Where we are. This is the HOUSE GOP PLAN:

- short-term CR (March)
- disaster and farm aid

That will go as one bill (we don’t know what else may be in) - in attempted suspension vote TONIGHT, which needs 2/3. So Dems.

Those were the major spending items in the prior agreement was, so I suspect they took out the policy riders, such as the China investment restriction, to appease Musk.

Probably not. They tried appearing Musk and it didn't work. Now they are trying to fund the government and do their jobs. For a 2/3 vote, they need everything in there. Everything but the debt ceiling.

Rep. Massie says they're doing it all together today (instead of as separate bills) because Jeffries told Johnson the Dems will help him out. Wonder what else the Dems will demand be put back in.

They should've just voted on the first plan. What ridiculousness.

It’s simpler than that. Republicans have a majority in the House; they don’t even have to reach out. Then could get a bill House Republicans agreed on and then blamed the Senate and POTUS. But no, they are too chaotic for that’s

Elections have consequences. The next time your party suggests that nominating an elderly person is a great idea, think back to this Trump/Biden mess and say "no thank you".

Equating Trump and Biden is a fools errand.

Two elderly 21st century presidents that were historically unpopular and terrible leaders. I'd day they have a lot in common. Only difference is Trump has zero integrity while Biden has a little. Not equal but they are in a class of awful presidents by themselves.

I would argue that Biden had one of the most consequential presidencies in the modern era. Despite all the right wing BS, he righted the ship after COVID and left the strongest economy in the world; he got substantial green infrastructure investments; started the process of getting manufacturing back and restablished the US as a global leader on foreign policy.

Those are all facts.

Yes, thanks Biden for funding the ongoing wars with no end game, the 40% approval rating, and screwing the country by gifting the 2024 election to the even more unfit Trump with your pea-brain shenanigans. Very consequential indeed. Thank Biden for giving us Trump during these tumultuous next four years.

What wars are the US engaged in?

(and before you answer, Assad is gone from Syria and russia's economy is teetering and will take Iran with them if/when they fall. That would also get them out of Ukraine)

It isn't Biden's fault that too many uneducated voters fell from Trump's BS.

I live in the one of the highest zip code in NJ. According to census data my area has highly educated households and election data show Trump did really well here.

The idea that Trump voters are uneducated needs to stop. I voted for Kamala so I am not Trump fun. The reason why we seem to keep losing is because we are refusing to acknowledge that some his voters are similar to YOU

It’s a well documented fact. Obviously not true for every person, but the political divide is now by education level.

Blame or credit?

I give Trump/Vance/Elon credit for stopping the nonsense bills.

Why do you oppose funding for pediatric cancer research?

[Anonymous]

Because the government should not be doing that. Private industry should.

With government, it'll take ten times as long to find any cures with their committees and group hugs. Just get the F out of the way.

Yeah, they just kept all those flood victim MAGAs in Appalachia from getting emergency funding since many of still living in tents in the middle of winter. Really owning those libs.

Other lawmakers exiting the [Republican] session said they expected a one vote on a government funding package, disaster relief and payments to farmers, minus a debt ceiling increase that caused Republicans to oppose a similar bill on Thursday.

How is this different than the previous compromise bill that Musk scuttled?

I bet it doesn't include the restrictions on investments in China that Musk was worried about.

It better include that.

Lawler just said the China restrictions were removed from the new CR along with the removal of healthcare aid for 911 responders
