House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday that Republicans are still “on track” to pass the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” by the “end of the week,” after opposition from some GOP hard-liners and moderates kept the measure from advancing on Friday.
“This is a big thing. We cannot fail, and we'll get it done for the American people,” Johnson told “Fox News Sunday.”
The speaker’s comments come as the House Budget Committee plans to reconvene at 10 p.m. Sunday to vote to advance the bill encompassing President Donald Trump’s agenda -- a necessary step toward putting the package on the House floor for a vote later this week before the Memorial Day deadline.
If the Budget Committee clears the package, Johnson said the Rules Committee will hold its meeting midweek, teeing up a vote on the floor by the end of the week.

This vote is just to get it out of the Budget Committee, not the final vote. They are supposed to convene at 10 pm ET tonight.

Which is why we are going to remain here for a long time. Until enough people realize that this is a battle and not a 'disagreement', we will not do what needs to be done.
Of course, when you have leadership who are wealthy and not too worried about dying in the next three years, they can afford to keep it a 'disagreement' in their minds.
What's a few hundred thousand deaths from curable diseases and injuries because we refuse to change the corrupted system we are living under. right? Why remove the system that gives them power, since they are so willing to help those of us who are not 'elected officials' and are not rich, even when that system is too far gone and too corrupted to even pretend that it is 'fair'?
Probably a bunch of "concerned" and "unsettled" Senators.
