But fiscal hawks have been skeptical the Senate will comply.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul: We’re adding $2 trillion this year, but the authors of the bill are anticipating adding more than $2 trillion next year. That doesn't sound at all conservative to me and that's why I'm a NO. pic.twitter.com/dXT0LKI6fk

You were promised the Big Beautiful Bill would do these things but it does NOT:
❌ Prohibit welfare for illegal aliens
❌ Stop funding sex changes for kids
❌ End registration of suppressors
❌ Defund planned parenthood 10 yrs
❌ Implement REINS Act
❌ Reduce the deficit
