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.

You can't make this up!
Cowards hope someone else will do what must be done.
Heroes do it themselves.
Vote Nay for once!

House GOP votes for tax breaks for rich Democrats from Blue states like New York, New Jersey, and California lol
If the House provision is enacted, the SALT cap would rise to $40,000, up from $30,000 in the previous plan, and phases out over $500,000, according to revised language released by the House Rules Committee. The provision would go into effect in 2025. ...
“Any changes to lift the cap would primarily benefit higher earners,” Garrett Watson, director of policy analysis at the Tax Foundation, wrote in an analysis on Tuesday.
With an income phaseout over $400,000, the top 20% of taxpayers “would be the only group to meaningfully benefit,” Watson wrote. ...

Some of what Dark Brandon said in 2022 is what some Democrats still want their leader to say today in 2025
Trump & Co. already know they're going to lose in the mid-terms
It's going to be a wait that seems like an eternity.
Reported here:
... The same person added that Trump sees little downside politically: 'No. 1, the president is not running for reelection. And No. 2, we're probably gonna lose the House in the midterms.' ...
Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) was blunt in his warning: 'If tariffs did have an inflationary impact - or an impact on interest rates that caused inflation and the economy moved toward a recession - that would be a very bad thing… It would turn the Trump presidency from a four year term into a two year term, because we'd lose in the midterms.' ...

Democrats united under Hakeem Jeffries in the US House are the only ones in American politics above water right now
US House Democrats voted unanimously against the Republicans' continuing spending resolution under -4.2 underwater Republican Speaker Mike Johnson (except for Democrat Jared Golden [ME-2], a Blue Dog Democrat who under ranked choice voting in Maine wins by being the second choice of people who voted for someone else).
Senate Minority Leader Democrat Chucky Schumer (-19.6) led eight other Democrats in the US Senate to pass the continuing spending resolution.
Republicans are jumping the shark. Opposing that is popular.
Democrats, are you listening?
