Some good news! As Trump’s “One Big 💩 Bill” barrels through Congress loaded with extreme riders, the Senate parliamentarian just struck down some of the worst, thanks to the Byrd Rule.
Here’s what won’t be in the final version:
– A clause that would’ve made it nearly impossible for courts to hold federal agencies in contempt
– A plan to dump food aid costs onto already-strained state budgets
– Provisions to defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
– A effort to eliminate the federal audit watchdog (PCAOB)
– EPA emissions rollbacks that had nothing to do with the budget
But it’s not over yet. Provisions like the 10-year ban on state AI regulation and the forced sell-off of public lands are still in the bill. Keep spreading the word. Keep pushing back. This isn’t budget reform.
