The Republicans don't even meet that threshold.
Meeting obligations would have meant a budget before October 1. Of course they have only accomplished that like 4 times in the last 50 years.
I have yet to find a news article that explains all differences between bill 1 (the one president musk killed by tweeting) and bill 3 (the one congress just passed). I feel like journalists are going to read this over the holidays and in January we're going to get stories about how lawmakers just defunded the EPA or something.
As mentioned elsewhere, pediatric cancer funds have already been restored in separate legislation.
The interesting thing about the cancer funds is that it was being "held" in the Senate after passage by Rand Paul.
Thank you!
There were provisions of the CR that didn't strictly have to do with government funding. This is not unusual as these are attached so Congress doesn't have to consider each separately under the rules. Some of them didn't make the final bill (also not unusual). They will no doubt either find their way on other bills or as standalone.
Musk got what he wanted
Also stripped from the bill was a provision that would have limited US investments in China, particularly in the technology sector
Reading between the lines, kids with cancer are still fucked.
No, senate dems were able to do some maneuvering to resecure most of that pediatric cancer funding that president-elect Musk and house republicans cut of their CR bill
The house had already technically passed an earlier bill that approved similar funding (intended to be merge into the main CR), so the senate dems just went back to that earlier bill and voted on it and got that passed
That's a win, I guess. It's still fucked that the u.s. government spends more per new fighter plane annually than on pediatric cancer research.
Good to hear. Thank you.
