The Senate will vote NO for the BBB, but the Senate bill will still be good for the rich and bad for the rest of us. BUT, for those screaming fiscal responsibility, not funding what they want with taxes that are fair and reasonable for the rich is gong to cut it. Will they save MediCaid and Medicare cuts? Veterans cuts? If so, what will they cut to keep those cuts? The military?

If they are not willing to stop the clearly corrupt behavior of their boss, which is the right thing to do, they aren't going to protect us.

Rick, I have additional questions about the “Big Beautiful Bill” that I’m hoping you can address. There is information circulating that states that, hidden in the pages of this bill are provisions such as giving the president the authority to delay or cancel elections, giving the president the authority to ignore the Courts (contempt of court goes out the window), identifying and criminalizing protesters, and much more. What do you know? This does seem like his hidden agenda, and one that won’t merit the immediate outcry caused by actions such as cutting Medicaid. Yet, in the long run, it could be far more dangerous because it causes us to fast forward into a possibly irreversible dictatorship.

Then the Dems have no choice but to go Full Mitch McConnell and throw every last thing in their power to block this monstrosity, even if it means a government shutdown.

The Dems still control the Senate. Why can't they Byrd bath all the shit out that's not allowed in a reconciliation bill, all the non-budgetary stuff?

The dems control nothing. The gop controls the house and senate.
