Shutdown Vote Update

[hal2kilo]

Watched debate on C-SPAN. The vote on Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass has just started. The CT Congress person kept referring to President Musk interfering with the previous vote.
Will update, slow rainy day.

Supposedly disaster and ag money are back in but no debt ceiling increase like Trump wanted.

Near as I can tell the big Musk "wins" here are to let PBMs keep stealing money and jettisoning $200M in pediatric cancer research.

I figure it passes with just enough D votes then they'll let everything just be the Rs problem in March.

Very serious very smart people going to be running the country very soon.

Probably all through next year too if Trump II isn't going swell.

Joe is like fuck you all, let the finding out begin.

Don’t blame him.

Maybe he should show them where he is, and NOT sign the bill.

Hell, things took a while, we were technically shut down for a few hours. I thought this would just go click, click. I guess they had to assemble everybody in the Senate for the vote.
