Not so fast my friend! We still have to wait for the savior of America. Mr. Hakeem Jeffries!

I notice that his fellow travelers seated behind him keep changing. His diaper must be nearly full by now.

The bill isn't as good as it could have been, but it is still good for America
Congress delivers one big, beautiful win for the middle class

Republican legislation makes middle-class tax cuts permanent while expanding child tax credit for families across the country
Democrats Uncork Crazy Talk on the 'Big Beautiful Bill'
Hardly surprising... lol...
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/a...zy_talk_on_the_big_beautiful_bill_152995.html
Democrats can say the wildest and craziest things and know that all those badly named "mainstream" media outlets and fact-checkers won't care in the slightest. Sen. Bernie Sanders can call the Republicans a Stalinist cult. Rep. Pramila Jayapal can call ICE a "terrorist force." It's all fair game.
Somehow I have ended up on several lists for Democrat PACs. The rhetoric in there is pretty fever-swampy. They are very upset after that "Big Beautiful Bill" extending the Trump tax breaks for most Americans passed Congress.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sounded the alarm: "Tim, extreme House Republicans just approved the largest cut to Medicaid and food assistance in American history to fund tax breaks for their billionaire donors. The latest GOP stunt will rip healthcare away from 17 MILLION Americans, jack up our utility bills and take food out of the mouths of children, seniors and veterans. It's disgusting."
"Extreme" Republicans passed a "stunt" to take food out of the mouths of children and "rip health care away" from people. Don't bother noting that Republicans wanted to stop giving illegal immigrants government benefits and wanted to install work requirements for government programs. For example, only 28% of able-bodied adults on food stamps work.
They're trying to raise money from gullible liberals, so there's no need to put any complexity in there.
I also received this from "Speaker Emerita" Nancy Pelosi, who's implying that Jeffries is undercounting how many millions are being harmed by Republican extremists: "House Republicans just voted to CUT Medicaid and food assistance for up to 20 MILLION vulnerable Americans -- including their own constituents -- to give tax handouts to billionaire CEOs. Tim, I don't say this lightly: This bill will usher in a dark and deadly moment in our country's history."
I saw that yesterday. F'ing hilarious.

Something like $200 billion in various agencies. Hoping that some can be cut since none are crossing the border now and at least a million have already self deported.Lots of funding for ICE and deportations as a result of the BBB.
Statement from acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons on passage of One Big Beautiful Bill
"The unprecedented funding for ICE will enable my hard-working officers and agents to continue making America safe again by identifying, arresting and removing the most dangerous criminal aliens from our communities," said ICE acting Director Todd M. Lyons.www.ice.gov
The guys on the border are probably pretty bored now. Amazing difference a president makes.
Democrats have no shame.
There are things I like and very much dislike about Trump. The difference between me and some other people is that I laugh when he goes on a roll like that. Other people lose their minds listening to him.
