Well, the making of the sausage is done for now. The Senate passed President Trump's so called "One Big Beautiful Bill" yesterday in a 51-50 vote, with Vice President Vance casting the tie breaking vote. Three Republicans voted against, Colling, Rand and Tillis. Ryan King at NYPo reports Senate passes Trump’s sweeping ‘big beautiful’ agenda bill, sending it to the House for high-stakes showdown.

Ace, Big Unbeautiful Bill Passes Senate with Vance's Tie-Breaking Vote, "It now moves back to the House, which will either vote for it or add amendments." Charlotte Hazard at JTN reports Wisconsin Rep. Grothman says House GOP consensus is the Senate made the 'big beautiful bill' worse. Does legislation ever get better after it's initial drafting? John Sexton at Hat Hair asks (and answers) What Does the BBB Say About Medicaid for Illegal Immigrants? Sarah Arnold at TownHall, Schmitt Exposes Dem Misinformation, Confirms Trump’s BBB Cuts Medicaid for 1.4 Million Illegal Aliens. If states want to put illegals on Medicaid they'd have to do it with their own money. Sister Toldja at RedState thinks you should Watch Scott Jennings Level Paul Begala in Throw Down Over OBBB. "Jennings zinged Begala after another doomsday prediction about the GOP in the midterms by reminding him that "We’re not cutting Medicaid for the people who voted for us. We’re cutting Medicaid for the people who vote for Democrats, the illegal aliens." Begala laughed, but Jennings was not finished. . ."

At NewsMax, Powell Reiterates: Fed Will Wait for More Data Before Cutting Rates. From Fox Bus, Trump blasts Powell, says any replacement would be better for refinancing $9T debt, "Former president vows to appoint someone who will slash interest rates to help refinance $9T in national debt." It's pretty clear at this point that Powell is keeping interest rates up to spite Trump and is praying for more inflation to justify his decision.

Jerry Dunleavy at JTN says Mamdani and 'fact checkers' deny he is a Communist, but his own words say otherwise.

Drew Berquist records NYC Mayoral Candidate Says Illegal Aliens Have Kept City Safe For Decades, Vows To Fight ICE If Elected.

Gavin Newsom's dad was administrator of the Getty family trust. His father ran a senate campaign the year after he was born. His family had money. What the hell is he talking about." Quote "Kevin Dalton @TheKevinDalton "Gavin Newsom gets emotional talking about the hallway his sister slept in because they only had one bedroom, the 2 1/2 jobs his mom worked, the couch he had to sleep on because again one bedroom, and the spare bedroom they rented out because… Gavin can’t keep his lies straight."
Scott Pinsker at PJM, ‘America First’ Vs. ‘America Worst’: In Gallup Shock Poll, Dems Have QUIT on America. But that's fair, America has quit on them, Da Caller, Congressional Dems Remain At Rock Bottom In Eyes Of American Voters. Herr Professor Jacobson at LI, What Happened In 2013-2014 That Caused Democrat Pride In America To Fall Off A Cliff? "It’s a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." Sarah Hoyt at Insty differs With all due respect, I’ve been in America for forty years. I was here for a year in 1981/82. Never in any of that time did the Democrats have any pride in America. They just used to be quieter about how much they despised their own homeland.

Grassley shares declassified emails on FBI’s ‘suppressed intel’ on China’s potential 2020 meddling "The internal FBI documents provide more evidence that the bureau purposely failed to properly investigate allegations of Chinese government meddling in the 2020 U.S. presidential race." The raw and unverified intelligence report in question was bluntly titled “Chinese Government Production and Export of Fraudulent US Driver's Licenses to Chinese Sympathizers in the United States, in Order to Create Tens of Thousands of Fraudulent Mail-in Votes for US Presidential Candidate Joe Biden, in late August 2020.” The report was soon recalled, with spy agencies told to delete the information before they had a chance to properly investigate its claims."

Rusty Weiss at RedState hears
Trump Wins Massive Payout From CBS Over Kamala Interview Scandal, Details of Settlement Humiliate Network. "The agreement involves two separate payments, the first of which is $16 million—an amount exceeding both the network's initial offer and the payment ABC had to shell out to
settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Trump back in December after George Stephanopoulos falsely accused him of rape. It pays to call out the fake news on their BS. It gets worse for CBS and Paramount. The settlement includes an anticipated subsequent payment that has yet to be finalized, but according to reports, would also be in eight-figure territory, bringing the total amount to over $30 million. Not only that, the
money from this settlement is to be used in part to fund Trump's future presidential library and promote conservative causes. The network is also adopting what has been called a “Trump Rule” to modify its operating procedures when conducting interviews with future presidential candidates."
