"I know this reads like a bunch of procedural jargon.

In normal speak, what is happening here is the House is getting ready to vote to begin debate on its budget resolution -- and when it does, it is also voting to BAR ITSELF from taking action to stop Trump's tariffs.

Dems seizing on this provision being tucked into the rule for the budget res:

🚨“A vote for this rule is a vote for Trump’s tariffs," says Rep D Beyer.
-J Bendery

"Here's the rule the House just passed for taking up its budget resolution -- with a provision🚨preventing any House member from filing a disapproval resolution on Trump's tariffs through Sept. 30.

See #6. They're insulating Trump's tariffs from being canceled by themselves."
-J Bendery

Johnson is ensuring a deep recession!

“The Senate Budget resolution sets up the toxic combo of

Tax cuts tilted to the wealthy
🚨+Cuts to programs helping people afford food and health care
+Massive, regressive tariffs
=Transfer of wealth from low- and middle-income families to the wealthy”
-B Duke

The majority of Americans are harmed by this draconian budget. The resolution now goes to the House.

A quotation from Lincoln

We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not vanish from this earth.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1863-11-19), “Dedication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg [Gettysburg Address],” Pennsylvania
