It Was There All Along: Senate Passes Child Cancer Research Bill The House Sent Them In March

Posted • December 21, 2024: Over the last few days, we have all watched intense drama unfold on one of our favorite reality shows, The Real Housewives of the US Capitol (AKA Congress). In last night's season finale, the cast worked feverishly to meet a midnight deadline and avert a blue Christmas for non-essential government employees nationwide.

The House passed the funding in a stand-alone bill in March. The bill was sent to the Senate, but Majority Leader Chuck Schumer buried it. You'd think Jeffries would know that; he was there, after all. He would never knowingly lie. Would he? Of course, he would. As the saying goes, you never let the truth get in the way of a good story. In fact, if you watch the interview closely, you can tell he's lying. His lips are moving. (…)
