THREAD:
Friday we voted on a bill to:
*fund appropriations at 92% for 30 days.
*pass HR-2, the Republican border security bill (sans e-verify)
*establish a debt commission.
I voted for it, but that bill failed because 21 republicans and every democrat voted against it.

With no other viable options, the Speaker quickly advanced a bill to fund at 100% for 45 days, without Ukraine $, so we could work on the other 8 approps bills.
Brave GOP senators overrode the decision of their leadership and the Senate GOP decided to delay the Senate bill.

The conservative option (8% cut) being defeated the day before (ironically by conservatives) the House passed the 45 day, no cuts, no Ukraine bill on Saturday.
Dems who wanted the senate bill reluctantly voted for house bill, as did 100+ repubs (not I, but I don’t fault them).

This does not warrant a Motion to Vacate.
I’ll try to answer some questions posted here.
