'Irresponsible and catastrophic': Democratic leader hammers GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy over omnibus opposition
Hoyer warned that if the measure fails to clear Congress and avert a government shutdown by Friday at midnight, the consequences would be"catastrophic."

I choose to believe that he understands how irresponsible and catastrophic it will be.
— Chad Pergram December 21, 2022 Under pressure from his conservative flank, McCarthy has called for a stop-gap measure to avert a government shutdown so that Republicans can negotiate a longer-term solution after they retake the House in January.
