The House is back in session, and it seems they’re hoping to pass what many are already dubbing the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” As always, some members are not quite on board. The Senate made a couple of changes, and some in the House have thrown their hands up in dismay, muttering something about it being “not okay.” Despite these setbacks, eager Republicans are pushing ahead, fueled by none other than President Trump himself. He’s quite optimistic, and if past experiences are any indication, he’s used to scooping up victories like they’re candy from a piñata.
Peter Doocy, reporting from the White House, shed light on the bill’s journey, now having cleared another procedural hurdle and standing ready to face a gauntlet of votes on the House floor. Timing is everything, and they are racing against the clock, hoping to have it all wrapped up with a neat bow by the July 4 deadline. Funny enough, at breakneck speed, this plan seems to be ahead of schedule—get out the confetti!
Now, not everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet. Two Republicans voted against the bill in committee, which should give pause for thought. In a House where Republicans can only afford to lose three total votes, these dissenters carry more weight than it might first appear. But have no fear! President Trump is all hands on deck to rally support for what many are calling a historic package. Today might be a quiet day on his public schedule, but backstage, expect him to be working his art of the deal magic.
Looking ahead to Friday, Trump has grand plans for an all-American countdown to the nation’s 250th anniversary. The kind of plans that include some high-flying action—literally. Pilots who had the guts to fly in and out of Iran will grace the event, alongside a spectacle of aircraft that might ruffle a few feathers, especially over at the Fordow nuclear facility. But hey, nothing says “Happy Fourth” like a flyover of F-22s, B-2s, and F-35s, right?
Meanwhile, some congressmen like Chip Roy and Congressman Harris are throwing some curveballs. They’re pondering whether this all adds up and if they’ll cave under pressure—or if more time is needed to grind out a compromise. They seem to be steadfast, for now, but who knows what a few months will bring? As for the rest of the nation, many are holding out for the bill’s promised mammoth tax break. No taxes on tips and overtime? It sounds like Christmas came early. More military funding and social security relief are just the cherries on top. Stay tuned, the coming days will no doubt pack a punch.
