ICYMI

REP. CHIP ROY (R): Some of us in the House believe this bill falls short.

Too much spending and Green New Scam subsidies left intact.

Tariffs alone won’t fix deficits. Congress must show real restraint and keep our promises to voters and the president.

REP. CHIP ROY (R): Medicaid is already barred from illegals, but states backdoor it using state dollars and still claim federal matches.

The House bill cut off federal funds to states doing this.

The Senate stripped that out. They hid behind the parliamentarian.

E. J. ANTONI: Even with flaws, the Big Beautiful Bill is much better than doing nothing.

If we do nothing, deficits and debt rise even faster, and a $4 trillion tax hike hits in 2026.

This bill slows the rate of spending growth and buys time for more cuts.

BANNON: If you believe in this bill, you have to stand up and defend it.

Republicans can’t keep hiding while Democrats hammer them with talking points.There’s so much good in here.

Learn it. Go on offense. That’s how you win 2026.

BANNON: Every Democrat is on the floor attacking Trump and spinning their narrative.

Republicans are nowhere to be seen defending this bill or the president.

Step up, call out the lies, and fight for this bill!

BANNON: President Trump’s plan depends on 3% growth or higher to revive the economy.

Supply-side tax cuts and tariff revenue will fuel expansion and keep deficits in check.

This is exactly how you spark prosperity.

State of play right now.

Shortly after midnight, Trump began to urge lawmakers publicly to stop delaying and vote.
“What are the Republicans waiting for??? What are you trying to prove??? MAGA IS NOT HAPPY, AND IT’S COSTING YOU VOTES,” he wrote on his social media site Truth Social. Minutes later the president added, “FOR REPUBLICANS, THIS SHOULD BE AN EASY YES VOTE. RIDICULOUS!!!”

Behind closed doors, Trump and Vice President JD Vance spoke to some of the holdouts and worked to get them to end their blockade, Johnson told reporters.
Ultimately leaders flipped GOP Reps. Victoria Spartz (Indiana), Keith Self (Texas), Thomas Massie (Kentucky) and Andrew Clyde (Georgia) to vote yes, while five other members of the House Freedom Caucus cast their vote. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania), one of three moderates representing a swing district Vice President Kamala Harris won in 2024, was the only Republican to vote with all Democrats against the rule.
