'Hawley said he expected Republicans to support work requirements for Medicaid beneficiaries but reject any cuts that would hit working Americans'
It will go to Committie.
Article is from Politic, so far left it fell off the globe last week.
All major bills get massaged before they pass.
This is what we USED to do!
Two separate bodies have different bills and disagreements.
So they go to conference, battle it out, resolve differences and come up with one bill that both houses them pass.
This is called legislating, and it takes work, and votes.
But the Washington crowd has gotten so used to continuing resolutions (i.e. no budgets) then voting once, that they don’t know what to do with regular legislative order.
GO TO CONFERENCE!
Round up the usual suspects?.................
The word “some” is the most highly disrespected word in modern “news” communications, and using it regularly would turn many an editorial masquerading as “news” into a much better news report.
Bombast and hysteria from the Alt Left paid shills at Poltico.
This is the process. This is being done this way to go around a promised Democrat filibuster. It has to go via Reconciliation because Dems cannot filibuster that bill
Any GOP_E Senator who votes against ending taxes on Social Security, Over time pay and Tips is a political dead man walking
“GOP senators indicated Wednesday”. I wonder who these GOP senators are?
The Divas are about to torpedo another Republican effort. Seems to me illegals and perpetual non employed have saturated Medicaid and to some extent Medicare and if able made to work for “free” medical coverage or just removed if illegal.
People need to call their Senators and remind them who is President.
You saw a little bit of wrestling between both chambers happening.
But in the end, I think they will have a meeting of minds.
Did they ask the States they purport to represent. Of is this just off the cuff grandstanding?
The budget barely made it out of the house. One (1) Repub voted against the bill. Why? It would increase the debt some 20 trillion dollars over 10 years.

Yeah, I know Trump wants this, but lets be real. Congress is gonna have to do better than this.
Budgets (and other important bills) always go to a House/Senate conference and differences are settled there.
Big yawn.
Who cares what they want? They aren’t in charge.
Do what Trump wants or quit. Or you will be primaried.
F GOP Senators.
This is expected. Now they go in and negotiate. But I really wish our side would communicate better. The cuts in Medicaid would be a reduction to the states, not individuals. The states can easily make up the difference.
Those “Republican” Senators aren’t going to be flying to Washington, DC after their next election cycle if they don’t get on board.
Politico?
How are they still in business without the USAID money?
And why was US Agency for INTERNATIONAL Development money ever given to entities within these United States?
With friends like this , who needs enemies?
For as long as I can remember, the Senate has always been great at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
