My rep is Brandon Gill, and he kneels when told to kneel, so calling him is futile.
He just had another child, yet is still ok with creating this world.
Sad.
It seems like Scotus has already made themselves irrelevant in regard to the 9 to 0 decision to bring Garcia back from El Salvador and it being fully ignored.
What it says:
“No court shall have jurisdiction to review any action taken by the Secretary, the EPA Administrator, a State or municipal agency, or any other Federal agency […] to issue a lease, permit, biological opinion, or other approval.”
What it means:
- If the government approves drilling, mining, or development, even illegally, you can’t sue.
- It applies retroactively, killing lawsuits already in progress.
- Tribes, environmental groups, citizens, even states, lose the right to challenge these approvals in court.
Why it matters:
This guts judicial review, a cornerstone of U.S. democracy. Courts are the only check on executive overreach. This section erases that check for some of the most destructive decisions the government can make.
They are the Anti-Republic, Anti-Constitutional Party.
Just ask them, their every action & deed will prove it true. The Heritage Foundation will author the rest if any doubt remains.
Again, don't keep this only on BlueSky. Reach out to all the reporters looking for big scoops to expose this outrageous bill. They can't silence the media entirely if it means being a accessory to corruption.
So you're not going to share this new piece of information to keep your house from being turned into a mining site then, given you won't be allowed to sue or protest against it?
That's what I thought! The parliamentarian might strip it out in the Senate, if it makes it that far. Of course I think they've already ignored the parliamentarian on another issue.
The bill guts judicial review and dismisses the rule of law. It provides the next steps in a dictatorship and an authoritarian government. If passed, we will become a police state.
This is entirely a fascist regime without question. Republicans in Congress can stop this but are complicit in the destruction of our nation. Throughout history revolution by the people with continued protests in the streets removes dictators but it can take years.
Am I a constitutional illiterate? The president can rewrite the constitution and so can congress? I thought only a constitutional convention with 2/3rds states can do that.
This is absurd! How can the government proceed when locals in areas affected are totally opposed? It essentially renders the American citizens powerless to oppose business intent on raping natural resources!
To be clear, it looks like Sec. 80121 applies to drilling and leasing in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, not everywhere. There's an identical provision in Sec. 80122 for leasing/drilling in the Western Arctic. Terrible and horrible nonetheless.
It sounds like this also removes literal contempt of court in civil hearings of this administration. Without that, there isn't much the judicial branch can do at all to slow things down nor stop anything.
A biological opinion is a study the US Fish & Wildlife Service must prepare to determine what measures must be taken to ensure federal agency actions don't jeopardize endangered species. This provision appears to mean there'd be no way to hold FWS accountable when they screw up their analysis.
Fascism isn’t just a political problem—it’s a spiritual one.
It corrodes truth. It rewards bullies. It teaches people to survive by shrinking their souls.
Gotta wonder where all those fierce libertarians who voted Trump are now? A 1k deep bill to rewrite the constitution and let the corrupt government act without control. Curtis Yarvin in action.
Incredibly disgusting... my question, that I'll throw into the internet ether, is that the judicial branch is ALSO supposed to be a check on the legislative branch... so, if this passes, if we can't sue the executive branch, can't we sue the legislative branch to get this ruled as unconstitutional??
They only win if the judicial branch doesn't serve as the check to the legislative branch, which my limited understanding is also constitutionally required. The wording of the section title... Silencing/preclusion... seems almost the definition of overreach for which a judicial check seems required.
After all, the courts HAVE been taking action against EXECUTIVE overreach, but what about LEGISLATIVE overreach, which this seems to be clearly what this part of the bill is aiming to do??
Sounds to me like 47 is trying to distract big time today…
Wants his big ugly bill to pass and doesn’t want Americans to notice Medicare is on the chopping block too!
Spread everywhere!
This is the rhetoric they continue to slide in time and again. Once they get one through, they'll move on with even more.
I have a feeling that even if this were to be included in the final bill, an immediate challenge with SCOTUS would quickly commence, but who knows how that would play out.
“No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued….”
Basically, pulling away the judges powers to hold anybody responsible – legally.
Right now, judges are being very lenient
And I think the “administration” is working hard to pass this bill as quickly as possible so that they can actually legally say “fuck you” to the judges.
It’s big billionaire bill, stop giving platform to their talking points because that’s how they keep power over the narrative. Gotta stop accepting their dumbed down idiocy as the new norm or accepted way to communicate.
Yeah... How I read it is they could use drilling or really any land lease to sell (more like "give") Alaska back to Russia. Which may be the goal here.
That would give Russia a beachhead to invade the US and Canada.
Now will you idiots drag his ass out and toss him in the ocean? Or does he have to explicitly tell you he's a dictator for life before you get rid of him?
What would you call 6600 troops, tanks, and fighter jets he has summoned for his little shit eating birthday party? Motherfucker’s about to cross the Rubicon.
I don’t want to end up in a detention center. We don’t have a first amendment anymore. I can’t speak freely without being jailed or threatened with imprisonment.
This is the destroy America bill. I don't know why there is not mass strikes in the streets. This passes, and it's GG for America. And the remaining free world can't attack your military arsenal and live. Horrifying.
There are protest going on around the country but I don’t think in the sense of what this person is talking about. We had one huge one with around 5 million and then it dropped from there. I truly feel a lot of people really don’t know what is going on. I could be wrong though
I have called my Representative and my Senator and told them not to support this. They both claimed not to know about anything like this in the bill. They both said that the orange one supports the bill, and it all is good. God help us. 🚫MAGA
I remember when Rs refusedvto pass a Dem bill because there were unrelated matters in one bill. Hmmmm. Wonder how ending judicial authority is the same as tax policy? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Two trans women have been arrested for being unhoused, and our shelter dedicated to safeguarding trans women faces imminent closure due to inadequate funding.
It also is not a budget item. This alone, although there are other examples, should suffice to prevent this from passing on 50+1 in the Senate, but rather be subject to the filibuster. Then it is up to Schumer to do the right thing. Sigh.
Yep! Once this regime purges Soldiers loyal to the Constitution and not Trump, it's GG! I don't want this to be true, I don't, but ruse up or die under tyranny now
Anyone else here - besides me - really, REALLY, R E A L L Y want to see the entire regime, its Congressional enablers, and all its foot soldiers 86'd???
a bill that will make Trump absolute dictator. First it strips Medicaid, Medicare, gives him the power to overrule judges. Please call 202-224-3121 capital switchboard will connect you to your senators, or use the 5Calls app will connect and give you a script if you Please STOP THIS BILL!
In my opinion, this is the real threat. Not because all the other provisions aren't criminally negligent and an abandonment of the principles of representative government, but that it removes the final defense, short of violence, of democracy against fascism.
The addition of “biological opinion” makes me worried this is going to be used for much more than just EPA decisions and the like, including healthcare and reproductive right challenges, but I am of course not a lawyer.
It sounds like they intend to use it to enforce all of their bullying and terrorism. If we have no judicial recourse, we are at their mercy. Which they are in short supply of.
Biological Opinion is a document produced by Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service that renders a decision on protections and mitigations to endangered or threatened species… has nothing to do with human health.
Thank you for telling me this, that’s at least comforting to know! It’s still not a good bill and is an overreach but knowing it’s not quite as far reaching is comforting.
Agreed! Bad enough that they are trying to kill the Endangered Species Act and prevent legal challenge to what will be hasty authorizations for development.
How does this provision make it through reconciliation? I thought provisions passed through reconciliation had to involve one of these: to change laws providing for spending, to change laws providing for revenues, and to change the
public debt limit.
You know how long it would take me to read 1,100 pages? If I were interested in the material, it could take a year. If I was not interested, I wouldn't get past the first few pages.
Thank you! I was trying to find the original source. I found one document but the sections aren't the same as the sections cited in the original post. Just wanted to see the original language.
Says a lot about how we all became too complacent. Too scared to read a document? We are all gonna have to get a lot more courage now. Lessons learned.
We became complacent living our lives, I have been thinking about this. The majority of people in the US expect leaders to honor their oaths of office . It is not a bad trust, it has kept the country going. We have to continue dialog.
We have to revolt against what’s happening. Otherwise we’re going to die behind our complacency. This regime is showing us the consequences of our complacency on an hourly basis.
And that’s the problem. Hardly anyone wants to dig in and read things any more. It’s like no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get anyone to read even the first 50 pages of the Mueller report. And there are other more recent examples of things where just a skim read was informative, but ignored.
I read Robert Kagan’s “Rebellion” about a month ago, it was a hard read mainly because it is a non flattering look at the historical politics of the US - grounded in slavery and the continuing mentality that supports the divisions
Because its a Cult... it grew huge via social media... and Cults are virtually unstoppable if all the powers that be are sucked into it too. And enough of them are.
Its not co-equal if the people on one side are infected by a Cult, and they have even a sight majority.
They won just now, in the House... by ONE VOTE... while voting FOR the "Big Beautiful Bill"... the one that has the potential of scooting trump's butt right up into an emperor's throne.
Well, I hope they forget to include a severability section in the bill. That way, when the courts strike the bar to judicial review as unconstitutional, the entire funding bill will be stricken. Then the dumbass MAGAs will have to start over. These freaks are desperate. As if no one tried it before.
So how long have I been saying it? #Republicans are killing children, women, immigrants, the poor... I forgot to add the elderly. They are murderers. As @meidastouch.com is now agreeing, there no mincing words. Cheaper guns & tanning beds, though. https://www.youtube.com/live/YWtCUIba8XU?si=Jkh4YVYZ648TTtVo
I wish the gop would grow a pair! They are not voting in representation of their constituents, they are voting to make a fat slob who doesn't give a 💩 about democracy, the people, or the earth happy!
Wasn't there some oath Republicans in Congress took, maybe 2011, whereby every bill would have to cite its Constitutional relevancy by specific Article and Section, etc.? Whatever became of that requirement?

Why don't they just write
"nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in do-do"
We make ALL the rules, and YOUuuuU DON'T! HA HA!

None of the Justices will be willing to give up Judicial power to oversee government agency actions.
Ten years of it and you havent figured that out?
Time to go "extra judicial". America is no longer a nation of laws. Get your bumpstocks and suppressors (silencers) before supplies run out!
Rual America, that is dumb as shit!
Very unconstitutional.

Biology is science, not opinion?
Although I'm keen to replace "screw up" with "are ordered to falsify".
They can’t be sued for anything at that point.
It corrodes truth. It rewards bullies. It teaches people to survive by shrinking their souls.
But then it's a free for all.
And keeping me from arresting Trump personally. Though all of this above might not stop me.
Resolve to:
1) hold all Dems to account for a “no” vote on the bill
2) hold Repubs who said they opposed Medicaid cuts to account, e.g. Josh Hawley (https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/05/12/congress/hawley-medicaid-cuts-warning-00341545)
3) CALL your Senators NOW!
4) spread the word!
Wants his big ugly bill to pass and doesn’t want Americans to notice Medicare is on the chopping block too!

This is just as bad, if not worse.
It crowns him king.

The REGIME is declaring war on its citizens.
That would give Russia a beachhead to invade the US and Canada.
You folks don’t need a hero. You need a million angry Americans shutting DC down.
B: We're all toast anyway.
Why are you complying in advance?
History has *clearly* shown us where this is leading to. Fight back now, or many more will perish.
It's all so overwhelming.
Tell them “Now you know- stop it. Or I will spend what free will I have left to ensure you never get votes again.”
Called the Speaker office, and one time the poor intern tried to gaslight me. Didn’t let it work and I keep calling.
"Do these tax cuts make my deficit look fat?"
