Whispers

A Republican operative shared that many on the Red Team in Congress are having buyer’s remorse for the Medicaid cuts, but they’re going to wait until things start to break before they fix it. Should be on schedule for the 2028 Presidential election season and the blame will be aimed squarely at the Blue Team.

By god they did it. President Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Budget Bill” on the Fourth of July. Cue the fireworks.

It’s gonna be a long night… but this Big Beautiful Budget Bill might actually pass.

It’s Vote-a-rama time folks! Looks like the “Big, Beautiful, Budget Bill” is a go despite it adding $3.3 Trillion to the deficit while kicking more than 12 million Americans off Medicaid / Affordable Care Act healthcare.
