bill. But things are changing so quickly that I don't know if that is still the fact or not.

I'm curious too, especially about the debt ceiling.

I believe the disaster relief is there. I don’t think the debt ceiling was mentioned. I did skip over a lot of Rs talking though

back in the bill.

Really appreciate the update!

I don’t think this is a vote for the bill, it’s to suspend rules and proceed, I think?

Not sure what's all in it.

why not a simple majority?

What did I miss?

Otherwise it must go through and be approved in committee (appropriations) to go to the floor under the normal majority vote rules.

365 Y
Some GOP are voting N
Dems are Y. A few were Not Voting, but then they jumped in a voted.

Looks like they're done voting. It was probably a few more than 365.

Headline on MSNBC Trump loses spending bill clash.

...it's a bit late to send it to the Appropriations Committee. Typical GOP, waiting till the last minute to try to pass something that should have been being worked on. One CR after another.

The circus has come to town, again.

updates!!!!

It almost sounds like on the important stuff we got everything we wanted.

a lot worse.

We do not need any more E15 ethanol or for that matter.

335 to 31 with 60 left

Just as I wrote this, one Dem votes Present

I know there was no debt ceiling in it and disaster relief was included.

Is it the original bipartisan agreed bill? If not, how close is it? It must not be outrageously different since most Dems voted for it.

From what I can find, there were only 34 votes against and they were all Republicans, so all Democrats that voted, voted yes.

It appears there were 8 things stripped out of the original bipartisan agreement, and that was one of them.

That seems to be what reports say.

Dems would never vote for that now and Johnson knew it so he had no choice but to strip it out..

More Democrats voted for it than repubs.
