Good article for those that never read, the Big, Beautiful Bill. It’s full of lots of surprises and will create deficits given the unusual rating system used to evaluate its fiscal impact and it’s all on the Republicans & Trump.

Love this video, seen many times, a riff on “Citizen Kaine” I believe. Basically challenge mindset, that as long as doesn’t affect me - all ok. The speaker rages on about “purifying” nation with white Christian Americans. Sound familiar?

A lot of critical legislation, appropriation bills to be processed, and doing job as law makers instead of Trump, who thinks EO’s are law. Johnson just avoiding having to make modifications to CR, as may be more GOP members wanting to keep health subsidies in bill after meeting with Constituents. 2.

Out entire month of August, last legislative vote 9/17 & closed House for month of October. The failure with passing of CR is more & more Republican Senators are voting against the GOP House bill which would eliminate subsidies for health care. Johnson also avoiding swearing-in of elected Dem Rep. 1

It was pretty bad, but I still love video of him walking aimlessly during presentation of troops with Queen Elizabeth BEHIND him, trying wave him about like one of her Corgis. Just lost in the moment, thinking all just for him. Not escorting that “elderly woman” walking behind him. So little class.

What’s Barbaric” is sending them to 3rd countries - dangerous ones. El Salvador, that horrific prison, no convictions, records of crimes, or even being gang members. Some were even asylum seekers.
Thank God, Venezuelan president stepped in. And DHS sent these “criminals” AGAINST judge’s order. 3.

Debbie @laxmom1957.bsky.social · 3d

Had they already been tried and jailed in US prisons and ICE is just pulling convicts out and announcing “arrests”? It appears that one did get sentenced for a crime, served 4 years and out on parole at time “arrested”. Another, “sentenced” for burglary & firearm possession - that’s “Barbaric”? 2.

DHS is certainly a political arm - so all judges who rule against Trump are “Activist Judges”. So, with one exception, the ICE arrests took place after Trump’s election. Were there trials? If so, pretty fast. Were crimes committed in US? Against US citizens or immigrant on immigrant? 1.

This is a bad sign for 2026. If the Democrats win the House majority, are you sure Johnson will swear them all in? I bet they claim fraud as a basis to not yield the majority. Who would stop the GOP from doing this? I don’t expect the DOJ or Supreme Court to enforce the law.

FFS, be honest, it’s about extending subsidies (to those who qualify) for healthcare via ACA. No plan to help those needing subsidies, just want cancelled. You have also, in clear violation of House Rules, closed the floor for debate or discussion. Incl. leaving DC until just days before deadline.
