Umm, doesn't the vote/ bill need to be passed in the senate??? I thought the first two years of Trump we had the congress and all the bills passed went to the senate and died on the desk of Cocaine Mitch. They just ignored them??? YES, YES???? SO THIS VOTE IS SYMBOLIC ONLY? IT WAS STILL PASSED AND GOING INTO AFFECT. I remember we defunded some crappy legislation just to find out it was already allocated and the funding was not going to stop for a few years. Remember when Trump was going to fill er up to the tippy top. That never happened, it was reported but congress blocked him from getting a good deal. Now the resident is paying 80+ a barrel. Nice job clown. So is this a real win? I don't think it is. Just symbolic.

The House did the right thing although this bill cannot advance on its own. It is an opening statement that has to be made.
This may have passed the House but it will never be taken up in the Senate as long as (D)s are in control of it. The near term fight is the debt ceiling and this is where the leverage to get rid of the IRS agents and other onerous things can be stripped from funding in order for the (R)s to consider even a 1-cent rise in the debt ceiling.
Congress voted for all the $1.7T spending but the debt ceiling must be raised to allow for the spending to happen. This is where the rules package just appoved has the teeth to actually get in there and derail this shit.
This.
