Rep FItzpatrick will vote yes ONLY if he gets money and weapons for Ukraine..

Talk about America Last. The jumped up peckerwood is upset about the bill not tackling debt enough, but wants to spend mo' money - and not for America. The cognitive dissonance is deafening. What a POS.

Sometimes the “Good” as you see it is a gift to the Dems in 2026—and that is very much a “Bad”.

I have become convinced over time that the majority of the members of Congress, and especially their staffs, are focused almost totally on what’s best for themselves. Also, I believe most members are basically ignorant or indifferent to the consequences of what they do. Term limits have become an absolute necessity for all elected officials and judges.

And probably a nice kickback for himself.

This guy is the most liberal "Republican" in the House. He was an FIB special agent and federal prosecutor, and we now know what that can mean. He promotes himself by claiming to be "fiercely independent", and is endorsed by multiple gun grabber groups and labor unions. By "independent" he means that he will work with either side as long as it benefits him. He's a slippery slithering snake.

“One of the crucial holdouts was Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has been at odds with Trump over the megabill for weeks. During the call with Trump around 1 a.m. Thursday, Massie suggested he was ready to drop his opposition and support the rule if the president stopped attacking him, The Hill’s Mychael Schnell reported.”

Ha ha.

betting he doesn’t want to give Trump the victory to showoff in his speech later in Iowa.

Essentially daring the hard-liners to derail President Donald Trump.

“increased spending by $90 billion”

To voters who actually pay attention to the bill, it all comes down to spending $90 billion money we don’t have on things we want a like a drug addict...but don’t need.

I’m enraged that the Senate version removed the ban of medicaid funding for “transgender” care. There is no excuse for Republicans funding this. Also, making SS benefits non-taxable is an imperative.

I would hope the House would reinsert this ban on funding and tell the Senate that it’s a non-negotiable.

funding for “transgender” care.” ...
just one of many spending items that make no sense and
cannot be justified by any reasonable person.
