In the Senate, courtesy of the Office of the Majority Leader:
Well... uh... they've got nothing. Literally. As of "press time," the Senate schedule page shows nothing at all for today.
Wow. That's some schedule, huh? In the House, one vote. On a rule, not even a bill. Now, maybe we ought to count our blessings, since the bill the rule governs is the Make the Internet Cost More Act, even a day's delay is a good thing. Go download something while you still have a chance.
But seriously, they haven't done a damn thing about creating jobs, and there are no prospects on the horizon, either. They've got three working days (including today) before they're outta here for two weeks, and there's no continuing appropriations bill in place to keep the government running past Friday. Regardless, they're going to divert their attention to screwing up the Internet, and then later in the week, to denying climate change and flushing science down the toilet. All indications are that there's a deal coming, of course. And there are indications that that deal's going to suck pretty bad, too.
And to top it all off, they're spreading this stupid crap so thin, they're planning a grand total of one damn vote tomorrow, on a rule, and delaying the actual bill until tomorrow.
And the Senate? Who the hell knows? Did you know that the Senate hasn't cast a vote to successfully pass a bill since March 8th? And that they've only voted to pass a grand total of three bills this Congress? (In case you're interested, they were the PATRIOT Act extension, the FAA reauthorization bill, and the patent reform bill. And among them, only the PATRIOT Act bill has become law.
The Senate suspended consideration of S. 493, the Small Business Jobs bill, last month and has turned instead to H.R. 4, the House's repeal of the Affordable Care Act's 1099 provisions. That was supposed to proceed to some votes yesterday, but... it didn't. Because everyone's eyes were really on making some kind of sucky budget deal.
Oh well. Hang in there, everybody. Recess is coming. Again.
