cruz is hyper-partisan in his every gesture, always making the next merely rhetorical move. and yet this idea of passing piecemeal spending bills is a rather brilliant gambit. it forces democrats to rather than republicans to refuse to fund va or whatever it may be.  he peeled off eleanor holmes norton by threatening to fund dc, e.g. hoping they don't fund it, because i'm thinking that dc will now descend into a kind of mad-max scenario, with rolling bands of feral youth preying on members of congress.
