    TBF… it’s looking like there will in fact be a vote to extend, which will likely pass thanks to some R that are not fully MAGA

      am I missing this article, last I heard, trump was talking about extending the cuts… followed by Mike Johnson saying no we aren’t interested in that at all.

      Which then I guess further follows up the question, does Mike Johnson even need to bring it up to a vote at all? Like hypothetically even if they whip the votes and get 10 republicans to defect… would anything actually force johnson to bring it to a vote at all?

          awesome good to know, fingers crossed this is actually a direction that may happen. still have to question if it’s enough to force johnson to bring it to the vote, and possibly needs a fillibuster breaking majority. (before we even talk about the senate).
