    I’ve read similar that it is per subpoena, but I haven’t found an article with a more detailed analysis yet.

    Now technically in the article I linked Speaker Johnson says he’ll hold a vote to remove that clause, but even if he’s being genuine I’m guessing it won’t pass in the Senate or will be vetoed by Trump.

    The whole this just kicking someone (the United States) while they’re down. Longest shutdown. SNAP benefits halted. ACA subsidies expired. Hemp outlawed. Senator payouts… And this current “victory” only lasts until the end of January. Just long enough for the wounds to start healing before we all get kicked down again.
