🎉 HUGE!!!!!

This is a BFD…assuming they don’t just fire or blow off the parliamentarian.

🚨 The Senate parliamentarian just disqualified a bunch of provisions from the GOP bill — including Medicaid provider tax language, funding restrictions based on immigration status, spread pricing and one prohibition on gender-affirming care. List via a Democratic budget aide:

Guaranteed they will overrule her on most, if not all, of her objections. Trump and most of his fellow Republicans believe they are not accountable to the people, the Supreme Court, or even their own rules.

“Assuming” is doing a lot of work here

I have no doubt they’ll fire her. And everyone will shrug. I think it’s time for a drink.

Sounds promising, but it’s not over till the fat president sings.

They will just ignore it like they do Court Orders

Guaranteed. And get a new Parliamentarian by decree.

There's a real chance that enough Republicans are playing the game that they don't want these but they don't want to vote against them that this could work.

I was thinking more like they would just disappear the parliamentarian like they are doing to other people.

To fund the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts—where billionaires got richer while working families got crumbs—politicians are now slashing aid for veterans, seniors, and struggling families. It’s not about budgets; it’s about priorities. And theirs are crystal clear: protect the wealthy, punish the vulnerable

JD Vance can also override McDonough in his role as VP and President of the Senate which is what I believe will happen. Yes he can do this

yoyomendez.bsky.social•1 hour ago

Yup.

Didn't Thune commit to following the parliamentarian?

charlesgaba.com•9 hours ago

Yeah, and Trump committed to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, but here we are…

winstonsmith2024.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I bet that Trump is on the phone right now, demanding that Senate Republicans overrule the Parliamentarian. Thune will likely cave.

Truth

I think they either go with the Byrd wash recociliation method or then are subject to the filibuster. The reconciliation process disallows the filibuster.
