Donald , as usual….
Twist’s arms and Charms others….
Folks?
This is the US House Bill (Adjusted) that got approved by a THIN HAIR….
Do NOT expect the final Bill Trump will sign is a carbon copy of this mornings version…
Lotta stuff in the thing ain’t gonna make a LOT of voter’s Happy…..
House Republicans came together to pass their domestic policy megabill early Thursday, after weeks of internal conflict and last-minute intervention from President Donald Trump.
The 215-214 vote is a major victory for Speaker Mike Johnson, who largely kept his conference together after days of around-the-clock negotiations with holdouts. He kept his promise of passing the measure before next week’s Memorial Day recess. The bill includes a fresh round of tax cuts sought by Trump, as well as hundreds of billions of dollars in new funding for the military and border security.
The vote went almost entirely along party lines. Two Republicans joined Democrats in voting no: Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio. The chair of the hard-right Freedom Caucus, Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland, voted present.
In a rare all-nighter for the House, GOP leaders gaveled the chamber back into session just after 11 p.m. Wednesday evening, forcing lawmakers to work through debate and procedural votes until the bill passed just before 7 a.m. Thursday morning.
“And after a long week and a long night, and countless hours of work over the past year — a lot of prayer and a lot of teamwork — my friends, it quite literally is again ‘morning in America,’” Johnson said in his final floor speech before the passage vote, in a nod to former President Ronald Reagan’s signature 1984 campaign ad.
The speaker called the bill “historic,” “nation-shaping” and “life-changing,” while claiming that it is the “most consequential legislation that any party has ever passed, certainly under a majority this thin.”
Now heading to the Senate, the bill is titled the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” at Trump’s suggestion….
…
The bill now heads to the Senate, where Republicans are expected to tear up many of the policy provisions sought by House GOP hard-liners….
Of course it won’t be a “ carbon copy.”
The question is will it be “ substantially “ the same?
Making a big deal over some minor adjustments here and there is meaningless.
But?
Since you frequently engage in such minutiae,your claim above is unsurprising.
7 things Senate Republicans hate about the House megabill
President Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ could be in for some significant changes.
But Senate Republicans are also making it clear they’re not happy with many policy choices their House counterparts made in order to get the bill through their chamber. With an informal July 4 deadline fast looming, here are seven features of the House bill some GOP senators want to change….
Just saying….
