   Am I reading this wrong or is this capitulation by the MAGAts in the House going to hasten the end of Mike Johnson as Speaker? Might be too soon to tell, but it sure feels like it.

   It certainly is a blow to President Musk and his coffee boy Trump. #politics

     @GottaLaff I still think they have to vote on it. Like I said, probably too soon to really know.

     @GottaLaff I don't think there was any way to come out of this with liking anything.

     @GottaLaff I guess the silver lining is we live to fight another day.

     @GottaLaff I guess my hope/wish/prayer is the GOP will eject Johnson and be even more chaotic than they are now so there's room to maneuver amongst the chaos.

     @GottaLaff @Joe_Hill I tink the Senate added it back on a separate bill. It's confusing though, because from my understanding there is on reconciliation process given that POTUS is going to sign off on the CR today. https://news.bgov.com/bloomberg-government-news/senate-oks-childhood-cancer-bill-after-leaving-off-stopgap-deal

     @Joe_Hill Yes, I know that. And they did cut cancer research for kids. And they are still going after major cuts elsewhere. @WarnerCrocker

     @GottaLaff @WarnerCrocker
     No. MAGA wanted to eliminate the debt ceiling so president musk could pass tax cuts without repercussions.

     They also wanted to eliminate cancer research for kids, farm and disaster relief aid.

     @WarnerCrocker @Joe_Hill I'm thoroughly confused.

     Then again, my state of mind sucks today, so I'm missing a lot.

     @GottaLaff @Joe_Hill FWIW I bet as confused as we are, we know more than anyone working for the US government in any capacity, including those who voted whichever way
