The GOP House bowed down and worshipped before the GOP Senate and voted for its reconciliation bill lock, stock, and barrel today at 2:30pm, including all the clowns of the House Freedom Caucus

The roll call vote is here.

The $36 trillion national debt will soar.

The interest payments on that debt were $639 billion fiscal year to date at the end of May, and they will soar, too.

The so-called fiscal conservatives of the House Freedom Caucus could have stopped this monstrosity, but they all backed down save for Massie and Fitzpatrick, and they aren't even members.

The entire House Freedom Caucus voted for it. 

 

 




Hakeem Jeffries has finished his speech in the US House, which took 8 hours and 44 minutes, a new record

 



You can't win: State and local government employment is up 175k since January, which more than offsets federal employment down 69k

 The swamp is everywhere lol.

down 69k

up 119k

up 56k

Pressure on the House GOP reconciliation bill holdouts got them all, save one, to flip at 03:23 this morning, finally allowing the bill to come to the floor for debate

Thomas Massie was originally for bringing the bill to the floor for debate, then switched to against that after Trump got testy with him lol, and then switched back to for again after getting Trump to stop criticizing him, at least temporarily.

He'll still vote against this damn thing, and will probably be the only one. 

The debate phase started at 03:30 and is still ongoing.

Hakeem Jeffries is trying to outdo Kevin McCarthy with a marathon floor speech in opposition longer than eight hours and thirty-two minutes. 


In education news, the once great Indiana University has turned its back on Western civilization and purged its traditional degree programs because the children of the barbarians don't enroll in them anymore

 A victory for the mouth breather, Marco Rubio, fellow servant of Mammon.

 


 








Donald Trump has managed to fire a measly 69,000 federal employees since January, state government employees up 56,000 lol

Looks like a lot of federal workers found new jobs lol. 



We had a record average number who were eating but not working in the United States in 1H2025, not seasonally adjusted: 102.65 million

 The seasonally adjusted figure is also a record high: 102.50 million in 1H2025.

 


The Rush Limbaugh/Donald Trump dumb ass unemployment rate was 37.58% in the first half of 2025

 


Trump's own government says he has 103.2 million eating but not working in June 2025

I don't make the rules.

Rush Limbaugh makes the rules.

 


Full time employment in June 2025 rises to 49.83%, first half of 2025 falls to 49.30%, as bad as 2021 or 2017

 

Full time was 49.83% of civilian population in June 2025

Full time was 49.30% of civilian population in 1H2025
