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.
Here is how much more we need.
If they put that $9 Billion towards the national debt, and did the same every year,
it will only take 4,111 YEARS to wipe that debt out.
Look!! Squirrel!!

Oh, I don't care about the $9B....it's the cuts to USAID, PBS and NPR that is the most important thing to take away from this. Fuck those anti America-First groups who were being funded by us American tax payers.

Deadline isn’t codified, it’s because they’re going on a 40 some day vacation
Which of course the outstanding hard working Congress deserves!

Not going to find much looking in the wrong place. Like looking in the fridge for a snack at 2am. Just leftover pizza and some brownish looking substance in a Tupperware bowl that’s been there since you moved in.

Pushing the responsibility to the courts. If POTUS and US AG say 'release it', and courts refuse, who's on the hook?

Silly misinformation.
I mean JPM settles class actions practically weekly. Probably just a disgruntled HR employee
