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.

Yep, they did

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.


And if private industry doesn't because there isn't a big enough profit/market, then screw those kids. Got it.

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


LOL, back the blue or something, right MAGAs?

That is what this was all about. Musk didn’t want it and the GOP was willing to screw over the whole country to put his interests first.

Yes, you got it.

If government taxes and doles out money from ivory towers based on their feelings, WHO says they are making the best decisions? You?

Nope.

Clearly Musk’s financials are a top priority for our country. Great job GOP (also shout out to those who elected them). /s

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

You ain't seen nothing, yet.


What part was the nonsense?

Are these the new talking points? Because previous to the election you were worried about the debt.

Without the China equipment payments, do they really think it will pass?

It’s a Democratic shutdown. Only 2 Democrats voted for the most recent bill. The vast majority of Republicans voted for it.

I’d love to hear one Congressional Democrat state what in the most recent bill they opposed so vehemently. Bueller? Bueller?

6 bipartisan policies taken out of the spending bill after Musk torched it --

(My understanding, per aides, is these are also out of what's about to be voted on)

1. Provision aimed at ensuring food stamps are replenished for Americans whose benefits are stolen. Possibly as many as 300K affected, per CBPP

2. A series of changes to the operations of pharmacy benefit managers — middlemen in the medicine business that negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. (EG attempt to end “spread pricing,” where PBMs charge a health plan more for a drug than what they pay to the pharmacies that dispense it.)

3. Pay hikes for members of Congress -- 4% or so increases

4. Transferring control of the land in Washington, D.C., where RFK Stadium sits to the District. (No new funds here)

5. Cruz/Klobuchar bill aimed at cracking down on revenge porn/deepfakes

6. New and expanded restrictions on U.S. investments in China

Hahahahahahahahahahahahah!

No.


You see, there are 219 Republicans and only 211 Democrats in the current House. If the Republicans really wanted to pass something, they can, with NO Democratic support. So, why is it that the Republicans can't even get members of their own party on board with a bill that they did not negotiate with the Democrats? And why should the Democrats support a bill in which that they have zero input?


I don't get why this is so hard for people to understand??? Do you truly not understand basic math and how the Dems are not needed to pass this CR? It's mind blowing to me. I always thought DCUMers were some of the brightest. Hmmmm


These are the same people that voted for Trump and Biden. Bright? I think not.


And who did you vote for oh brilliant one?


Not the 80 year old people. I somehow found enough common sense to realize an 80 year old POTUS would be a very bad idea. How about you?


So the 78 year old?
