BREAKING: Trump's Rescissions Package Approved by Congress, 216-213
It’s finally passed and heading for President Trump's desk for signature. The recissions package has made it over the finish line in a 216-213 vote in the House. It had to be bounced back from the Senate, which passed it on a 51-48 vote, as the upper chamber had made slight adjustments to it during the vote-a-rama process. The GOP has slim majorities in Congress, but they’re getting the Trump agenda through.
My Comment: It is a start, but we need a lot more.

It’s not easy, the infighting is annoying, and Republicans who’d rather get attention than work to get Trump’s bills through are peak irritation. Before this vote, House Republicans bungled a bill providing regulations on cryptocurrency. That wasted 36 hours of appropriation time, and that’s with this rescissions package in the backdrop —a slate of cuts totaling around $9 billion that had to be passed by July 18.

We can only hope Kimmel screwed himself with that big "FU" to CBS........including Colbert's recent dispatch that would double the amount of fresh air suddenly available to non-bottom feeders.
