One quibble: they were never in danger of losing a single other vote, they always have just enough to get it passed and let one person go home and say "see I don't always vote in lockstep!"

pandamom.bsky.social•2 days ago

1 didn’t vote.

camillesoderstrom.bsky.social•2 days ago

OK thank you! Somebody had posted a picture earlier that showed 4, but I heard it was just Grijalva who is in the hospital with lung cancer.

How soon does this begin?

leopardonparade.bsky.social•2 days ago

Has to go to the Senate and then to Trump.

They are absolutely going to break everything. It’s going to be very hard. And sad. And we will persevere and they will lose. And we will rebuild stronger. Fuck them. Every sad story needs to be hung around their necks. Shame.

It should be called "The Death Bill."

This means death for many Americans.

Welcome to a New World Order, where "certain death" is being hailed as a victory!

Where to now -- the Senate?

starry-penny.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yup

There are two House seats up for grabs in FL (CD 1 and 6). The House split is so narrow that the GOP has stalled Stefanik’s (NY) Nomination bc if the Dems swept all 3 seats, the House would flip. We need to complain at GOP reps offices and homes (if they won’t have town halls) & flip those seats.

Fiscally responsible?

Lisa, thank you for your tireless reporting. I had just come out of a meeting of #HIV advocates here in Chicago; tonight’s vote was a big point of discussion. The programs—the people—who will be affected by these drastic cuts.

So Massie found a way to vote for a massive deficit.

leopardonparade.bsky.social•2 days ago

I thought the debt ceiling vote wasn't going to happen until mid-March. What changed?

robjrii.bsky.social•2 days ago

Meaning they whipped it very carefully. Even though they ave been content to let Musk do pretty much all their dirty work thus far, it appears the Republicans still know how to count votes. Credit where due, I suppose.
