| There is no such thing as "expunging an impeachment" - another fabricated GOP action. |

“House lawmakers left town for six weeks on Thursday, a day earlier than scheduled, and it’s no mystery why. They passed only one of their 12 government funding measures amid an ugly floor fight, then leadership had to pull another (supposedly one of the less controversial spending bills) due to party infighting over abortion riders and cuts.
As we predicted back in June, lawmakers are openly talking about a short-term fix — known as a continuing resolution or a CR — to keep the government’s lights on. Then, of course, they’ll just have some more time to deal with the same exact problems. “I think it’s gonna be a challenge to get the two bills married,” said Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.). “And we may have to go through some CRs. I’d rather see us do short-term CRs than shut the government down.” Why it matters: Passing bills in the respective chambers was supposed to be the easier part. It only gets more difficult when the House and Senate have to merge their bills. Now, they have a ton of work to do in September, very little time to do it, and a government shutdown hanging over it all. They can pass a short-term patch, but they’ll have to make sure House conservatives are on board — hardly a given. Spending leaders are already predicting chaos. “I have been talking to our members about what’s going to be a brutal September,” top Democrat on Appropriations Rep. Rosa DeLauro (Conn.) told us. “I don’t know where these folks are going to come out.” “I don’t have much hope here,” echoed Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.). House Republicans, he said, “couldn’t run a one-car funeral, honestly.” https://www.politico.com/newsletters/huddle/2023/07/28/more-on-mcconnell-and-signs-of-a-terrible-september-00108712?nname=huddle&nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b4be0000&nrid=0000014c-2414-d9dd-a5ec-34bc650e0000&nlid=630309 |

70% not authorized? WTF is she yammering about? If the bills pass, it's authorized. What specific 70% of the budget is she referring to that allegedly is "not authorized?" She sounds a bit wacky. And that's been reinforced in some of the weird jackhammer floor speeches of hers I've seen as well. |

The one job the House has is to appropriate funds to run the government. And it cannot accomplish it.
They need to learn to negotiate and stop their pointless pontification. They should all be booted out. I’m tired of underwriting their salaries, staffs, and other perks so they can laze about. |

The only spending bill that the House has authorized is for DOD. And that bill is DOA in the Senate. |
