Axios - Some House Republicans privately expect a spending fight to trigger a government shutdown in October, with one member saying they "wouldn't be making any plans" for that month, Axios' Juliegrace Brufke reports. Speaker McCarthy's ranks include members who are skeptical he can pull off another survival move by the end of September — with worker furloughs and shuttered federal services at stake. House conservatives oppose the use of an "omnibus" to package all 12 must-pass appropriations bills together. But lawmakers are pessimistic about the odds of passing the bills individually by Sept. 30...Congress can extend the existing budget with a continuing resolution to give members more time to hash out a deal.

Once you decide as a political party that governing is too hard to do, then it seems easier to just blow it up. A better ideas is that if you do not want to govern in the public interest, get the hell out of Dodge.
