Is the MAGA move­ment frac­tur­ing? Choose your lane: Trump, Tuck­er, or Ban­non, as GOP law­mak­ers face back­lash over a bloat­ed bud­get bill. Only 35 of 535 DC law­mak­ers grasp real-world eco­nom­ics, while Elon Musk warns of bank­rupt­cy if spend­ing isn’t slashed. A failed bond sale could tank the econ­o­my, with Jamie Dimon and Scott Bessent sound­ing alarms over debt and expir­ing tax cuts. House Repub­li­cans, once anti-ear­mark in 2011, embraced them in 2024, out­pac­ing Democ­rats. Crit­ics slam GOP for aban­don­ing fis­cal hawk promis­es, sup­port­ing Musk’s DOGE plan, and pass­ing a sin­gle rec­on­cil­i­a­tion bill instead of 12 appro­pri­a­tion bills. Demand clean bills, no ear­marks, and pre-COVID spend­ing lev­els!

  • Was this all by design? Is this the great MAGA split? Are you in the Trump lane, Tuck­er lane, Steve Ban­non lane, etc. 
  • Do you like the bill? Are you wear­ing the MAGA hat and cheer­ing for the big beau­ti­ful bill? The law­mak­ers in DC 535 (100 Sen­ate, 435 House), only 35 under­stand the real world. 
  • Elon has said that we have to reduce spend­ing oth­er­wise we go bank­rupt. As soon as a bond sale fails, we are sunk. It is like a bad dream of cred­it card debt? Jamie Dimond is sound­ing the alarm to scare the bond mar­ket with­out debt bur­den. Scott Bessent is sound­ing the alarm on the tax cuts expi­ra­tion.
  • Don­ald Trump has built his com­pa­nies on debt and the art of the deal. 
  • We have our proof that they don’t read the bills. 
  • His­tor­i­cal­ly House repub­li­cans end­ed ear­mark­ing in 2011. This was in response to con­cerns about cor­rup­tion and waste­ful spend­ing.  It was revived in 2021 by Democ­rats in which House repub­li­cans vot­ed to also par­tic­i­pate in ear­mark­ing. In 2024, repub­li­cans direct­ed more ear­marks to their side of the aisle than democ­rats. 
  • These law­mak­ers don’t want to stop it. They stole an elec­tion, installed a robot, and put tril­lions of dol­lars on the books. And repub­li­cans are in on it. When they say we need to roll spend­ing back to pre-COVID spend­ing, this is why. Repub­li­cans are going to tell you that they are fis­cal hawks. And they were sup­port­ive of Elon Musk’s DOGE. We were sup­posed to get 12 appro­pri­a­tion bills but then we were told that we only had one chance to pass the bill and it all had to go into one bill for rec­on­cil­i­a­tion. 
  • Repub­li­cans: Clean up the bill, reduce spend­ing, get rid of the ear­marks, do what you promised.
