The House voted 216-214 on a budget reconciliation framework that includes $10 billion worth of election-related grants over a 10-year period for coaxing states into adopting anti-voting measures like those in Trump’s pet proposal. The $95 billion package also includes funding for the Iran war and bailouts for farmers hurt by Trump’s tariffs.
It’s still unclear what will be in the final reconciliation bill; now that the budget resolution has been approved, individual House committees will go about drafting the legislation. The reconciliation process allows Senate Republicans to bypass the filibuster’s 60-vote threshold and pass legislation with a simple majority.
Where were the fillabuster avoidance strategies when dems were in power FFS. Dems are shit at politics and power.
The House doesn’t have a filibuster. It never has. The Senate has the filibuster.
And they’re trying to pass it off as a budget related bill which is immune to filibusters
dems do it on purpose because reps are just fine with the anger that comes from them being “worse.” because in reality reps and dems are the same: capitalists.
