and we told the people we were going to secure the border, said Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio
There was a bill. You killed it on Trump's order. The previous part is also a lie because everybody knows the only shrinkage they want in the government is shrinking the ability to protect their targets from them.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said there are "quite a few" lawmakers supporting her motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson, though she did not specify exactly how many members are backing her.
She told CNN that she hasnt talked to Johnson yet, but said the speaker is negotiating from weakness and that she doesnt see a scenario where she will back off raising the motion to vacate.
Greene reiterated that she does not have a timeline for when she will bring the motion up, but said she hopes to use the Houses two-week break.
What I'm hoping for is for all of our Republican members to be able to have time to think and reflect over this break, for us to be able to come back together and start the conversation of who is capable and willing to lead this Republican majority," she said.
Greene said that the government funding bill that passed in the House on Friday was a complete departure of everything we stand for, referring to the Republican party.

Here's what's in the $1.2 trillion funding package that advanced from the House to the Senate
From CNN's Tami Luhby
The fate of the of the $1.2 trillion funding package is now in the hands of the Senate after the House advanced the legislation earlier today. The bill has prompted infighting within the House GOP, with Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filing a surprise motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson due to the legislation.
The package, which runs more than 1,000 pages, would provide funding for the departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, State and the legislative branch. Lawmakers have until midnight to approve the bill to avoid a partial government shutdown.
House Republicans and Democrats have provided summaries of whats in the bill.
The package includes:
  • Nearly $62 billion in total discretionary resources for Homeland Security, which was the most contentious of the appropriation bills that lawmakers were negotiating.
  • $824 billion for defense, an increase of nearly $27 billion from fiscal year 2023.
  • More than $58 billion for state, foreign operations and related programs, a decrease of more than $3 billion from the prior fiscal year.
  • $79 billion for the Department of Education, which is $500 million less than the prior fiscal year. The amount is $22 billion more than House Republicans proposed, but $11 billion less than the administration's budget request.
  • $26 billion for financial services and general government, a decrease of $1 billion, or 4%, from the prior fiscal year.
  • Nearly $14 billion for the Labor Department, which is $145 million below the prior fiscal years level. The amount is nearly $5 billion more than House Republicans proposed.
  • More than $117 billion for HHS. That would be $14 billion more than House Republicans proposed, but $12 billion below Bidens budget request.
  • Nearly $7 billion for the legislative branch, $150 million below the last fiscal years level. It would maintain support for an operating budget for congressional offices and would provide funding to pay interns.

Looking at it, this does seem like a pretty big compromise by Dems. If you look, nearly everything is lower this year than last, and several billion short of what the White House asked for.

Sources say Dems may be willing to give Johnson lifeline for Ukraine funding. McCarthy was unwilling to make a deal previously.

Democrats are signaling theyll save Speaker Mike Johnson especially if he moves on Ukraine aid
Several House Democrats are signaling they would vote to save House Speaker Mike Johnson from GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greenes effort to oust him if he agreed to put a Ukraine aid package on the House floor for an up or down vote.
If he does the responsible thing which is allowing members of Congress to vote on a bill that will pass and is in our national security interests and then subsequent to that a nonserious actor who does not want to govern brings a motion to vacate, yes, I would motion to table in that circumstance, moderate Virginia Democratic Rep Abigail Spanberger told CNNs Manu Raju.
Other House Democrats signaled they would motion to table kill Greenes resolution if it came to that.
New York Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi, who was recently reelected in a special election to fill Santos seat, said he would vote to keep Johnson as speaker because its absurd hes being kicked out for doing the right thing, keeping the government open.
Ohio Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur, one of the few Democrats running in a Trump district, told CNNs Dana Bash she wants to keep her options open and it is a real consideration at this point that perhaps the politically and policy wise to save Johnson.

i'm so tired of takes like this. there are thousands of people dying in Ukraine right now, and millions more will die if Russia invades the Baltics. the republicans are going to appoint another bigoted, election-denying man anyway, so why not do something that's badly needed to help Ukraine. again, there are human lives at stake.

The government has been stalled since Republicans took the house. This would neuter them heading into the election season or possibly give dems the speaker.

2 republicans arent gonna destroy their careers during a presidential election year by crossing the aisle. They wouldnt during a normal year either, but the stakes are even higher right now.

I know. Doesn't change the fact that they're 2, and as of April 19th, 1 vote away.

Either way, supporting an election denier and someone who planned the big lie that led to 1/6 ain't it.

Making a deal with Johnson to get much needed aid for Ukraine is not an endorsement of him or his beliefs.

If Ukraine cant survive a few more weeks without us funding them - us, specifically; the EUs support is apparently useless - then theirs is a lost cause regardless.

all you do is shit on everyone who makes a single compromise. you don't care about policy, you care about virtue signalling how cool and pure you are to other people on the internet.

maybe there's a lot of people who used to be in your corner, who are fucking tired of your shit, and tired of taking your shit. maybe instead of shitting on genocide joe all the time, you should consider you might be pushing people away, which is putting stuff like M4A even further out of reach.
