Before we can start actually working on the FY2025 budget, the House must get their leadership in order, since Representative Kay Granger (R-TX) stepped down as chair right after the last of the FY2024 bills passed. Representative Tom Cole (R-OK) faces no opposition to assume the role.

Here's the list of votes, updated each day, but the Senate is now in recess. If you want to know how your Senator voted on each of the amendments, check that here. I see no point in posting each one separately. If you disagree, let me know.
