Senate vote on debt ceiling will be tonight around 10pm.

[honest.abe]

They are currently working through voting on 11 amendments which is supposed to take about 10 minutes per amendment. They are curently on the 3rd one (as of 8:40 pm) so 8 more to go so looks like around 10pm for the final vote.

Here are the list of amendments.

1. Paul 107 (60 vote affirmative threshold)
2. Braun 91 (60 vote affirmative threshold)
3. Marshall 110 (60 vote affirmative threshold)
4. Sullivan 125 (60 vote affirmative threshold)
5. Hawley 93 (60 vote affirmative threshold)
6. Kennedy 104 (60 vote affirmative threshold)
7. Cotton 106 (60 vote affirmative threshold)
8. Budd 134 (60 vote affirmative threshold)
9. Lee 98 (Majority)
10. Kennedy 102 (Majority)
11. Kaine 101 (Majority)

It will be followed by final passage of the debt ceiling bill:

HR 3746 (An Act to Provide for a Responsible Increase to the Debt Ceiling). Subject to a 60 vote affirmative threshold.

They must defeat each amendment or it goes back to the House which is not what we want. Very unlikely any amendment will pass.

4. I'm guessing everyone knows they can't change anything.

[honest.abe]

5. Yeah this is all just for show I think.

6. So Kaine is the only Dem? Mahalo,

honest abe!!

Right.. we don't want it going back to the House!!

🤞🤷?♂️🤞🤷?♂️💙

[honest.abe]

7. Yeah, looks that way.

But his amendment will likely fail and he knows it. I think he is just trying to make a statement that the pipeline should not have been included in the bill.

[Cha]

8. Yeah.. Good on Sen Kaine.

Doesn't look like it now that's going to help Manchin.. of course things could change by 2024

I wish we could get More Dem Senators so we wouldn't have to deal with him.

16. Angry Kane made me laugh last night.

9. Watching on CSpan...they're introducing Hawley's now (tariffs on China)

I’m always kinda interested in seeing the process.

That said, I believe they will be voting on “the main event” later than predicted…but I hope not.

(Edit to add: Sinema is a weirdo and a bit of a slob)

[honest.abe]

10. Yeah that's a weird one.

I have no idea.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

11. Schumer says they won't leave till it's done, want it passed tonight, woot!

Pound it home, it WILL be done
