Bring us the good news Izzy...

Thanks, Nomad. I don't think there's going to be any big 'news' now until they get to the actual vote. Right now, it's just all the house members making statements, many yielding their time so various factions can have their say. Lots of repetitive R talking points, some statements by Ds about history and compassion and personal stories of constituents, and occasionally an outbreak of fighting over parliamentary rules.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

Yes!!! (4.00 / 2)

One vote down, one to go!

Re: Yes!!! (4.00 / 2)

oops - for non-US context: the House just passed the Senate bill 219 - 212. The vote on the reconciliation bill is next.
