Voting has started
Only ted Cruz votes in the negative

Senate may have voted to move to the bill. But the Senate is not yet formally on the legislation and won’t initially be on it when they start tomorrow. We expect the Senate to formally start the immigration debate sometime tomorrow. But they are NOT on the bill yet.

But in order for amendments to be considered, they have to actually be introduced.

There are up to 30 hours of post-cloture debate available before any votes on amendments.
But with consent, we can set going much sooner.

Watching

voting is at 5:30 et

i hope everyone watching this takes note of how these politicians speak and word things.
so snakeish and conniving it's actually depressing to watch.

Let’s just hope these fuckers can compromise and swallow poison pills from each other.

lol
cornyn's smirk after saying "this shouldn't be an act of futility" was worrying.

"Americans are dreamers too" ��

holy shit cotton now?
shit's getting REAL

Grassley explaining his bill, basically the White House's proposal. Saying everyone needs to compromise and that Dems need not to use this as an issue for midterms.

"All lives matter", "Blue lives matter", "Just let us shoot the darkies jeez".
