When ordinary Republicans understand how Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" would affect the after-tax incomes of American families, it turns out they don't find it beautiful at all.

When was that?

George Washington, as the first U.S. President, played a key role in establishing the nation's financial system, including proposing and overseeing the first federal budget.

The legislative process begins with a member of the Senate or the House of Representatives introducing a bill. The bill is assigned a unique identifying number, which it retains through both sessions of the current Congress. Each session is one year, and each Congress is two years.

When the republic was at the beginning, a CEO was needed to shepherd policy. If you have to go back that far, you're a dummy.

Well, rural America -- you can rest easy that they won't be doing gender switcheroos in your hospitals and having kids use litter boxes in your schools because it turns out you just aren't going to have hospitals or schools.

It's all on you now states.

Lee: The president is legally required to propose a budget, it's the beginning of a process where Congress ultimately determines and enacts the final federal budget

What happened to all the anger and fury over large bills packed with pork and unrelated stuff being passed without anyone being able to read them?

Dropping FEMA funding too. Red states are going to suffer the most from this whole bill.

Again, Trump is the biggest mistake that red states have made since the civil war

"until all the money moves."

Money is already fleeing the United States faster than Trump can deport illegal hairdressers.

This is called "capital flight"
It usually only happens to poor countries, and it never ends well.

All the Republicans, certainly.

For the record, are you for or against this BBB, which borrows trillions and trillions more, mostly to give away in expiring tax cuts?

"Thom Tillis says he will retire following Trump attacks

The two-term North Carolina senator was expected to contest one of 2026's toughest races.

Tillis made the announcement after voting "no" on a procedural vote to advance President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" " the cornerstone of his domestic policy agenda. Trump subsequently attacked Tillis in a series of social media posts.

"In Washington over the last few years, it's become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species," Tillis said in a statement."
