The worst bill so far.
I wonder when they're going to push through the Enabling Act
Did you see that Gestapo budget? This is it.
Fortunately the dems can filibuster that in the senate indefinitely
Dems don't filibuster, don't be delusional. This bill included so much funding for Trump's Gestapo is basically this act. ICE is already a completely unaccountable, militarized force, directly at his command. Now they basically have a blank check.
they made sure its omnibus conciliation bill so it cant be filibustered.
Of course, only Republicans exploit a government majority trifecta so skillfully. Democrats just get Chuck Schumer's stern looks and strongly worded letters, instead.
No, they can't. It passed the senate before this house vote.
I was talking about The Enabling Act.
The reason almost everything in the MAGA agenda is in this one bill is because it's the senate-filibuster-proof yearly budget bill. Any other bill the MAGAts try to shove through can be blocked by the dems.
Ah, misunderstood. You're right then, as far as it goes. The Democrats could theoretically filibuster any other bills, but I'll believe it when I see it. So far they've demonstrated the spine of a flatworm.
