Mike Johnson: "The reconciliation bill was a big, giant leap forward, but we're gonna do this again. We're gonna have a second reconciliation package in the fall, and a third in the spring of next year."

It'll be a LOT sooner than that when foreign lenders demand significantly higher rates on the debt with no signs the US is serious about cutting the deficit. Ask Canada in 1994-95 how that worked - austerity was forced onto them.

I am looking forward to the first candidate who runs on taxing billionaires into oblivion. Then doing it again in the fall and again in spring.

Never happening by the fall the rich are going to be complaining that their hotel rooms aren't getting cleaned, restaurant service is awful and they can't find a gardener.

Insanity. They want to destroy this country. We need to protest in larger numbers! July 17th—find your local protest!!! I hope every voter who cares and who’s senator or representative voted for this evil bill calls them to tell them that they will not vote for them in 26 or 28. 202-224-3121

No irony at all in calling it a "great leap forward." How many of Mao's minions died in his? I can't seem to remember. Oh wait, it was like 40 million people-mostly rural folk. Past is prologue.

He might as well be telling MAGA voters, "we just screwed you royally, but we're gonna screw you again in the fall and then again in the spring." Be careful what you wish for.

Whether or not they do this, it is all psychological warfare, intended to demoralize and tamp down the opposition. If we're spending energy on worrying/fighting this, it will lower the effort to fight on other fronts.

They won't be happy until every American citizen is poor, hungry, and sick. Begging for scraps while working 12 hours a day. There'll be a group of about 100 billionaires owning everything. It's about taking everything possible for themselves, creating a slave class. America has fallen

And before it’s all done, our constituents will be PAYING the billionaires to have work and healthcare privileges. Children will be issued based upon global leaders’ urges to ejaculate in something.

At this point, I am rooting for them to keep power in 2026 so they can complete razing this country to the ground. That's what may be needed in order to get rid of them and rebuild from the ashes. It won't be pretty or pleasant, though.

We heard him, they’re going to do it again! You know how to prevent that, right? Are you registered to vote? Are you planning on finding and showing up to a Good Trouble Lives On protest on July 17? Be there! Be loud! Be peaceful and safe!

Too much blithe ignorance in response to these horrific declarations by the speaker and his gang. We need a plan. Now. Any ideas to carry us through this day?

Oh my guess is 💯 repeal the affordable care act since they’re in the killing business, might as well take it to the next level. The spring, probably social security and screw with the constitution. The evil must be on a large scale or they’ll just default to Dementia Don and his dumb ass EO’s.

He is a LIAR! Don’t believe a word that comes out of his or any other Republican’s mouth! Our battle cry should be… THE MIDTERMS ARE COMING, THE MIDTERMS ARE COMING & and VOTE THE SOB REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE & take way their retirement as well as any other benefits they voted for themselves!

If, somehow, the current government no longer sits, can a new government roll back this bill? If my question seems odd: I am Danish and don't know how your state apparatus works :)

Yes, they can. Dems would need control of all 3 branches because MAGA is insane & the only way out is for them to lose their power. A new administration brings new budget bills, all of this could eventually be undone.

Yes a new budget bill can be passed under a new government. Dems need to control the house & senate after midterms next year to prevent further damage. The only way a new bill would be signed into law, undoing all of this madness, is for the president to not be maga because presidents can veto bills

Guess where you will work if you want to eat, feed your family, or get Medicaid in the near future? Those ICE jobs are government jobs, not private sector jobs. Shrink the government much? Not sure how the elderly or kids will handle that assignment.

JFC - at which point do Americans wake up and realize what this Admin is doing to the country? Are you leaving the future to voters who clearly failed history 101? Trumps cult has millions of Americans willing to make the US into the biggest shithole.

Gonna be hard for them to do that when we come after every single member of the gop. When we fuck them all up, they wont be able to speak, let alone do any of the things theyre thinking. Open season on members of the gop! #openseason #86TheGOP #Fucktrump

They want to do genocide and then they’re going to get thirsty for murder and they’ll kill us all. Laughing and giggling the whole time. Pretty sure a few have already completely lost their sanity.
