Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

And anyone who voted for Trump in 2024 OR switched from Harris to Trump in 2024 should be ashamed of themselves. You voted for Trump, you got war.

US troops clearly deliberately not marching in step, wearing fatigues instead of dress uniforms, and keeping it low energy all the way. Had to be a silent protest.

"I just got back from the Trump parade and I have to say it was legitimately the worst executed mass attendance event I’ve ever seen
One overarching thought: how do you spend $80 million and fumble the basics?
Many more thoughts..."

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

If you thought the DC flag would literally fly on the Moon before we'd be a state, sadly, you were correct (though they do at least call us a state on Nixon’s plaque…)

The president’s late uncle, John G. Trump, was a physicist at MIT who did pioneering work in clinical and military uses of radiation. He relied on NIH funding and NSF grants that supported 6 doctoral, 20 master’s, and 13 undergraduate theses in his lab. This is the kind of thing we're losing now.
