The House narrowly passed Trump’s domestic policy bill Thursday following a dramatic all-night session and days of negotiations.

In a 215 to 214 vote, all but two House Republicans supported the massive budget package — the centerpiece legislation of Mr. Trump’s second-term agenda — in a vote that came hours after unveiling an updated version of the legislation that GOP leaders hoped would satisfy enough holdouts.

The measure cleared a critical procedural hurdle in the wee hours of the morning, teeing up the vote on final passage after days of consternation among the House Republican conference.

The bill will now go to the Senate, where some Republicans have already voiced some opposition. Congressional leaders have said they want to get it to Mr. Trump’s desk by July 4.

    what? Obama ran opposed to same sex marriage. Obama, just a few years ago. Literally what 100 years of progress are you talking about? Trump has done nothing that cannot be reversed the moment another president walks in because everything is a fucking EO.

    You’re literally hysterical.

      I’m talking about the gutting and defanging of the federal agencies that protect the life and liberty of the people from corporations and other private interests, and I’m talking about Russians remotely accessing these federal agencies information with valid credentials the day after DOGE infiltrates them. Tf are you on about? What is with you lunatics and your obsession with Obama?

        What do you mean by you lunatics? I’m not a MAGA tard. Im only saying, Trump has done nothing that cannot be undone very easily. Civil rights, as enshrined in the laws are pretty much still strong with the exception of immigrants and the Supreme Court seems to be taking the side of immigrants on this.

        I don’t know that Russians have had access to any information, I think we should stick to what we know instead of making wild assumptions based on suspicions.

        Sure there are concerns about the dismantling of federal agencies but at least the state agencies are still there.

        I don’t like Trump, I don’t like MAGA but I almost dislike the hysterical faction of the democrats as much. And I say democrats because I’ve found many of you are not actual leftists but people who treat politics as team sports, not very different from MAGA though thankfully much less dangerous.

          making wild assumptions based on suspicions

          Last month directly following DOGE’s access to the National Labor Relations Board, users with Russian IPs were blocked from logging in to their systems with valid credentials. The attempt was only thwarted by geo blocking, meaning we only caught the ones who couldn’t be bothered to use a VPN. And we only know about this incident because of a whistleblower at the NLRB.

          The only person who’s made an assumption here is you, my dude. And the fact that you would blatantly accuse me of making an assumption and call me hysterical without even the slightest attempt to confirm the information is exactly what I mean by “you lunatics.” No you’re not MAGA ‘tard’, you’re worse because you’re fighting their battles and you don’t even know it. And don’t you dare call me a fucking Democrat. That crosses the line. In fact I think you’ve got a few things backwards.
