BPR:
The Senate narrowly approved President Donald Trump’s $9 billion rescissions package early Thursday morning after rejecting a series of Democratic measures to protect certain funds from the chopping block and delay its passage.
Senators voted 51 to 48 to send the president’s clawback funding request to the House for consideration. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — a duo that frequently joins together to oppose parts of the president’s agenda — voted “no” on the rescissions package.
No Senate Democrat voted for the rescissions bill, which clawed back $9 billion in previously appropriated funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting. Democratic Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith did not vote after being hospitalized Wednesday due to exhaustion. more

“Democratic Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith did not vote after being hospitalized Wednesday due to exhaustion.”
…is it really so tiring to spend other peoples money to undermine your own country?
Or was there a recent booster involved…
Wow, even Cocaine Mitch voted for it! He forced Vance to cast a tiebreaker to move the bill along.
SNS – Tina was probably warn out defending Walz from Boelter’s accusations concerning Klobuchar…
Wow, 10 whole minutes of government spending. LOL. Anything is good, but wake me when they’re finally cutting hundreds of billions including cuts in monies to Israel and Ukraine.
Great, now PBS & NPR will be forced to have weekly pledge drives to keep their liberal bs programs on the air. “Oh, the humanity.” NOT! It’s about time that they quit sucking on the federal tit. Now defund planned barrenhood permanently as well.
