House Dems no longer fans of the 'pass it to find out what's in it' approach

Remember back in the days when "we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it" was cool? Nancy Pelosi certainly does:

Fast forward to late September of 2023 during the debate over government funding to avoid a shutdown, and some Democrats called for the House to adjourn. The given reason was that the Republicans hadn't provided Dems enough time to read the bill:

WOW: Democrats just tried to adjourn the House of Representatives and go home — with just hours to go until they shut down the government.

Now: House is voting on a motion to adjourn called by Dems, a delay tactic to buy time before voting on clean CR + disaster relief. "Our intention is not to adjourn. Our intention is to read the bill," Dem Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar said. via @ArisFolley

DEM WHIP KATHERINE CLARK UP ON THE FLOOR ....

She says Democrats want "90 minutes" to read the bill.

"That has been denied. We have serious trust issues. ... I am making a motion to adjourn."

"Reading the bill" is back in style for the Democrats? 

Go figure!

Now @TheDemocrats say they need more time to read the 45 day stop gap spending bill.

Ohh, now they want to read the bill!

"We need three days to read a 71-page bill" brought to you by the "We need to pass it to find out what's in it" party. https://t.co/zYR0oexvFg

You have to pass it to find out what's in it - remember? https://t.co/wWm2vanpeX pic.twitter.com/MF071BRWaf

As the great Nancy Pelosi once said - we have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it.

Things seem to have changed since then.
