This guy chose poorly.

Even Victoria Spartz (born in Ukraine) voted for the bill.

Clyde? Isn’t that the name of Ahab the Arab’s camel? At least according to Ray Stevens.

So the Bill in the House actually passed now? I saw earlier today that President Trump was planning on signing it tomorrow, but at the time they were still debating the damn thing.

From wikipedia, says it all: “Fitzpatrick represents the wealthiest congressional district in the state of Pennsylvania.[3]”

“In the end, the four other ‘no’ votes—Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Victoria Spartz (R-IN), Keith Self (R-TX), and Andrew Clyde (R-GA)–all fell in line with the eight or so other holdouts.”

Interesting indeed.

I read that Fitzpatrick voted no, because of reduced funding for Ukraine in the Bill. He’s a doucebag. He refused to vote for permanent tax cuts for the middle- class in favor of sending more money from the middle-class to Ukraine. What an idiot. I hope he’s primaried and gone in 2026.

The commentators say his district went to Harris so he had to find an excuse.

For those of you concerned with the huge spending in the BBB, know this — even with the Big Beautiful Bill now passed, rescission remains a live option for cutting spending, though its scope and political viability are more limited post-enactment.

Rescission is a presidential tool to propose canceling previously approved budget authority. Under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the president can send a rescission request to Congress, which then has 45 days to approve it via a simple majority in both chambers.

Procedurally, rescission is still viable because it applies to unobligated funds — even after a bill like BBB is passed.

Politically, it’s trickier. The BBB passed by a razor-thin margin (218–214), and any rescission effort could reopen intra-party tensions, especially it targets programs that moderates or rural-state Republicans support.

Strategically, rescission could serve as a pressure valve for fiscal conservatives who feel the BBB didn’t go far enough in cutting spending.

Know this — rescission is still on the table — but it’s more of a scalpel than a chainsaw. It won’t reverse the structural spending increases in the BBB, but it could trim around the edges and signal continued fiscal discipline.

We are between a rock and a hard place, either let it die and risk having the largest tax increase in modern history or pass it warts and all and continue doing rescission later. We need to pressure Congress on this. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance!

219-213?
I’m confused - everyone else is saying 218-214 - and that Massie was a no.

Sychophant journalist. A guy votes on principle and he’s bad?

Those four have no principles, that’s all.

Presidential knee pads earned.

I'm guessing Massie is a lousy poker player.

How Is this story accurate when Speaker Johnson was holding up the paper that showed it was 218-214?
