quote:

Speaker Johnson walks out and confirms the SAVE AMERICA ACT provisions will only need 50 votes + JD Vance in the Senate after the reconciliation package is sent over

LFG!

"That unlocks our 3rd reconciliation bill, which is Republicans' BEST shot to get as much of the SAVE America Act into law as possible!"

"Many of you doubted our success. Many of you standing around me in this gaggle right now said, let me read you a sample of the headlines. Quote, House Republicans face final week gauntlet, another said, Johnson's rocky sprint to recess."

"Another said, it was Johnson's make or break week, despite nearly every Democrat voting against everything I just read you, House Republicans delivered. Many of you like to say that major legislating can't happen in an election year. We just proved you wrong!"

"This week we continue to deliver for the people and we're going to continue that streak all the way through the end of this year and into the next Congress."

Thune isn’t voting 50 times. He knows we have traitors in our midst and he’s one of them.

You’ll let us know when it becomes law, right?

What do you have against secure elections?

Rhetorical question; I already know.

Classic Washington bullshite. Pass some toothless crap and then pat themselves on the back like they actually did something important.

I’m guessing either :

1. The parliamentarian will reject it as not being a budget bill, or….

2. It will be a watered down version with no teeth

Could the parliamentarian be their intentional scape goat?

So frustrating, I just tune out. Not the first time this has been said, by Johnson and others.

Likewise, right now, there is a thread discussing Congress passing this act, that act, etc. Nothing changes unless you want more Epstein files.

Democrats will fight tooth and nail against it because it makes it harder to cheat, but they will never admit it...they'll continue with the dumb "it makes it harder to vote" BS.

Thune will hold out for 60. No way the SAVE Act ever happens.

Cool... But I'll reserve my celebrating for when it actually passes.
