Elon is right, members of congress didn’t even know what was in this bill until the night it passed.

Sounds like every other bill passed in the last 100 years.

“You have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it.”

Massie has never had one piece of legislation he sponsored pass into law. The guy is a useless eater.

BUT the Speaker circumvented this rule with a “managers amendment"

Right out of Animal Farm. "All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others. "

Just because we are eager to see the BBB passed successfully, that doesn't mean we should ignore important updates like this. We DEFINITELY want to know what's getting tossed in there... especially the poison pills that could bring the entire thing crumbling down.

Massie may not be your favorite guy, but this is important, and something to keep a sharp eye on. Massie may be doing the MAGA movement the biggest favor ever by pointing this out.

Congress has abdicated its responsibilities to the point where I don’t even think they read the bills. They are supposed to run oversight on agencies (e.g., EPA) but those agencies pass rules and regulations that end up being Full Employment Acts for those agencies. Couple that with kickbacks from NGOs like we see in USAID and it becomes obvious that the bureaucrats run the gov’t. Haas one dime of the USAID graft been returned or the administrators put in jail. No. And until Bondi and Patel start throwing crooks in jail, this Republic is in dire straights.

Either get legislation passed that includes 90% of Trump's agenda or lose your job.

Nothing else matters.

Great timing Massie. Put a sick in it and don’t kick the Pres while he is dealing with Baby Boy Musk.

Does anyone even read the things in the bill?

Trump on Truth Social lists them precisely in several posts.

So many don’t understand what can be done and not done in a reconciliation bill.

The biggest takeaway is no filibuster. Seems some Congressional members even forget that. Discretionary spending cuts change the rules and will be filibustered.

In this climate, the Dems could get everything they like but would filibuster it anyway.

Remember in 2017 when President Trump said, “I should have come out against the wall and the Dems would demand it”?
