A full-blown government shutdown may be coming, if reported rumors circulating among top Republican lawmakers are true.

In the power centers amongst the House of Representatives, there is chatter about a temporary stoppage of funding that could throw a wrench in the federal budget, according to a new Axios report.

“People are predicting a shutdown,” one GOP lawmaker confided to the news outlet. “Even if it’s just for a few days.”

Axios learned a subcommittee chair told a fellow House GOP member that members are either “close to reaching a deal or it’s about to blow up.”

The swirling rumors come months after Congress fended off a similar threat of a government shutdown passing a bill with an 87-11 total to back a temporary funding package.

    I’m planning out a tour of national parks this summer and I swear, if they fuck up my trip, I’m going to spend that time vandalizing country clubs in freedom caucus districts. I don’t care if I have to buy 17 dogs to help me, there will be some sort of shit in every hole.
