1. Can someone explain this?

2. Simply

The limited oversight that the Senate Intel committee had over how US intel agencies spend their money, is now effectively gone!

3. Putin wants it that way.

6. So this was in the original House CR passed last week and passed today in the Senate?

Or was this changed for today’s vote? And is it permanent, or only good for the 3 week length of the CR?

And why didn’t the MFrs read, or have their staff, read what was in the CR...

[Fred Sanders]

4. Any copy of the entire CR lying around? Otherwise talking about vapor.

5. Mick can zero out the budgets of those agency's just like he did with consumer protection agency
