I was reading a House Dem staffer speculating that the continuing resolution that McCarthy offered was designed to get Dems to vote no so the GOP could blame the shutdown on Dems. When Dems voted for it the whole plan blew up and it ultimately cost McCarthy his job.

Not sure that's what happened, but it's plausible given the timing of the surprise CR.
