Day: July 25, 2017

Updates

1. July 25, 8:55 am:
   • The Senate effort to (not really) repeal and (only maybe) replace Obamacare remains shrouded in mystery, even as the body is expected to vote on a motion to proceed with debate today (July 25).^[1]
2. July 25, 3:22 pm:
   • Mitch McConnell managed, just barely, with Vice President Mike Pence casting a tie-breaking vote, to ram a motion to proceed through the Senate, but still, no one knows what sort of health are bill can attract enough of a consensus to pass.^[2] (Obamacare)
