This is huge thanks to @SpeakerPelosi for holding firm.
Every Republican & Democrat who votes for it should be thanked for doing their jobs.
Senate needs to hear over the weekend how important it is to support as is. Trump also must not change his mind. 3/

Speaking of changing his mind, Trump has now said he’s not committed to the deal. Stay tuned. This will keep changing.
FOR WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING: As of 11:35 they are voting on a bill.
It looks like it will pass with broad bipartisan margins with all Democrats and all but a couple handfuls of Republicans supporting.
