Well, howdy there, Internet people it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about a busy day on Capitol Hill from Trump and the GOP.

We'll start in the House. As the experts said, healthcare premiums skyrocketed after Republicans ripped tax credits from the working

class. Now, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation to bring back the tax credits

that lowered premiums through the Affordable Care Act. The House voted 230 to 196 to approve a bill that would extend the credits for three years.

17 Republicans crossed the aisle to support the bill and their constituents. All Democrats supported

the bill. Reminder, Trump's promised comprehensive health care plan still hasn't been seen.

Over on the other side of Capitol Hill in the Senate, five Republicans broke with the party

to advance a war powers resolution. The Senate voted 52 to 47 to advance the resolution that

would curb further action in Venezuela in a procedural

vote. The full vote is expected next week. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rand Paul of Kentucky,

Todd Young of Indiana, Susan Collins of Maine, and Josh Holly of Missouri voted to stop Trump's efforts.

In response, Trump said, quote, Republicans should be ashamed of the senators that just voted

with Democrats in attempting to take away our powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Reminder, the pretext has

already fallen. It's about oil and minerals, not defending the U.S. Here's the thing. The Senate will

have to pass the ACA package the House passed, and the House would have to pass any war powers

resolution if it makes it through the final vote. Both are currently unlikely to succeed as is

in the other chamber. As Trump starts quacking like a lame duck more often, we're likely to see

this dynamic more often.

Senators run statewide. Representatives run in districts. They have different electoral concerns,

and cater to different groups. Senators need a wider coalition, so they tend to more broadly reflect the feelings of America

as a whole. We very well might see an amended version of the House ACA package make it through.
