Because the Senate passed it via reconciliation to avoid the filibuster, if the House rejects it, it goes back to the Senate to be re-formulated into something more acceptable to the House.
We’ll know more when the House votes on it. It may be House members will demand certain things be added or removed.
But then whatever changes have to be re-voted on in the Senate, so she’d have a SECOND chance to vote “No” while still voting “Yes”.
For those who missed it:

“Republican Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday that despite voting in favor of the sweeping tax and spending package, she wants the House to return the “One Big Beautiful Bill” to the Senate for further work.”

“The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined Democrats and voted no.”
As they dig their claws into your leg to better launch themselves off the bed…
2·1 day agoWow! I had no idea that was even possible for a 3 year old! Glad she’s OK!
That sounds kind of scary, did they actually get to the bottom of what happened or was it just “Hey, she can eat toast now, you’re free to go!”

Two situations tank a politician:
“During a successful election campaign for governor in 1983, he boasted, “The only way I can lose this election is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.””

Lanyard hole. Victorinox always considers keyring attachments as features.
We require the headline match the original, please correct it or we’ll have to remove it.
But the answer is “time”.
Look at the scale of the original project:
“Commissioned by Congress in 1925, construction on Mount Rushmore began in the late 1920s under the direction of sculptor Gutzon Borglum. The National Park Service took over the project in 1933. It was completed in 1941.”
16 years from approval to completion. Trump couldn’t even get a wall built before the next President abandoned it.
Immanentize the eschaton. :)

If you’re willing to go over the $20 barrier, you get more functionality:

Last time I flew was October of '23. No face scanning then, when did this start?
Many apartments have a firewall between units, it’s a safety measure. If fire can’t get through, I doubt mice could.
Close…
“I won’t be able to use much the computer today. I have to go to a place.”
Should be:
“I won’t be able to use the computer much today, I have to go to a place.”
Alternately:
“I won’t be able to use the computer very much today, I have to go to a place.”
Much (or very much) is modifying the action of using the computer, so it comes after.
“It’s incredible how flies the time! It will be Christmas soon!”
Same issue here…
“It’s incredible how time flies! It will be Christmas soon!”
The idiom is “time flies”, flies, the modifier, comes after. “The” isn’t needed and can be left out.
English has a LOT of weird rules, but there are good books that explain EVERYTHING:
Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style” is kind of the gold standard and it’s old enough now that it’s public domain:

While not free, I’d also suggest the Borzoi Handbook for Writers:
My wife argues that the only reason dudes support AOC is because she’s fuckable which is a whole other level of sexism and patriarchy.
Hairless.

I don’t think she even knows what she wants. If she didn’t want it to pass, she had her chance to kill it.
Republican is going to Republican I guess…
