on March 14, warns New York magazine's Ed Kilgore.
Passively watching the whole crazy show looks bad for Dems in Congress, whose constituents are frantic for them to do something.
If true, this is not merely a localized terror attack - it is part of a broader strategy by Iran to destabilize Israel through its proxies.
A powerful, unambiguous response is not just necessary for deterrence - it is the only way to ensure that such an attack never comes close to succeeding again.
