Cracks Widening in Republican Support for BBB Monstrosity

Rep. Keith Self (RTexas) said Monday President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill," which Republicans are aiming to pass by the president's selfimposed July 4 deadline, was "fiscally criminal." In a post on the social platform X, Self wrote: "The House was clear: no new deficit spending. The Senate isn't listening"their version adds over $1T to the deficit, completely ignoring the House framework. This isn't just reckless"it's fiscally criminal."

The Texas Republican's post highlighted a statement from the House Freedom Caucus's X account that said: "The House budget framework was clear: no new deficit spending in the One Big Beautiful Bill. The Senate's version adds $651 billion to the deficit " and that's before interest costs, which nearly double the total."

It added: "That's not fiscal responsibility. It's not what we agreed to. The Senate must make major changes and should at least be in the ballpark of compliance with the agreed upon House budget framework. Republicans must do better."

Moderate Republicans and staunch conservatives in the House are increasingly pushing back against the Senate's version of the "Big, Beautiful Bill" just days before the lower chamber is scheduled to debate it.
