Republicans on Thursday notched the first major legislative victory of President Donald Trump's second term, a mammoth tax and immigration agenda the GOP hopes will reshape the U.S. economy and unwind many of the Biden administration's accomplishments.

The House, in a 218 to 214 vote, passed Trump's so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill," a $3.4 trillion measure to extend tax cuts from Trump's first term and implement new campaign promises -- such as eliminating income taxes on tips and overtime wages -- while spending hundreds of billions of dollars on immigration enforcement and defense. It raises the country's borrowing cap by $5 trillion, staving off a debt default that the Treasury was weeks away from breaching.

The House's approval sends the bill to Trump's desk to be signed into law in time to beat a self-imposed July 4 deadline. The Senate passed its edition of the legislation Tuesday.

To offset the cost of the bill, the legislation cuts about $1 trillion from Medicaid, the federal health insurance program for low-income individuals and people with disabilities, and other health care programs. It reduces spending on anti-hunger programs, including SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program formerly known as food stamps, by $185 billion.

1. Fucking Swine.

[BigDemVoter]

8. Disgusting

Those who voted for these swine will soon realize that voting has consequences.

[Miguelito Loveless]

18. I have come to the conclusion

that none of these people will ever face reality no mater how much pain it causes them and theirs. They can never admit error.

[hadEnuf]

33. It's kind of amusing

watching Republican supporters shoving it up their own asses while laughing and cheering about it.

Congratulations, I guess....

[chowder66]

39. Damn right! They only listen to the bullshit their leaders are slinging. They twist themselves to find hidden

meaning in everything that people other than their overlords say or write.... but when it comes to their own they downright believe anything they say even while they are getting punched in the face by the same people.

[GiqueCee]

25. Sociopaths...

... are incapable of experiencing shame. They would carve their own eyes out with a rusty spoon before they'd EVER admit they were wrong. And, like most sociopaths, they derive immense pleasure from witnessing the pain they cause others.

[COL Mustard]

26. The people to blame

Are the people who couldn’t be bothered to vote last November. Fuck them.

[eggplant]

31. The studies don't agree.

[chowder66]

40. I blame Republicans, their messengers, their sycophants, their think tanks, their plotters and those

that refuse to pull their heads out of their ass. They are the ones that are murdering Democracy and our Constitution.

[Harker]

2. We'll see how quickly the definition of "immigration enforcement" gets twisted and tortured.

[angrychair]

3. Fuck all Republicans

All of them. I, deep, deep, down to my very atoms, hate fucking Republicans.

[GiqueCee]

32. Republicans are rotten down to their DNA...

... otherwise they wouldn't BE Republicans. Malice, greed, pathological selfishness, and a bottomless capacity for mendacity define them all.

[Oeditpus Rex]

47. I divide them into

Republicans and right-wingers. The former are Bill and Betty Null of Ottumwa, Iowa. They watch only locsl news at 5 p.m. and Big Three news at 5:30 before switching to "Wheel of Fortune," their favorite show of all time. Bill has political opinions, but they're rather meek, and he never discusses them with anyone but Betty once in awhile. Betty just says "Uh-huh" without looking up from her knitting. They might vote, but Tuesdays have been their canasta nights for 17 years, and Betty always takes hotdish and a Jell-O mold, so thete might not be time.

Right-wingers, otoh, are the most vile, despicable creatures ever produced in the universe. You've probably heard of some of them. Everybody hates them except other right-wingers, and Bill and Betty Null of Ottumwa, Iowa,who aren't familiar with them.

[angrychair]

50. I respect your opinion

But personally I do not split hairs when it comes to Republicans.
They are all the same. Your metaphorical Bill and Betty are pure evil and I hate them with every fiber in my being. I truly hope every miserable thing they have inflicted on the vulnerable and disenfranchised are visited apon them ten fold.

[Oeditpus Rex]

59. It's not an 'opinion'

It's an observation.

[Pas-de-Calais]

4. Mother heifers

[ificandream]

5. Republicans can burn for this one ....

[quakerboy]

37. we will all burn, unfortunately

Hopefully we the people can survive and build something from the ashes

[LudwigPastorius]

6. "the legislation cuts...$1 trillion from Medicaid, the federal health insurance program for...people with disabilities"

GOP legislated eugenics

Trump and his thralls are really hitting full Nazi stride now.

[COL Mustard]

28. Death panels

In action. Unfortunately a lot of people will see it in person.

[djacq]

7. 110 Percent Pure Shame

The GOP Trump cult can kiss their sweet ass majorities goodbye.

[BlueKota]

12. I hope that's true

but with all the anti-voting legislation they SC 6 are allowing to pass I am not too optimistic.

[Linda ladeewolf]

9. They won the battle, the war is still to be fought.

We will win, they moved too soon.

[BlueKota]

10. There are only two kinds of Republicans

Fuckers and Suckers. No apologies for .
my language.

[littlemissmartypants]

11. I can hardly wait ...

for the blowback.

[Mr.Bee]

13. "One Big Billionaire Bill,"

I say WE THE PEOPLE this Fourth of July
declare OUR independence from these billionaires
who don't want to contribute to this country, to this society,
AND BOYCOTT THEIR CORPORATE BUSINESSES
You know who they are; Amazon, x, Walmart, Dell, Google,
Amazon Prime Day next week?
Ai to run amok and replace workers over the next ten years?
They Got Their Permanent Tax Cut, They Don't Us To Make Them Any Richer!
Shop local. Support your local business, but avoid the big ones.
BOYCOTT!

[Cheezoholic]

17. We will be at war with ourselves by the end of the summer. They will bring down the hammer to stay in power

They know they are going to lose in '26 and there is no way in hell they will let that happen. There is a very black sky on the horizon for the future.

[angrychair]

23. They will not lose

Americans want this. This is exactly what they voted to happen.

[Wiz Imp]

27. Um. Nope.

[Cheezoholic]

30. 30% of Americans wanted cheaper eggs. They threw them all in the fascist basket. Its the non voter that caused this n/t

[angrychair]

36. Not voting is still a choice

Even by not voting they still made this very choice.

[hadEnuf]

35. So a national suicide?

[William769]

20. FML!

[RecoveringJournalist]

21. We all know what needs to happen

Prepare... now.

[cstanleytech]

22. Trump lied.... people died

[Tarzanrock]

24. Now comes soon the Turd economic recession in the Autum and Winter ...

a Winter of manifest discontent followed by the Turd economic Depression in the Spring of 2026. The rich will do just fine and they will make tons of money (just like in the 1930's) -- the rest of America will suffer horribly.

[BigmanPigman]

48. I have the feeling that suicide rates will increase by then.

MAGA's agenda is to bankrupt then kill people.

[Mr.Bee]

29. You Now Know

The Reason For Throwing The Election...

[otchmoson]

Hey, Elon,

Here are 218 congress members who need to be primaried! We're waiting for you to put your money where your mouth is.

41. The motherfuckers got what they wanted... may they all go rot in hell now.

And fuck everyone who voted for the fucking asshole.

[DonCoquixote]

42. np democrats voted for this right?

right?

[BumRushDaShow]

44. Not a single one in either chamber

But 3 Republicans voted "nay" in the Senate (Collins, Paul, Tillis) & 2 Republicans voted "nay" in the House - Tom Massie (who had already said he was a hard "no" ) and Bryan Fitzpatrick, who is in PA-1 (a swing district that voted for Harris/Walz).

[Bayard]

43. There's gonna be a hard rain....

Think we can't get there? Did you ever think we'd get where we are?

[IronLionZion]

45. Thomas Massie (Kentucky) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania) are the only GOP who voted against

The rest of them are cowards.

All Dems voted against.

[Clouds Passing]

46. One Stinkin Ugly Beast

[Lucky Luciano]

49. May all the white trash that voted for this have dangerous health complications in the next year or two.

[doc03]

51. By eliminating taxes on overtime it will eliminate the 40 hour work week.

Before I retired one of the complaints we had with the union was being forced to
work overtime. That kept the company from hiring more people. The last few years I worked
we were being told on Friday how many days we would have to work over the next week.
Now the vast majority of employees will accept working 60 hours or more work schedules with few complaints. There will be much less opposition to working more hours and basically eliminating the 40 hour work week.

[The Wizard]

52. Congress passes

Trump's final solution.

[crimycarny]

53. Sadly--I never doubted the bill would pass

I'm sure many of us (if not all) feel the same way. Any party that would have, as their candidate, the man responsible for the first ever attack on our Capital and any country that would vote for such a completely flawed, sociopathic, wholly unqualified human being as the President, deserves what they get.

I didn't vote for Trump, and I know no one on this forum did, but enough did vote for Trump that our country re-elected the worst person on the planet to lead this country.

We have no government, just the illusion of one. An illusion that is evaporating every day.

So very depressed, angry, and hopeless right now.

[republianmushroom]

54. And the educating of America continues.

Going to be interesting.

[AllaN01Bear]

55. destroy, thats all they do is destroy.

[DENVERPOPS]

56. He will invite all the Media in the U.S.

and make a big celebration out of signing it. Fox news will have it on a looped video running it nonstop tomorrow and the next day.

[CaptainTruth]

57. Fuck them. Fuck them all.

They're enemies of America. I will never forgive any of them.

[Jack Valentino]

58. EVERY SINGLE ONE of these bastards who voted for this bill, is on my

"DEAD POOL 2025" list---

(That is, I am betting that they will die this year! With any luck, at least one and maybe more of them will!)

((and I am NOT advocating violence in this post, before anyone gets their panties in a bunch--
I am just betting that they will die! "EVERYBODY IS GOING TO DIE!" ~ GOP Sen. Joni Ernst ))
