They stayed up late putting in edits that bans Medicaid from covering gender affirming care even for adults now. They said they were going to. It may be voted on in the house Thursday, May 22nd. Trump is pushing this massive spending bill to be passed ASAP.
The House needs to vote on it, it succeed, it go to the Senate, they vote and it and it succeed there, then the president accepts it, for it to become law.
Republicans hold majorities in both the House and Senate.
They will likely try to pass through the filibuster in the Senate with Budget Reconciliation so as to not require 60 votes, and therefore just a simple majority. That has its own rules though.
Edit: This morning the house voted for and passed the bill. Off to the Senate it goes. This is where everything happens.
Make sure you do your due dilligence and keep us updated as to whether it passes or not!
It passed the house, no surprise there. Now, what happens in the Senate… Will trump become a king and defeat the United States? Will Congress, like Biden, give trump the keys?
Let’s hope not.
