What happened?
- the House Rules Committee reported out a rule with Democratic votes in a majority Republican House, shattering House precedent
- -the House rule orchestrates separate votes on aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and another giant bill which includes the TikTok bill and REPO Act. Border security is not included. No amendments are allowed on the Israel title, limited amendments granted on the rest.
- if each title passes, they will all be fused into one package without a final vote (known as a MIRV). That package is then added as a House amendment to the Senate foreign aid bill (the two are effectively the same); in parliamentary speak, the House concurs in the Senate amendment with a House amendment.
- the concurrence is set up in order to send the House package over to the Senate as a "message," which allows the Dem majority in the Senate to expedite its passage (the first motion to proceed is privileged and approved at simple majority instead of requiring cloture to be invoked at 60 votes).
- TL;DR: Dems get what they want in the House, Dems get what they want in the Senate, all of which is awkward because it's orchestrated by the Republican Speaker
