Thanks, Gabe! Maybe this belongs in your “questions” post, but could you also cover the non-budget stuff hidden in this bill? I have heard (from not necessarily reliable sources) that it includes validating a lot of stuff in Trump’s executive orders that currently exceeds his authority, such as giving him broad tariff powers, authorizing impoundment or transfer of appropriated funds, sunsetting all regulations after five years, changing federal employee rights, etc. It would be helpful to know what’s really in the bill, as well as what is likely to get stripped out by the Senate’s Byrd rule.
This is the best summary of the Republican infighting over the Big Ugly Bill that I have seen.!
My prediction is that a Senate bill will ultimately need Democratic votes to pass the House. This will be much better, because it will preserve more social spending than any version that the Republicans would pass on their own.
There are ways to put roadblocks in front of trump's big ugly bill. We need to take advantage of Republican infighting. Here's how:
This seems to be a continuation of Johnson’s previous methods. He is willing to put conservative Wish lists up for a vote first, then when they inevitably fail introduce a moderate compromise
Pelosi was truly a gifted politician. Johnson is a swayback hypocrite and his own party is figuring out he wasn’t sent here by Jesus. AS Kathleen stated above, we need to take advantage of Republican infighting. By the way, I wouldn’t trust Hawley as far as I could throw him; another two faced hypocrite.

Mike “Damocles “ Johnson 😎

Poor Mike Johnson, so new and yet so far(from any real power).
Mike Johnson has turned into “Orange Panda’s” bobble head doll.
Set the R trust issues aside for a moment. What about the D's double coverup: Biden's dementia and incurable prostate cancer? RUFKM?
