Senate GOP leaders took a key step toward advancing President Donald Trump’s multi-trillion-dollar agenda in Congress — simultaneously setting off an intraparty war over how to pay for it

Pay for it? But Trump’s bigly genius tariff plan is going to pay for everything.
Trump knows more than anyone about playing the financial markets.
Just look at the raging success* he made of his casinos.
they are derelict in their duties & violating their oaths in fealty to a man and not our country! there is nothing in this bill to help reduce costs to americans only to increase his oligarch buddies bank accounts!
Vote them out in 2026! Every single one of them who supported this abject decimation of American federal services and destroyed the economic prospects for working Americans. Remember and vote 'em out!!
The war won't last. This war is really being waged by the wealthy. The end goal is in sight. They will pay any price to influence the outcome. A few million thrown to each voting congressman will seal the deal. That's peanuts to these people.
Have to admit, blowing up an already impressive deficit whilst dollar looks likely to be dropped as Reserve currency and trade is in decline is definitely 'brave'*
Dear Senate GOP, GOP in general. Read the room. The world hates Trump. Like LOATHES him. By connection the world hates you. I mean HATES you. Do something positive. Do something FOR the American people, the people you serve. Turn your back on Trump. You know very well he will turn his back on you.
Trump never worries about how to pay for things, he just lies on his taxes, commits insurance fraud, in order to get another loan, or just flat out not pay...like he has done to so many contractors, all the states he held rallies for police support, or file bankruptcy repeatedly. He is a con-man.
Trump stuck the American people with $8.4 Trillion to the National Debt, yet has made no effort to pay down the National Debt he created, while pushing Republicans to pass a huge tax break for the rich, by eliminating Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Check his pockets for your wallet.
What about the protests surely they are NEWS! If @cnn.com @msnbc.com and others don't do THEIR job as Journalists and report ethically on the relevant up to date NEWS such as the vast amount of protests, you will lose customers lose face and lose your PROFESSIONALISM Report the truth as it happens
Just perfect. Squander TRILLIONS of dollars in retirees’ and everyday people’s savings, cut critical services for those who need them, and give the very wealthy more. Disgusting.
The GOP aims to bankrupt the average American, make all but the wealth suffer and, in particular, expose children, seniors and the disabled to food insecurity and health decline.
I'm sorry, was Cory Booker still too tired from his PRACTICE filibuster to actually do it when it actually mattered?!
Because the GOP passed this the way they did, final passage will bypass the filibuster and can be passed by a simple majority. Well done Democrats, well done.
& per @axios.com here’s the chart showing #GOPDeficit #TrumpDeficit #GOPDebt #TrumpDebt if they pass their proposed budget; their zero deficit LIE is pure BS:
