Six Republicans grew a pair and voted to pass a resolution to end The Fascist Felon’s stupid tariffs on Canada. It now goes to the Senate and eventually to Trump’s desk where he could veto the bill.
White House officials and House GOP leaders unleashed an all-out pressure campaign to try to force the rebels to fall in line, calling around to other House Republicans and staffers asking “what buttons to push” with the holdouts, according to three people granted anonymity to describe the covert effort.
The Trump administration actually thought they could make retiring Congressman Dan Bacon a deal he could not refuse: carve out but it did not work. Bacon said that after he voted against the procedural measure and left the floor Tuesday night, GOP leaders tried to persuade him to come back and negotiate, offering tariff carve-outs and other incentives for businesses in his district.
“They were shocked,” Bacon recounted. “They said, ‘Why don’t you stick around?’ I said, ‘I’m not planning on negotiating.’
House passes Save America Act, Trump-backed bill to impose new voting rules
The Clown House also passed their latest voter suppression bill, the Save America Act, which requires proof of citizenship and would limit mail-in voting .
The legislation, which passed 218 to 213, faces an uphill battle in the Senate, close observers say.
One Democrat, Henry Cuellar of Texas, joined Republicans in passing the bill.

The Save America Act, introduced by Chip Roy of Texas this year, expands on changes to voting laws in the 2024 bill, adding a nationwide photo ID requirement to vote, with a list of acceptable identification that is stricter than many states that already have voter ID requirements. Student IDs are explicitly not allowed.
Implementation of the requirements in the original bill, including the proof of citizenship requirements, would take effect immediately, leaving states scrambling to align their voting systems to the new law.
Hopefully, this goes nowhere in the Senate:
The Southern Poverty Law Center estimates that 21 million Americans neither have a copy of their birth certificate nor a passport. Those potential voters are more likely to be poor or people of color, the organization says.
