Here's a summary (single Pod Save America FB link) of what comes next (basically, 20 hours of debate, during which amendments can be proposed. First vote is repeal and delay for Rand Paul.

Anything beyond that is anyone's guess, though the Senate Parliamentarian isn't making things easy for them). Helpful summary on all the GOP healthcare bills.

A little good news though: The house has overwhelmingly passed a Russia sanctions bill which gives Congress the power to block any effort by the White House to weaken sanctions on Russia. It now goes back to the Senate, where it will probably pass, before going to Trump to either sign or veto.
Oh yeah, Spicey has resigned because he hates the new Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, who has said he's going to deal with leaks by "firing everybody".
Special thanks to WTF Just Happened Today for many of the links, and also to kirkaracha for supplying the Apocalypse Now quote I used for the title in the last thread.
