To be signed by President Trump in what will no doubt be an over-the-top July 4 celebration. But first, Hakeem Jeffries tried to delay it's passage by ranting for a record 8 hours and 44 minutes on the house floor. No word if he wore Depends. At OTP, Jeffries Delays Final House Vote On Trump Bill With Marathon Speech.

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ "If the OBBB passes, ICE will be supercharged on a massive scale: - $45 billion to more than double ICE detention capacity to roughly 100k beds. - $14 billion for transport & removal. - $8 billion to hire 10,000 additional ICE personnel, more than doubling current 5k deportation officers. - $1.3 billion for ICE OPLA (additional attorneys & support staff). - $858 million for signing & retention bonuses. - $787 for state/local participation in ICE/DHS efforts. - $700 million for technology enhancements. - $650 million for 287g/local ICE cooperation. - $600 million for recruitment, hiring, & onboarding. - $200 million for fleet modernization. - $20 million to detain aliens with their children. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told me this funding would be a “game changer” for the agency. This would give one of President Trump’s biggest agenda items - mass deportations - a massive shot in the arm." Sundance, White House NEC Director Kevin Hassett Gives Overview of BBB Economic Impact. _s.a.m.e.m.e.m.e_ @st_louis_stan "It took him 15 years, but he finally completely destroyed Obama and his entire legacy, and on the eve of the 250th Fourth of July no less.

Winning never gets old." From Twitchy, Stephen Miller Shuts UNHINGED Commie Ilhan Omar Whining About Immigration DOWN with Just 1 PRICELESS Post Stephen Miller @StephenM, "The communists know that if this bill passes the invasion is reversed." Quote Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan, "This abomination of a bill gives $150 BILLION for immigration enforcement. And they’re paying for it by cutting MEDICAID and SNAP. They want to take food off your table and healthcare from your family to fund a police state. Unconscionable." Don Surber, Republicans talk, Trump does "Oh, and he is much better than they are at talking!" Duane Patterson at Hat Hair looks at the Democratic Deadpool.There was a new economic report out yesterday as well, End Wokeness @EndWokeness "Most important data from June: 830k new jobs for native-born 348K jobs lost for foreign-born 437k gain of new full-time jobs 367k loss of old part-time jobs Major reversal of the Biden era." Joe Weber at JTN reports the Economy added 147K jobs in June, monthly unemployment rate drops slightly to 4.1%, "The gain exceeded most analyst expectations of about 100,000 additional non-farm jobs." Althouse find the NYT disappointed "But the big picture remains one of surprising resilience — strong job growth, low unemployment and little sign that tariffs and uncertainty have so far derailed the labor market." "That feels like a grudging admission, in "Live Updates: U.S. Hiring Remains Solid, Sign of a Resilient Economy/Employers added 147,000 jobs in June, and the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1 percent, suggesting that tariffs, interest rates and other headwinds are not yet causing employers to pull back significantly" (NYT)." Ace, Media in Grim Funk as Much-Heralded Trump Recession Continues Not Arriving, Update: Americans Fill the New Jobs While Illegals Lose Theirs. TownHall's Matt Vespa thinks you should Watch How CNN Reacted to the June Jobs Report. It's Priceless. Townhall.com @townhallcom "CNN: “We were expecting a slowdown. We did NOT get that!” These numbers are what we got WITHOUT passing the One Big Beautiful Bill. It will only get better." The FOO @PolitiBunny "Notice you didn't bother to include the source of this information or what these job losses specifically entail. Shocker. -The Weldon Cooper for Public Service at crazy liberal UVA put this out. -These job losses are federal workers. The fact that we have this many government employees in Virginia is insane. Glad I could help :)"
Breitbart Bus, The Vietnam Peace, Metternich, and Trump's Trade Strategy "The critics said tariffs would start a trade war. Instead, Donald Trump may have just ended one. On Monday, the White House announced a trade agreement with Vietnam: a 20 percent tariff on goods imported to the United States, and in return, Vietnam will eliminate all tariffs on U.S. exports. A threatened 46 percent tariff—set to take effect July 9—has been shelved."
WaEx explains How this group got Trump to sign a pro-environment executive order. "The "Make America Beautiful Again” executive order will establish a council tasked with preserving public lands, wildlife and drinking water supplies." Without all the climate bullshit.
At Hat Hair John Sexton worries Will Democrats Ruin America's 250th Birthday Bash?

Ace, James Varney: "Biden" Authorized $42 Billion In Graft to His Political "Environmental" Allies in Just the Last Two Working Days of His Potemkin Presidency "$42 billion in 48 hours.

From Fox, DOJ indicts suspect who went viral for delivering protective gear to anti-ICE protesters on live TV, "Justice Department charges Alejandro Orellana with conspiracy to aid and abet civil disorders after delivering face shields." But who paid for them?
At ET, Pardoned Jan. 6 Defendant Sentenced to Life in Prison for FBI Murder Plot "The Tennessee man claimed the presidential pardon covered his conspiracy case, but a judge ruled the plot was unrelated to the Jan. 6 events. . . . Edward Kelley was sentenced on July 2 in federal court in Knoxville after being convicted of conspiracy to murder federal employees, solicitation to commit violence, and threatening a federal official, court filings show. Prosecutors said previously that Kelley created a “kill list” of FBI agents involved in investigating his Jan. 6 conduct and discussed attacks using car bombs and drones." You know, you should probably keep such thoughts to yourself.
Fox, sees ICE flips script on Los Angeles mayor after telling authorities to 'go home' "Federal agency reminds Bass of her controversial Ghana trip while Los Angeles wildfires raged . . . ICE isn't going anywhere and will continue to do what Mayor Bass has utterly failed to do – protect the citizens of Los Angeles. If she wants distance from federal law enforcement, I'm sure there is an upcoming diplomatic trip to Ghana," Emily Covington, assistant director, ICE Office of Public Affairs, said in a statement to Fox News." Sarah Hoyt considers Uniformly Spherical Countries in frictionless vacuum. Trust me, it's relevant.
Matt Margolis enjoys watching the Legacy Media Have a Huge Meltdown at Trump's Victory Over CBS. Matt Vespa, Trump Clinches a Massive Win Over the Fake News Media...and CNN Melts Down. Althouse read the NYT so you don't have to, "For many veteran correspondents at '60 Minutes,' paying even $1 to settle a left-field lawsuit from an aggrieved president seemed too high a price." "At stake, they believed, was the long-term credibility of the country’s most decorated and most-watched television news program, a journalistic institution since 1968 that prided itself on holding elected leaders to account. Late Tuesday, CBS’s parent company, Paramount, concluded differently. It agreed to pay $16 million so President Trump would drop a lawsuit that essentially boiled down to a politician’s gripe: that '60 Minutes' had edited an interview with his 2024 opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris, in a manner that he did not like. Many legal experts called Mr. Trump’s case frivolous and unwinnable, running counter to long-established First Amendment protections for the American press...." It probably was unwinnable, but the discovery would be a bitch. Vicky Taft at PJM, Well, Now We Know Why Trump-Hating Newspaper Hid Reader Comments on Assassination Story... "The comments overwhelmingly suggest skepticism about the authenticity of the assassination attempt on Trump, with many believing it was staged to boost his political standing. Several commenters highlight the improbability of Trump’s ear healing without a scar and question the… Show more"

From Campus Reform, Trump unfreezes $175M after UPenn removes men from women’s sports, revoke Lia Thomas' records. At the College Fix, Texas State U. professor told my class ‘we’re not born with a sex,’ it’s assigned. First, they appropriated the word gender to be something other than sex, and then tried to put the word sex under the same rubric. Ace, Atlantic Writer Tells Her Fellow Liberals: You're Living in an Anti-Scientific Media Bubble Impervious to Fact, Everything You "Know" About "Trans Affirming Medical Care" is a Lie "A writer at The Atlantic spills the beans and informs magazine's braindead Affluent Winebox Female Liberal audience that the "science" of transgenderism is entirely fictitious. Oof. Karen's going to open and finish three whole wine boxes tonight." Althouse finds a letter at WaPoo, "I was a registered Democrat for 45 years. But two years ago, I registered as independent because of the Democratic Party’s embrace of what I see as a misogynistic, homophobic view of gender..." "... that has contributed to the loss of lesbian-only and women-only spaces from dating sites, to shelters, to sports — in short, erasing our right to free speech and free association. I am a soft butch lesbian. I came out in 1978 at 18 years old. I was always a tomboy and if I were a teenager today, I would likely be medically transitioned. I strongly believe society must stop medicalizing gender nonconforming youths . . . " Alyssa, Queen of Raccoons @AlysssaHazel "Why does a children's animation studio have an entire group focused on sex and sexuality?"
