BREAKING: TRUMP-BACKED CR FAILS THE HOUSE .... 174-235-1
A stunning 38 Republicans ignored Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson and voted no. The bill was considered under a fast-track method that required 2/3 for passage. Not only did it not get 2/3. It didn't even clear 218, a simple majority.
An inauspicious start to Trump's reemergence into the legislating world.

Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) voted Present. Along with Kathy Castor (FL-14) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) who voted Yes, only three Democrats failed to vote with their party leader.
Whereas a stunning 38 Republicans broke with the clearly expressed wishes of President-Elect Trump and Speaker Johnson. I’d say Trump is off to a very, very bad start!

Why are they burning precious political capital right now…… please proceed
Because Trump is a strategic genius – or, should I say, "a stable genius".
In other words, a "genius" who is best suited to shovel horseshit, and perhaps elephant shit, out of the stables.
Probably gambling that if they do it while Biden is still president, voters will blame him.
