MASSIE on calls to amend Epstein bill: "Amending this is a fool's errand. I know why the Speaker's doing that. He's trying to save face. He just voted for a bill that he's spread lies about for five months in order to try to kill it. And then he had to vote for it because the president told him to."

There is no legislative product yet.

Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., says expiring ACA funds won’t be extended as is. “There is no way a clean extension comes to the House floor,” he says, suggesting that’d spark a revolt. “The business would stop in the House completely if an attempt was made to bring that to the floor.”
