Republican-led legislation was humiliated on Thursday after killing its ambitious plan to pass all 12 annual funding bills by the August recess. As CBS's Scott MacFarlane notes, "This is typically low-hanging fruit." However, the GOP somehow "failed to pass a spending bill to fund Congress itself." In addition, the legislation would have boosted funding for Capitol Police and helped pay for Capitol operations. Democrats weren't too happy about the bill due to specific provisions targeting DEI and the LGBT+ community.
