What did the win? Looks to me like they had their fun, realized that their attacks on Musk and Trump weren’t landing and balked at shutting down the government. They did the same thing with the “laddered” CR earlier this year. They talked a good game and then eventually caved.

Man, I’m just going to let you continue being delusional.

The CR stripped out all of the Democrats nonsense and in exchange Trump didn’t get his debt ceiling increase. Only problem is that the debt ceiling request only came after they had a negotiated CR. So what did eventually pass was significantly better for Republicans.

Child Cancer Research is Democratic nonsense?

I have empathy and respect for cancer research but funding for it doesn’t belong in a bill to prevent a government shutdown. Those types of things should be in their own bill and stand on their own merit.

I can understand the Republican position that emergency funding for our farmers is a national security issue since if they can’t survive and need to sell off their land, it will be purchased by foreign entities and eventually we’ll lose control of our food supply which really is a problem. But even that should really have been in its own bill. I don’t think anyone would be dumb enough to vote to disrupt our nation’s food supply.

except the GOP hasn't and won't do 'regular order" to develop and pass bills, so I guess, screw the kids, right?

Unfortunately there is only so much money. If we give extra money for cancer research, what do you want to cut by that much to pay for it?

What do you want to cut to pay for continuous farm subsidies because Trump’s tariffs killed their soybean market?

Funny how this question never gets asked when the issue is corporate tax cuts, or farm subsidies, or defense spending.

The kids with cancer get their money, thanks to Tim Kaine getting Rand Paul to drop his objection to the bill (for those new to the legislative process, it just takes one Senator to essentially stop a bill)

Also, this was Jennifer Wexton's bill and it's nice they could get it passed as she's retiring due to her own health issues.

They should do this for RFK too.

Looking after farmers is looking after our food supply. We can’t let our farms be sold off to foreign entities. It’s already happening in countries like Australia (e.g. their dairy farms are being sold off to the Chinese to create their baby formula) and it’s a really dangerous path.

So farmers are really important, but kids with cancer can do get f’d. MAGA.

Most American farmers are growing cash crops that get exported. So no, it is pandering.

Democrats don't control the House. Stop blaming them for the shortcomings of the GOP.

Pretty sure Republicans and Democrats shouldn't be in control of anything at this point.

More faux false equivalences. Keep on with it, showing ignorance is a win, right?

I'd rather Jeffrey Epstein babysit my children than Jeffrey Dahmer but in a normal world, we aren't forced to make that choice. Any level of awfulness is still awful. Think. Read.

Do your own research, amirite?

Cancer research funding passed!!

This was a standalone bill languishing in the Senate since spring. When it got dropped from CR Tim Kaine introduced it in Senate and it passed then just pass House!!

Massie, Chip Roy and 2 other s h ! t heads voted no.

So Dems got most of what they wanted and Trump lost his debt ceiling demand and is looking super beta.

That’s only one of the five pieces of legislation funding pediatric cancer research that were in the original CR, but yay, I guess.

Anyone know if the guys on the pile after September 11 still have their health benefits?
