Shumer + Pelosi = national devastation.
If the incoming House Republican majority is serious about taking back control, they need to start with the budget process heading into the next Presidential election. They must align the budget bills with the agenda of the most-favored Republican candidate going into 2024.
Freeze Mitch McConnell out of the process in the next budget cycle.

This country has lost its ever living mind.
Was there really ever any doubt?
If this nation still has a decade as a free and brave nation, frankly, I’ll be shocked. At least I’ll be long dead before that happens. I pity my grandchildren.
Even so, come Lord Jesus!
70 unAmerican scumbags who don’t deserve a sack of hot dog crap for Christmas dinner.
Or any other dinner.
Here comes another $1.7T Nancybucks forcefully injected into the veins of the economy, with the help of a bus full of repubs.
Your grocery basket just got 20% more expensive.
Certainly removes any doubt as to the level of GOP Senate involvement with the communists who now rule us...
The gallows list grows & grows with all those fellow-traveler votes for this porkubus assault on the taxpayers’ pocketbooks...
Once again, the GOP circle jerk does its job for the communists...
(There is no money for border security.)
Democrats are destroying this nation as fast as possible.
With idiots cheering them on.
We no longer have a nation. It’s just being looted as fast as possible.
The Zelenskyyyy shakedown visit announcement was designed to get this lopsided vote. No one wants to answer questions about “why did you vote to help Putin?!?!?!”
Someone explain to me how voting for a RINO is different than voting for a Democrat.
Half the GOP caucus voted for Satanism (the contents). Duly noted.
Does it have an amendment raising the 3rd party payer (PayPal, Venmo, etc) threshold from $600 to $10,000?
I wonder if J62 > J61?

WHAT’S IN
TikTok ban: Legislation pushed by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) that would bar the download of the popular app on government devices made it into the final bill. The measure originally passed the Senate unanimously last week and comes as many states have enacted similar TikTok bans on government devices, heeding broad bipartisan concerns about the Chinese-owned app and its reach in the U.S.
Earlier end to Covid rules: The bill includes a bipartisan deal to end a Covid-era Medicaid policy that gave states more funding and barred them from kicking people off federally funded insurance, setting a new end date of April 1, 2023, instead of July 2023.
WHAT’S OUT
Pandemic aid: Biden had wanted $9 billion to help combat the Covid pandemic and address emerging needs, but Republicans never wanted to provide any extra cash.
Energy permitting reforms: Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) hope to expedite energy projects through a permitting policy overhaul didn’t make it into annual defense policy legislation — and it’s officially out of the spending bill, too.
Every one of these 25 GOP wimps needs to be gone.
It looks like 1/2 the Senate GOP are all RINOs.
I am for a Constitutional amendment that closes - by that amendment - Congressional sessions (House and Senate) the day before every national election, with Congress not to be reopened till the date of seating the new Congress. In sum, banning any and all lame duck sessions.
