The House passed the GOP budget plan for Trump's agenda Tuesday night after briefly pulling it from the schedule.

Summary

House Republicans narrowly passed their budget resolution by a vote of 217-215, a big win for Speaker Mike Johnson with an extremely slim GOP majority.

The measure begins the process to implement Trump’s legislative agenda through reconciliation, requiring only a simple majority to pass, but both the House and Senate must adopt the exact same resolution.

Democrats, fearing massive Medicaid cuts, strongly opposed the resolution and scrambled to get members to the floor, including Rep. Brittany Petterson, on maternity leave, and Rep. Kevin Mullin, who used a walker.

The resolution now heads to the Senate.

    I can’t tell if they’re actually following Putins orders or are actually just that dumb.

    This is the likeliest explanation for every single decision. If it weakens/destroys the US, Trump is doing it, and that is exactly the goal of his godhead.
