Per the original poster, @rational_lib:

Basically, house Republicans voted to defund DC police because even though it's not federal money, they fact that that have the power to pass laws affecting DC means that they can claim these as "cuts". Again, defunding the DC police doesn't help the federal government save a dime. But it's technically a budget cut, just not the budget cut they're supposed to working on. Yes, it's that silly.
