  1. The #RulesCommittee has traditionally been an organ of the speaker, & #legislation is typically advanced to the floor in a straight party-line vote.

    It reflected the extent of #FarRight anger over Speaker #MikeJohnson’s plan to push through the #legislation over the opposition of #ultraconservative #Republicans, & underscored how heavily the speaker will have to rely on #Democrats to push it across the finish line.

  6. #Senate now going through nonsensical #Republican motions re #Mayorkas #impeachment that are all being rejected. There will likely be more before a real vote on Schumer’s point of order that article I is unconstitutional.

  7. #TSA screeners would remain on the job #withoutPay, many of whom called in sick as a #protest after a previous #shutdown dragged on for wks, sparking nationwide #travel delays.

    It would also leave #Congress w/few alternate paths to fund the govt. A likely last resort would have been another #stopgap resolution to preserve existing #funding, potentially triggering #cuts to #defense spending.

  18. Earlier this month, lawmakers were able to negotiate & pass a 6-bill $460B spending package that just barely met the 1st deadline on Mar 8, & are now repeating the process — this time haggling over funding for more politically fraught agencies — before the 2nd deadline at the end of this week.

  23. #HouseRepublicans, the #Senate, #Democrats & the #WhiteHouse had been at loggerheads over funding levels for the #DHS. For days, they had been litigating disagreements that threatened to imperil the spending package that also funds the #Pentagon, the #StateDepartment & other #FederalAgencies. They are facing a midnight deadline on Fri to pass the measure & avert a lapse in funding.

  24. Sen. Amy #Klobuchar (D-MN) said #Senate #Democrats have concluded that #uninterrupted #aid to #Ukraine is their top goal, adding that aid negotiations will be saved for a supplemental request.
    
“I believe there’s a bunch of #Republicans who are w/ Ukraine. The big test … is going to be what happens w/the supplemental & what happens in the next few weeks,” she said.

  25. As for the #ContinuingResolution, #Blumenthal said no #Senate #Democrats indicated they were going to vote against it over its lack of funding for #Ukraine. He expects a vote on the #House-passed CR w/in the next few hours.

    (Hours? what happened to 6:30?)

  26. This was the 1st time #McCarthy’s vote total exceeded #Jeffries’.

    Jeffries 211 (1 absent Dem); McCarthy 213.

    Which sucks for those of us who dreamt of a #SpeakerJeffries.

    Even if McCarthy wins, this #118th #HouseOfRepresentatives is going to be a freakin mess due to the numerous concessions he made.
