Thanks, I was totally unaware a rescissions package was sent to Congress.
You’re right about the lack of unity. Something like the rescission package will get sunk by RINOs and fiscal conservatives alike. One will say it’s too much, the other says it’s not enough. The end result is we’re stuck in the status quo.
TBH I'm not fully aware of all the backroom discussions either but I know Johnson wants to bring it to a vote and that there are cuts to the state department and NPR included.
This happened in 2018 too when it passed the House and not the Senate. I think they just want to avoid a repeat for the exact point you made about RINOs/fiscal cons.

I hate it, but if Republicans vote it down there will be an MSM feeding frenzy. The narrative will be Trump has lost the support of his own party.
