Bipartisan pause ends with tenor of GOP clashes at odds with governing
The article notes Congress extended funding through December 11, buying time for a long term budget deal while Speaker Boehner exits. It contrasts Boehner's pragmatism with Cruz and Republicans pursuing purity, warning of continued gridlock and political hostility within the party. Ted Cruz backs defunding Planned Parenthood, criticizing Democratic opposition and Senate leadership. The piece argues Boehner’s resignation won’t end dysfunction, and labels Cruz as pursuing ideological purity at odds with governing realities.
