Keeps the Trump tax cuts.
Increases requirements for Medicaid and benefits.
No Tax on Tips and Overtime.

Rep. Ilhan Omar

This abomination of a bill gives $150 BILLION for immigration enforcement.

And they’re paying for it by cutting MEDICAID and SNAP.

They want to take food off your table and healthcare from your family to fund a police state.

Unconscionable.

You know a bill is great when a handful of Republicans won't pass it, unlike the May 2023 Ceiling Uncap & Megaspend they voted for.

Very easy on Xiden, very tough on Trump.

This bill disqualifies tons of immigrants from medicaid, which is why GOPe is so dead set against it.

Some Woo editorial.

GOP Congressman just texted me:

“I was undecided on the bill but then I watched Hakeem Jeffries performance and now I’m a firm yes.”

If you think they were going to go after rich Americans---you'd be wrong.

There's an easy way to go after the rich that they would barely notice. The Dems are just retarded. Get rid of the SS payroll cap. If you make $500k you pay all the SS out of your check. It doesn't stop at $160k income or whatever it is. You still get SS but when you retire you still only get the max you would have not more because you paid more.

Not redoing the math but that would roughly put about $60-100B into the SS fund ANNUALLY. If you were making $500k before getting SS, you're not going to even notice the difference. You should have invested and have plenty of your own money for retirement. And you still get your SS, the payout is just capped when you retire.

The Dems keep saying tax the rich. How? There's never a plan. It would kind of hurt my family, but 6.2% or whatever it is to SS is pretty trivial on about $200k for us once the cap hits, at least for the wife. There's easily 3M families in this position. Our hit would be about $13k. Sucks, but I want SS to be there when my kids and grand kids are older.

Also for the work freaks, guys like Fauci that had a do nothing job. At 59-1/2 you cannot receive a pay increase in government. I'm talking any position. You're paid enough, you have medical and a pension. I don't know the numbers I'd guess that's in the 100's of billions. You can retire and start a business or something, but you can't just keep doing a job that likely requires nothing at that age except being present.

The reality is with tech, is it outpaces the knowledge of the person. So if you want to work to 70-75, you're actually more inefficient even with knowledge through the years. Why should the government pay you a high salary?

My infallibly wrong future predictor was right for a change. Dr. Strange Trump got it by on razor thin margins as a show of prestidigitation force.

Trump to sign the BBB on July 4th as planned.

PP defunded
USAID defunded
Tax cuts permanent
Big Tip & Overtime deduction
ICE / DHS funding beefed up to levels necessary to deport millions.

Never Bet Against Trump.

Now watch Trump be a wise guy and veto the bill.....

I hopium so.

^^^^ if true, and I’m not conceding it is, it will mirror the Dems stranglehold on US politics from the 30’s to the 70’s where the only Republican president was Eisenhower and the Dems hel the Senate and the House almost the entire time.

Dems replace Big Beautiful Bill with their Big Beautiful Bullshit. Weeping on the steps of Congress? This is what I voted for.

When Trump fixes the Federal elections with paper ballots and same day on site and hand counted on site ID voting, most of them in the Fed elections will be gone without the empowerment of election fraud. They have eighteen months more of subversion and they know it. The state voting will follow when the corruption is broadcast. I imagine quite a few seeing the end is near will be jumping ship to State's evidence as well to avoid their harvests of greed and corruption. Maybe all the chronic bullshit of 'arrests' will become a material reality.

Eighteen months is still a long time to do damage, but they may fragment in the meantime. One would hopium. Hail Satan!

OK, let's see what's in it:

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/sledgehammer-friday-july-4-2025-c

Immigration got the biggest boost. A $30 billion allocation supercharged ICE’s operational footprint, including for expedited removals, detention expansion, and interjurisdictional deputization under the INA, allowing local law enforcement officers to be deputized as federal immigration agents.

A $10 billion “State Border Security Reinforcement Fund” allows states to apply for substantial grants to fund their own enforcement activities—provided they cooperate with federal priorities. This embeds a federalism-based enforcement surge within DHS control, allowing the Executive to co-opt state forces without surrendering state supremacy.

States that don’t cooperate won’t get paid. Sorry.

OK, that sounds good for US citizen wages.

The bill mandates expansion of biometric tracking for aliens at their entry, including DNA sampling, broadening the executive branch’s surveillance and identification net for both lawful and unlawful entrants.

Those who come illegally should have their DNA sampled, but it seems rude to legitimate visitors. I would not put up with that as a tourist.

First, conservative critics complain that OBBBA blows the budget. The truth is, the bill contains a historically high level of cuts— nearly $1.5 trillion. The larger, offsetting ‘increases’ everyone is complaining about are estimates provided by the CBO, which is restricted by various rules that preclude it from accounting for things like increased tax revenues from economic growth or tariff earnings.

In other words, the CBO’s estimate is a bad guess, and the Administration adheres to its claim of a budget surplus.

I'd like to see irrefutable cuts to the federal budget, like the old Trump used to call for.

Second, liberal critics hysterically cry that it cuts Medicare for the neediest citizens! But all anyone has to do is read the bill, and that lie is easily exposed. All the bill includes are commonsense tweaks to eligibility for welfare, like minimal work requirements for able-bodied recipients. The reason you’ll never see any actual bill language quoted by critics is because it’s simply not there.

Interesting. Maybe it is simply not true that it cuts Medicare.

What the DemonDems are also weeping about is the BBB funding for FBI and DOJ to continue investigations and indictments. They were starting to run on dry.
