Why did six House Republicans who promised to oppose Medicaid cuts vote for the "big beautiful bill"?

It could be because the bill now contains an expanded "pass-through" tax deduction that would personally benefit them.

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
