A group of nine moderates is threatening to withhold their votes from Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget resolution later this month, endangering Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s two-track plan to push both a massive infrastructure bill and social spending agenda through the House in the coming weeks.
The House Democrats outlined their threat in a letter to Pelosi and obtained by POLITICO on Friday morning. The group has been issuing veiled warnings for weeks — calling on Pelosi to bring the bipartisan Senate infrastructure bill up for a vote as soon as it’s ready — but this is the first time the lawmakers have explicitly said they wouldn’t support voting for the budget resolution.
“We will not consider voting for a budget resolution until the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passes the House and is signed into law,” wrote the group, led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey.
Pelosi can afford to lose only three votes in the House and will need near unanimity among Democrats to pass the budget resolution, which is slated for a vote when the House returns the week of Aug. 23. The House must pass the budget resolution before Democrats can move ahead with passing a massive $3.5 trillion social spending package using the filibuster protections of reconciliation.
But Pelosi’s other flank, the progressives, have balked at the idea of putting the bipartisan infrastructure bill up for a vote first, warning leadership that they have enough members prepared to vote against the Senate-passed bill to tank it on the floor.

She’ll call them in and threaten to disrobe if they don’t get with the pogrom. Uh, I meant program. Yeah, that’s it.
‘Rats that can’t be bought off fair and square?
Oh the suspense.
It’s already a done deal.
Do the EVER not get what they want?
Yep, just like Obamacare wasn’t going to pass.
She has at least 35 Republicans available if needed.
Nancy has to finish her 7 week vacation first ,it’s just for Show
Better dealing with RINOs. They are cheap. They just want to “wet their beaks.”
Her boobs sagged another three inches?
That’s just a ‘rat holding out for more.
9 “moderates”
No such thing in RAT universe. All commies.
one boob is in the senate minority leader office, the other is in the white house.
The vile, demonic Botoxian has the full power of all Hell behind it.
It will see to it that everything gets passed according to its master’s will.
The best thing about Nancy Pelosi is she’s 3 years past the average female lifespan in the USA. I have a bottle of champagne saved for when she makes her greatest contribution to the country
What happened? Did somebody find spending in infrastructure bill that cannot be justified under Congress's constitutional Article I, Section 8, limited powers? /super sarc
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (The states have never amended the Constitution for new powers for Congress to do these things.)
"Many are the exercises of power reserved to the States wherein a uniformity of proceeding would be advantageous to all. Such are quarantines, health laws, regulations of the press, banking institutions, training militia, etc., etc [emphasis added]." --Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1807. (The states have never amended the Constitution for new powers for Congress to do these things.)
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Patriots need to stop the unconstitutionally big federal government in its tracks by doing the following.
Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.
Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments, but also an amendment to clean up the judiciary.
Meh.
Until I hear that this bitch has been renditioned to some obscure location outside of the continental United States, she doesn’t have a worry in the world.
Just like Biden didn’t need votes to get elected, Nancy doesn’t need their 9 votes, as she changed the vote tallying machine to one provided by Dominion. 😋
“She has at least 35 Republicans available if needed.”
Wrong. The number is 135.
she has bigger boobs than that.
