#budgetbill — Public Fediverse posts

On May 20, 2025, Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, and Lisa McClain celebrated a narrow victory as Trump's significant budget bill passed with a 218-214 vote. Despite the success, dissent arose from two Republicans and critics claiming the bill favors the affluent while leaving vulnerable populations behind. This development stirs internal party conflict and concerns for future implications.

The #WhiteHouse’s big bulls–t #budgetbill passed the House the morning of May 24 in a 215 to 214 vote and may pass the #Senate this week, although there are reports some #Republican #senators fear the consequences. Trump is pushing to get it through fast.
