The House of Representatives will vote on a three-month spending package to avoid a government shut down by September 30.
House Speaker Mike Johnson removed the SAVE Act from the bill, as predicted. The SAVE Act was supposed to enact legislation to prevent voter fraud but it would not have prevented anything in advance of the upcoming November elections. It was, in the words of Representative Thomas Massie, failure theater.
The bill does not involve any budget cuts so congress will be right back here on December 20 when another debt limit is reached. The Speaker says that this is a bipartisan bill but really it is a Democrat bill. Republicans get nothing for it.
