Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) will step down as chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, she announced within hours of the House passing a massive minibus spending bill that the majority of Republicans oppose.
In a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announcing her decision and shared on X Friday afternoon, Granger wrote of her time leading the committee, tasked with writing spending bills, claiming, “Everyone now receives clear documentation of what is in the bills.” Yet earlier that day, the House passed a 1,000-plus page bill that had only been revealed Thursday morning around 3:00 a.m. ET.

That bill, which Granger helped craft and supported, was passed under suspension of the rules, which requires two-thirds support. With Democrats overwhelmingly supporting the bill, Johnson and Granger were able to pass the bill despite 112 Republicans in opposition outnumbering the 101 supporters.
Granger, 81, announced in November 2023 that she would not seek another term in the House. The Texan had begun taking heat in her Fort Worth district for opposing Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)’s speakership bid the month prior and faced a primary challenge. She voted against the Republican nominee Jordan on the first ballot and continued to oppose him until a Republican conference secret ballot stripped Jordan of his nomination.

Well, one thing is for sure, the DEMS have not only won, but they have succeeded in helping GOP members take an exit.
A party that was already in turmoil, is pretty much gone.
Going to the lounge .... I heard that they have waffles. happy77
