I think the GOP has already signaled they will ignore the parliamentarian if it suits them, but we’ll see.

This would surprise me. It sets up the 50% vote in the senate. The 60% vote in the senate has saved the country from a lot of whiplash (and also prevented a lot of legislation I’d like). The Ra have been staunch supporters of the Byrd rule to date. Yes I know that means nothing.

“… we have made PEACE abroad …” rather vastly overstates things.

Senator Thom is sweating bullets as he is entering his re-election as he pleads for no cuts to Medicaid.

When good Christian Thom kneels before his bed at night, I'm guessing his first ask of his lord Jesus is that He make sure Roy Cooper doesn't run Senate next year.

Another top Senate Republican sends party warning over megabill cuts to Medicaid

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) isn't happy about the proposal for cuts to Medicaid that would disproportionately affect rural America. Tillis, who is up for reelection in 2026, told Punchbowl News senior congressional reporter Andrew Desiderio on Wednesday that he wants more money for states to fund...

I feel like Paul is a true believer. He's definitely voting no. I could see the others trying to play the Manchin or Sinema role to try to get as much for their state or as much for their reelection campaign as they can in exchange for their vote.
 
Hey, NC Legislature (GOP), Thom wants you on the hook with him if he votes Yes — he wants you to tell him it’s fine.

WTH are the PROTESTORS, NOW? The Trump 2.0 Episode - 26 Hours in Iran has distracted everyone.

The Senate bill will KILL our R&D engine, responsible for 60% of new job creation since WW II. The deficit spending with the BANK ROBBERY for billionaires will cripple our economy long term.

Dems are not fighting hard enough. They think this irresponsible appropriations bill will help them in 2026. Their arrogance and fecklessness is infuriating.

Pubs are voting against the best interest of their constituents, especially in the red states. Our son is crossing the last t and dotting the last i on his dissertation in engineering, but job prospects are in Canada.

Trump, MAGA, and Project 2025 are disassembling the American science, education, and innovation infrastructure that made the US the #1 economy/capita.

I'll be surprised if the GOP doesn't get enough votes (50) for this to pass. On how many occasions in Trump's two terms have "moderate" Senate Republicans come through in the crunch to stop these terrible bills from passing? There aren't any real "moderates" among Senate Republicans anymore, and hasn't been for awhile. Thune will likely get enough votes to ram it through.

Sucks this bill is going to pass but perhaps it’s for the best. It’s going to screw all of us, of course, but it’s really going to royally fuck a whole bunch of dimwit MAGAts and red staters with no lube. It sucks that it’s going to hurt a whole bunch of innocent people who did not vote for this, but perhaps it’s going to take truly hurting the morons who voted for cronyism and authoritarianism for them to realize how stupid and shortsighted they were. Many will never realize it (or care) of course, even as their jobs, healthcare, insurance, disability, veterans benefits, and food stamps are stripped away. But some will.
