  1. Fine by me, it’s a crap bill for the people.

    #FarRight #Republicans on the #House #Budget Cmte on Friday blocked their own party’s megabill from reaching the floor, citing concerns that the #legislation to fulfill #Trump’s domestic agenda would add too much to the #deficit.

    5 Republicans—Chip Roy (TX), Ralph Norman (SC), Josh Brecheen (OK), Andrew Clyde (GA), & Lloyd Smucker (PA)—joined #Democrats in voting against the legislation 16 to 21.

  6. In an attempt to avoid a #GovernmentShutdown at the end of next week, #Trump & #House Speaker #MikeJohnson are pitching a #stopgap bill that would keep federal dollars flowing through Sept 30. Trump & Johnson are embracing it as a way to avoid a politically damaging shutdown fight among #Republicans while still giving Trump wide latitude to slash spending on his own in defiance of #Congress & the #law.

    #Republicans face dubious odds to maintain control of their slim #House majority, & a shutdown, which would shutter some vital govt services ahead of Nov’s elections, could have put #GOP candidates in jeopardy.

  31. Deficit-minded #Republicans rejected the stopgap spending bill out of hand, since many of them will back only regular full-year appropriations measures.

    And #HouseRepublicans’ personal rivalries surfaced again in a callback to the #funding debacle that a year ago ousted #MikeJohnson’s predecessor, #KevinMcCarthy, from the speakership.
