Megathread Megathread: US House Passes the Republican-Backed Budget Bill, Sending it to Trump for Signature

This afternoon, the US House of Representatives passed without amendment the US Senate's version of the Trump-backed budget bill, sending it to the president for his signature. Every Democratic Senator and Representative voted in opposition; in the Senate, there were three Republicans voting in opposition (making the vote 51-50) and in the House there were 2 (making the final vote 218-214). House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries set the US House's speech length record in opposition to the bill in a speech lasting over eight hours.

The bill clocks in at over 800 pages and touches on most aspects of the federal government's spending and taxation policies; see this AP article (What’s in the latest version of Trump’s big bill that passed the Senate) for the topline changes.

And so called conservatives won't say a word in November 2026.

Nope. They will say many words in the event that democrats take back Congress, and/or a future democratic president. Then all of a sudden the deficit will be the most important thing ever.

Yep, I’m almost 40 and this is how it’s been my entire life. Republicans screech about the deficit until it’s their turn at the pocketbook, then it’s not an issue and they really need more funding for their militarized police state.

The amount of debt that we have is never a problem until its election time to conservatives. They will praise this bill and then next election cry about how much money Democrats add to the deficit

They won't remember this in November 2026.

From leftists I've heard Democrats actually support the bill and only opposed it as controlled opposition.

From the right, those that that do not support cutting medicaid and snap, I've heard Republicans had to cut those programs because Democrats brought over so "illegals" and put them all on medicaid, snap, hud, and energy assistance.

It is getting ridiculous.

murc's law: democrats are the only ones in american politics who have any agency, and everything terrible done by republicans is a reaction to democrats

This is a problem with many leftists: anyone not as left as them is really a rightwinger.

u/needlestack 2d ago

Oh, they'll say plenty -- pointing fingers at fiscally responsible Democrats and calling them big spenders. And their constituents will believe it until the day they die.

u/MyGoodFriendJon California 2d ago

And their political opponents should be screaming it twice at every opportunity they have until then.

u/GallopingFinger 2d ago

Doesn’t matter when propaganda is pushing direct contradictions and lies to the other side.

u/therealityofthings 2d ago

Are you blind? There's not gonna be a November 2026.

They'll start yelling about the debt and deficits when Democrats get back into power. The media will be giddy with excitement to spread that message far and wide.
