[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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[/quote]

There is no reason to remove the RFK bill from this. What is the GOP justification of this?[/quote]
