Because the Senate passed it via reconciliation to avoid the filibuster, if the House rejects it, it goes back to the Senate to be re-formulated into something more acceptable to the House.
We’ll know more when the House votes on it. It may be House members will demand certain things be added or removed.
But then whatever changes have to be re-voted on in the Senate, so she’d have a SECOND chance to vote “No” while still voting “Yes”.
For those who missed it:

“Republican Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday that despite voting in favor of the sweeping tax and spending package, she wants the House to return the “One Big Beautiful Bill” to the Senate for further work.”

“The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined Democrats and voted no.”
Heeeyyy… that’s not fair! We also ruin aquatic environments and national wildlife refuges too! ;)

Bitch, you HAD your chance to vote “No” and you voted “Yes”.

All it would have taken was Murkowski’s vote to kill it and she FAILED.
0·12 hours agoAbsolutely correct. No wishing death on ANYONE.
The hardest one was when Henry Kissinger died, because, well, Henry Kissinger. LOL. Lots of reminders of “No celebrating death”, but I mean, it WAS Kissinger.
Again, nothing to do with genocide or anything outside the group. If you come here suggesting people deserve to be killed, you’re not going to find receptive moderation.
Oh, I am not defending genocide. That has absolutely nothing to do with it.
I’m defending the rules of this community, which you’re ALSO violating. Rule 6.
"Loosen your shoes
Don’t listen to news
That keeps you up at night.And don’t try to find
Your place in line
'Cause it’s everywhere.'Cause you don’t need to find
Your place in line
'Cause it’s everywhere."
Read the Sidebar, specifically Rule 6.
No, I know you won’t. Here it is, bolding is mine:
“Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.”
No, because that’s not a direct call to violence.
Let me give you an example:
Someone posts this story:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cyvjj9lmq3zo
“Three killed in Ukrainian drone attack on central Russia”
“Three people have been killed and 45 injured following an attack by Ukraine on a factory in the city of Izhevsk - more than 1,000km (620 miles) from the border - Russian authorities say.”
User replies “Good.”
That’s removable. They are applauding the deaths of three human beings.
Alternately, someone posts this story:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russian-drone-strike-odesa-deaths-injuries-ukraine/
“Russian drone strike on port city kills married couple, injures 17, Ukraine officials say”
“Russian drones struck the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa overnight, killing two people and injuring at least 17, Ukrainian authorities said on Saturday.”
User responds with typical pro-Russia propaganda. Ukraine are Nazis, they started it, yadda yadda.
That’s also removable.
I’m not interested in stopping anything outside bad behavior in the groups I moderate.
I have nothing to do with “the movement” and neither do you.
Palestine can also do what they want, they aren’t subject to the rules here. The people here will abide by our rules.
I’ll make it super simple:
(Lemmy.World Rules (World.Lemmy.World Rules)) . . . (The entire rest of the world, including Palestine, Israel, Russia, Ukraine… everyone)
If you’re here, you agree to our ruleset. If you’re not here, our rules don’t apply to you.
I am not, Ukraine is outside this place, what happens outside this place does not need to conform to our rules.
If you’re going to participate, you will abide by the rules.
You were warned, this is now a temp ban. Continuing to be an asshole will earn a permanent ban.
Passed the Senate, on to the House.
House is split 220 Republicans, 212 Democrats, 3 vacancies.
217 votes to pass. Republicans can lose 3 votes and it still passes. 216 is a tie vote with no process to break ties in the House, the bill fails.
Video links are not allowed, Daily Fail double not allowed. :)
Two situations tank a politician:
“During a successful election campaign for governor in 1983, he boasted, “The only way I can lose this election is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.””
No, Ukraine can do whatever they need to do to throw off an illegal invasion and genocidal statements and actions.
YOU are not Ukraine, and if you’re going to participate here, you will abide by the rules of the community which explicitly do not advocate violence.
Not really “News”, but it’s sufficiently “World” so I’ll allow it.
I’m not even sure where I’d re-direct you if I did remove it. !entertainment@beehaw.org ? !entertainment@lemmy.world ? !music@lemmy.world ?
