Senate GOP preps for ‘one big, beautiful’ rewrite (lemmings.world)

Senate Republicans are vowing they will make changes to President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” after it passed the House early Thursday morning.

While the end product is likely to contain sweeping areas of overlap with the proposal negotiated by Speaker Mike Johnson, GOP senators made clear Thursday that the House bill can’t pass without major changes. Some of the member demands are contradictory, with some fiscal hawks demanding beefed-up spending reductions while others want softening of the House’s Medicaid language and to preserve more green-energy incentives.

Kill it. Senate needs to be the adults in the room.

The whole ass US government needs more adults in the room.

Which is saying something when the average of the Senate is 64 years old and the average age of the House is 57 years old.

The Senate is majority Republican. They're fully invested in this.
