😂😂🤣 Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, called the bill a “turd-sandwich” in a tweet.
“Had the bill looked anything like what the Republicans passed on the floor where they rescinded all the money designed to create an electric battery industry in this country, designed to further reduce drug prices, you would have had unanimity against it,” Himes said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Some Republicans swiftly disputed McCarthy’s claim that a majority of the conference was “very excited” about the deal.
A source familiar with the agreement said it includes a two-year appropriations deal and a two-year extension of the debt limit, effectively resolving the issue until after the 2024 election. It will include work requirements to receive federal aid under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, for people up to 54 years old, with exceptions for homeless people and veterans. But there will be “no changes to Medicaid,” the source said.
Some lawmakers on both sides of the aisle criticized the deal on Sunday programs.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said Democratic leaders should be worried about progressive support for the deal on CNN’s “State of the Union."
Jayapal, who had been briefed on the agreement, criticized the provision that would tighten work requirements for the SNAP food assistance program, calling it a "bad policy."
The tentative agreement, which is expected to raise the country's borrowing authority in exchange for cuts in spending, was struck after weeks of negotiations led by Biden and McCarthy.
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.
