It is so cynical to delay this bill from being operational so that many MAGA voters wont feel the many hits coming their way until after the mid term elections.

Can only hope and pray that enough Republicans in the House see how deeply wrong and harmful BUB would be towards many of their constituents.


It took just one honorable Republican senator (John McCain) to save the Affordable Care Act during Trump #1 but he was not here this time to save the Senate from passing this cruel bill. Let’s hope there are more Republican women and men of conscience in the House to save America from BUB.


That was amazing!. What a great American. Why aren't there more senators like that?.


All of the ones who are genuinely good human beings (on both sides) get pushed out.

There are stories from a generation ago of congressman regularly having dinner/drinks etc. with colleagues from the other party. Compromise and "crossing the aisle" were valued. No more.

So much of this is the result of Citizens United and lack of any reform on campaign finance. It's all about the money and voting as their told so they don't get primaried out of their job.

I can see him walking up and giving his thumbs down in my head. Such a great Republican.

21:15 here. Ha, they're doing it! They can obstruct legislation, demand recorded votes on procedural motions and amendments, toss in some irrelevant amendments, and delay conference committees. They should disrupt and delay!

From your link: Dems are scouring the bill for procedural mistakes. Massachusetts Rep. Jim McGovern, top Rules Committee Democrat:

“It has a mistake in it.”

“Once the House begins debate on the procedural measure, Johnson doesn’t have a ripcord he can pull to delay or reschedule voting.”

“Democrats would be free to deploy a variety of delay tactics, including motions to adjourn or table the measure.”

🤪 “If Republicans can’t get a one-paragraph rule right, they shouldn’t be trusted to pass an 870-page bill touching taxes, health care, defense and more.”

If passed, the bill formerly known as Big Beautiful Bill, would unquestionably be a disaster for America. The corruption, fiscal irresponsibility, and callous cuts to vital social programs will have tangible and tragic ramifications. Unfortunately, even if it is defeated, I fear anything the GOP comes up as a replacement will also be horrendous.

The one bright spot is that apparently the Senate took out the court provisions. I am greatly relieved that this is one attack against our besieged court system that has been thwarted. As it is, the Supreme Court seems to be collaborating with Trump to undermine the justice system and rule of law. The last thing we need is for Congress to assist them by manipulating the budget.

I'm not sure what happens next, procedurally. But it looks like the July 4 deadline may be a miss.
