I saw Thomas Massie once again declared he will not vote for any budget, but Chip Roy xeeted favorably of this one.
Someone at Hot Air pointed out that if Democrats do force a shutdown, it will beTrump deciding which programs get priority and get funded during the shut-down, and which are drained of all money.
That is a not-so-bad backup plan.
House Republicans are racing to pass their bill by 11:59 p.m. EDT Friday to avert a government shutdown, teeing up a final vote on the legislation Tuesday afternoon.
The chamber voted 216-214 to adopt a rule -- which governs debate on legislation -- for Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) continuing resolution. The measure would keep the government funded through Sept. 30.
It's unknown whether the bill will have enough support to pass, as Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has maintained he would not vote in favor of it. Several other Republicans are undecided, even after hearing support from Vice President Vance.
Democrats are expected to oppose the legislation in large numbers as they raise concerns about the cuts included in the bill. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are cautious about blocking the funding bill, fearing a government shutdown could backfire on them politically.
And as usual, that's the only thing they care about.
Notice the media is now making the case for a shutdown -- while in the past, they've screamed that the country would be destroyed by a shutdown. Anything to prop up their degenerate Communist party.
The vote is in progress, now:
