I believe that the CIA is in possession of documents that Congress should have access to, as to should the American public.
I think this also goes beyond sex trafficking.
Yeah, so technically they're usually around 15 minutes, but it's up to the speaker how long they want to keep the votes open.
So the reason these votes are being held for so long is indicative of the fact that they don't have the votes.
And the one that we are on right now, which is the second of the three procedural votes that we have before debate would begin and then final passage of the bill.
If they were to close this one that that has been open for five hours, as you said, then they would have to open the third one.
And that is the one I think they're probably most concerned about.
And they have the votes to pass it, because if the next one, which is the rule,
fails, then we can't move forward with debate and can't move forward with final passage.
It would actually go back to the rules committee where it was last night, late into the night.

They are on the side of they think that the Senate stripped out some elements that they wanted.
For example, they claim in there that the rollback of the Green New Deal provisions don't go far enough or the Medicaid cuts don't go far enough.
So that's the Freedom Caucus.
And then there are some of the more moderate members.
who who on the other side of things, you know, are worried about the Medicaid cuts, the clean energy issues.
