House passes Trump's "big, beautiful bill" in razor-thin vote after dramatic all-night session
The House narrowly passed Trump's domestic policy bill Thursday following a dramatic all-night session and days of negotiations.
In a 215 to 214 vote, all but two House Republicans supported the massive budget package — the centerpiece legislation of Mr. Trump's second-term agenda — in a vote that came hours after unveiling an updated version of the legislation that GOP leaders hoped would satisfy enough holdouts.
The measure cleared a critical procedural hurdle in the wee hours of the morning, teeing up the vote on final passage after days of consternation among the House Republican conference.
The bill will now go to the Senate, where some Republicans have already voiced some opposition. Congressional leaders have said they want to get it to Mr. Trump's desk by July 4.
The stupid Republicans just committed political seppuku. It's going to be an all-blue midterms. Trump had better prepare for the impeachment proceedings.
Impeachment means nothing. Trump was impeached twice.
He is, by trying to stack the deck https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/democratic-rep-lamonica-mciver-charged-with-assault-after-skirmish-at-ice-center-new-jersey-prosecutor-says
The effect of this law only takes places at the end of 2026. These pos know their bill is unpopular and they don’t want to see it happening before the midterms. At the same time, it is far enough from the 2028 election so people can forget and get distracted by some new email scandal.
It's the same thing that happened with the last tax bill. Push dates out for the goldfish memory of most Americans to forget and then blame the opposition knowing you can block them trying to change it.
Awww, you think elections and votes still matter. Cute.
Casual reminder that nobody has ever voted themselves out of an authoritarian regime.
Chile, late '80s, Pinochet scheduled a referendum and was voted out. He tried to backtrack, but no one would help so he ultimately left office peacefully.
Ukraine after the 2004 protests.
Ghana in 2000 after decades under Jerry Rawlings.
(Not counting the times when violence and international pressure led to elections that were honored, like Mandela winning in South Africa in the '90s.)
This is far from an authoritarian regime, stop being a drama queen. These histrionics are frankly pathetic.
Courts have stopped like 90% of the shit hey are trying to do. In fact it’s not really clear that they’ve actually achieved anything on the short or long term, other than sending people out to foreign gulags and that may yet have repercussions for them.
People keep voting for them no matter what they do. Republicans are unfixable
Yup. I was occasionally checking r/conservative to see if anyone had doubts, but I stopped bothering. They love every stupid thing the Trump administration does. EVERYTHING.
Why do you say that?
They will rig the midterms. Everything to do that is almost in place.
Which they will do fuck all with.
