Needing Only A Simple Majority

in #blog2 days ago

By the way, there are already some good improvements. So, let's cheer those. But, anyway, I've got four minutes to get on this thing.

I'll see you all. Surprise to be here, Jim, unfortunately. Yeah.

And, Margo, love you. Thank you. I just want to let you know, this is the beginning of the momentum.

Everybody knows it. We've got to get one win before the other wins follow. That's exactly what Congressman Knott told us on the punch bowl.

He'll say it again on Diligent Space when I get him in here. One win begins another. So, just keep that in mind, everyone.

Margo, real quick, I'm going to go on this. Margo, you've got the biggest job of them all because there's going to be a very good Democrat candidate to be for Senate with Tillis out. And it's got to be the right person.

But we'll talk about that, of course. But, anyway. Drach, tell us what the rescission bills are.

The rescission bills. Like the Rescissions Act of 2025, our legislation proposed to cancel or claw back previously approved federal funding that hasn't been spent yet. President Trump sent a special message to Congress on June 3rd asking to cut $9.4 billion from programs like NPR, PBS, and foreign aid.

And the House passed it narrowly, 214 to 212. But it's still waiting on the Senate. These bills speed through Congress with a 45-day deadline, needing only a simple majority in the Senate, not the usual 60 votes.
