Congress's purse straps remain tightened, at least for now,
as the GOP bill to fund the legislative branch has
failed on the House floor.
10 House Republicans joined Democrats to sink a GOP LED
bill to fund Congress for for 2025.
The bill failed 205 to 213,
with three Democrats voting in favor of it.
The vote could torpedo the party's goals to pass all
twelve annual funding bills by August recess.
House Republicans are expected to vote on the last seven
bills after the RNC in Milwaukee next week.
