These kids absolutely crush Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train",

His music has spanned the generations π€
And this is why every school needs a well funded music program πΆ

And yet here we are. Over recissions.
But more about the Massie DP.
Thatβs what this is about. Pass recissions package without having to push into being in session on Friday - hence the βDemon Passβ- and get out of town for recess before Massie can move forward on forcing a vote on Epstein files.
Still think this is all much ado about nothing?
Alsoβ¦this is about the calendar.
Rep. Massie advised a discharge petition that would force DOJ to release Epstein files. It βripensβ 7 legislative days after itβs filed. If the House is in session tomorrow, it would ripen on 7/24. If theyβre out tomorrow, it doesnβt ripen until after August recess
OK this is something. Stick with me here. The way this is constructed, if the Rule passes, the recissions bill passes. Itβs not part of an underlying bill. Itβs deeming itself without ever being debated.
Iβve seen plenty of deemers tucked into other bills. But not their own bill. This is WEIRD.
The House is coming to the floor and debate the Rule that just cleared Rules committeeβ¦and if the Rule passes a floor vote, it will automatically deem the Senate recissions bill passed.
No debate. No nothing. Just a deemer attached to a Rule.
It clears that vote, CPB and PBS are defunded.
