President Donald Trump's promised, signature legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB--cry more, Chuck), passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 218-214, on an expected party line vote (aside from the two Republicans who voted against it). The White House announced that Trump will sign the bill into law at 5:00 p.m. EST on Independence Day, July 4. Love the bill or hate it, as former VP Biden said when Barack Obama's the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) legislation passed, this is a big, effin' deal.
Probably an even bigger one. It took Nancy Pelosi over nine months to ram through Obamacare, and she had to do it in the dead of night on Christmas Eve. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) got 'er done in five months, pulled an all-nighter to make it happen, and Americans and the world were actually watching... save for that eight-plus-hour screed by Democrat Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
With Trump's court wins of late, his spearheading a still-established ceasefire between Iran and Israel, and international trade deals, the president deserves all the plaudits and praise he will be receiving over the next few days.
Like clockwork, the Democrats, the Left, and the legacy media took to X to kvetch, complain, and spin... badly.
President AutoPen, or whatever unfortunate soul manages his X profile, weighed in.
And it could trigger deep cuts to Medicare while driving up the deficit by $4 trillion. All of this to give a massive tax break to billionaires.
Working people deserve better.
His "Word Salad Wanda" VP also needed to ensure you knew she is still around.
Republicans in Congress have voted to devastate millions of people across our nation — kicking Americans off their health care, shuttering hospitals, eliminating food assistance, and raising costs. This is Project 2025 in action.
Project 2025? They really cannot let it go.
Not to be outdone by Jeffries' act of attention whoredom to delay the passage of the bill, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) decided she needed to make a video weeping in front of the Capitol after the votes were cast.
Someone needs to do a cut of that video with Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" playing underneath.
Meanwhile, in California, The Failure King, Governor Gavin "Hair Gel" Newsom, who is being sued by the federal government, cannot seem to manage to shut his yap.
Newsom betrayed the people of California a thousand times over and has saddled them with yet another gas tax. If someone managed to channel his fauxrage and puffery into a source of energy, California wouldn't have any fuel or grid problems. Bet on it.
Speaking of royalty, the progeny of the once-revered Kennedy family and failed political wife also had thoughts. Shriver's family sexually assaulted, robbed, killed innocents, and bamboozled the American people for decades, but she's still deluded that outside of her cousin "Bobby" (HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.), the name has any weight.
My, oh, my. So many of us called. So many tried to stop this, but in the end, fear and pressure got the best of them. Some dared not defy the president, others like Murkowski focused solely on their own state and not on the country. This is where we are. So many do not know what’s in this bill. So many don’t even realize how it will impact them in really profound ways. Detrimental ways. On the eve of our country’s birthday, we can only continue to work towards a more perfect union. One that honors and supports those who need support to live, survive, and access healthcare in a hospital or in their own home. We can be righteously angry, but we cannot give up! #abovethenoise
And it wouldn't be a Republican victory without Killary weighing in, decrying the bill as "historic theft" from the poor. The people of Haiti would like a word, Mrs. Clinton.
Or the histrionics of AOC, who took Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to task for doing her job of gaining deliverables for the people of Alaska in order to get her vote for the bill.
Now that ICE is fully funded through the OBBB, those 17 million illegals won't need Medicaid anyway. So, cry more, Sandy.
But no hot takes piece would be complete without the average Democrat voters and organizations being polled. You can divide them into three categories:
Those for whom the sky is always falling.
Those who peddle their BlueAnon conspiracy theories.
And finally, those who find every opportunity to get their grift on.
Of course, when it comes to the grift, the Democrat Party is running out of ways to do their money laundering, but Lord knows they'll keep trying.
Editor’s Note: Celebrate the OBBB's passage with us!
