They cornered us all at the edge of cliff. So people are starting to fall off. Go figure.

did it pass?
Passed the Senate, on to the House.
House is split 220 Republicans, 212 Democrats, 3 vacancies.
217 votes to pass. Republicans can lose 3 votes and it still passes. 216 is a tie vote with no process to break ties in the House, the bill fails.
Can't wait to see all the Republicans that said, "I wouldn't have voted yes if I knew x was in it" still vote yes even though x is still in it.

"Republican Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday that despite voting in favor of the sweeping tax and spending package, she wants the House to return the "One Big Beautiful Bill" to the Senate for further work."
Bitch, you HAD your chance to vote "No" and you voted "Yes".

"The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined Democrats and voted no."
All it would have taken was Murkowski's vote to kill it and she FAILED.
Has to go through the house but it will. Don't even kid yourself. It will pass.
