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.
YAY! FASCISM!!!
it’s what assholes crave!
Weird, my asshole craves girldick
And yet the American populace will do absolutely nothing.
Welfare for farmers… wait a second, isn’t that socialism?
corporate farms
Farmers are often depicted as a profession done by poor people, the reality in the US is that the poor people got bought out decades ago, most farmers are actually gigantic land owners and often millionaires
No, that’s just a simple helping hand. You’re just not looking at it in the White way.
Government funds to farmers to help with the rising costs and effects of war? This feels like a word that usually isn’t associated with capitalism.
Most of the farmland is owned by a handful of oligarchs and mega-corps
True but I’d wager this is an 11th-hour attempt to buy back heartland wallet voters they’ve been hemorrhaging for over a year. Hopefully they take the bribe and still vote against him.
Wouldn’t be the first time Donald Trump just started handing out checks and hoping for the best.
But it’s easy to take someone’s money and still hate the guy signing the check. Ask any wage laborer.
it is when you consider that farms are mega corps these days. they don’t care about a little co-op in Shelbina, MO.
They don’t have a majority in the Senate for it even if the Senate accepts it as a budget bill, which is not guaranteed.
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.
god fucking dammit
Kickbacks for red states and their constituents affected by the war.
Oh what the fuck
Republicans are treasonus scum. What’s new.
