I believe the Dems can force a vote on this bill, so this will have to come up for a vote again and it will pass, so their only option is to hold up the vote on the bill.

Here is something I just found that is absolutely shocking.
Trump was gifted a luxury 747 by the emir of Qatar but he cannot accept it so I believe it will become property of Trump library which I assume will be a private affair. But apparently it has been secretly making rounds at various L3-Harris facilities being retrofitted with our tax dollars. WTF???

Various sources have estimated it would cost between $400 million and $1 billion to revamp the 747 with security and communications upgrades to make it safe for presidential use. That bill is going to the Air Force, which has said it intends to siphon leftover funds from its Sentinel nuclear missile program to pay for the retrofit.

Why the security and communications upgrades to make it safe for presidential use if it's not going to be ready before he leaves office? Because he never intends to leave office. Not while he's alive anyway.

Rolling Stone here was bending over backwards here not to give Tulsi Grabbard credit for raking him over the coals, which she truly did. But I give her no credit either. She did it for herself, not because she has some new mission to promote political integrity.
