House Republicans vote to defund health care and Planned Parenthood

Before taking off for their two-week holiday recess, House Republicans have passed resolutions to defund the Affordable Care Act (240-185) and Planned Parenthood (240-184).

And now it's on to the Senate where both resolutions will be defeated later today.

Meanwhile, 100 days have passed and Republicans still haven't done anything about job creation.

Update: And the House resolution to defund ACA is defeated in the Senate on a vote of 47-53.

Update II: And just as quickly, the House resolution to defund Planned Parenthood fails, 42-58.

Both measures needed 60 votes to pass.
