Does McConnell know what he was voting on or why he voted “no”?

Sen. McConnell was only concerned whether the funds successfully transferred

The “house rescission bill” refers to H.R. 4, the Rescissions Act of 2025, which passed the House on June 12, 2025. This bill proposes to rescind $9.4 billion in previously approved but unobligated funds. The rescissions target funds allocated to the Department of State, USAID, various independent agencies, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.

The bill passed the House with a narrow 214-212 vote

Not yet. This was only procedural vote, I believe. They have to vote again on the contents. Hopefully the other usual suspects outside the three don’t change votes.

“Collins, Murkowski and McConnell need to go”

Mukowski and McConnell, yes - need to go. But I’m not sure replacing Collins with a Northeastern DEMOCRAT will help Trump very much on these types of votes.

This reduction bill is tiny. Congress remains unserious about debt.

I cannot imagine any elected member of Congress believing in good government voting against this bill. What is their rationale???

Collins is the best we can hope for at this time in Maine. Truth that many here still fail to understand. I don’t like RINOs as much as everyone else, but this seat should have gone to a Democrat years ago.

And it will go to a Democrat; the minute she leaves office.
