McGovern: House rules require a super majority vote for any bill that increases income taxes. Guess what? Republicans are turning that rule off. Why did they have to do that? Because they know this bill will increase taxes on those families struggling the most to put food on the table.

The "Big Ugly" Scam: f you’re rich, like country-club rich, you’re golden in a golden dome. Six-figure tax breaks, no questions asked. But if you're living paycheck to paycheck? Strap in. Cuts to food stamps, slashed Medicaid, goodbye to student aid, and good luck keeping your kid on health insurance. Millions will lose help they depend on so billionaires can pocket another yacht payment. The top 0.1% walks away with $300,000 in tax breaks. Meanwhile, folks earning under $17K trying to feed your kids while going to bed hungry? You lose money! This bill doesn’t lift anyone up, it steps on the people already down just to boost the ones sitting on piles of cash. It’s not reform. It’s garbage robbery in broad daylight! They’re feeding steak to the rich while telling the rest of us to be grateful for the trash. That ain’t beautiful, it’s ugly.

@AOC They didn’t just break the rules. They rewrote them to raise taxes on the poor while cutting them for billionaires. Peak GOP.

Neguse: If you did not intend to increase income taxes then you would not have needed to include a waiver of that rule. House rules are very clear that any income tax increase requires 3/5 support of the full house. If you want to increase income taxes, you have to get 3/5 of the house to support it. You all decided you do not want that rule to apply to this bill. The only reason why you would do so is because you know your bill does in fact increase income taxes.

Khanna: Rep. Massie and I introduced a bipartisan bill to release all the Epstein files, and to make sure victims were protected. There are 10 Republican co-sponsors of that bill.. we have the votes tonight to pass it. But what happened is in the rules committee they don't want to have this vote tonight because they know they are going to lose. What's even sillier is they have this nonbinding resolution. I thought, surely we would vote on a nonbinding resolution. They don't even want to vote on the nonbinding resolution in case Donald Trump gets slightly offended

The Senate just passed the biggest housing bill in 30 years with a huge bipartisan majority. House Republicans should immediately take up this bill and pass it. If they do not, they will have to explain to American families why they refuse to lower the cost of housing.

Bynum: I want to start off by saying just how laughable it is to be calling this bill “beautiful” and I would like to replace that word with “trash.” It is a trash bill and here is why. It is a bill that threatens $300 billion in cuts to food assistance, it is a bill that puts health care further out of reach for nearly 14 million people. It is a bill that will make it so families have to choose between putting food on the table or filling a prescription. It is a bill that does nothing to lower costs or address the housing crisis

McGovern: Listen to this quote from Murkowski who just caved and voted for this. "My hope is that the house is going to look at this and recognize we are not there yet." If you really believe that, why the hell did you vote for the bill?

Collins: He's saying that the tariffs will generate so much revenue that people in a certain income level will not have to pay taxes. I mean, if you look at the numbers, the tariffs would have to would have to be four times what they are now to actually make up for that.

.Chris Murphy 🟧: "They're out there saying 'we just passed a bill to eliminate taxes on tips and taxes on SS benefits.' NONE of that's in the bill. But they deny the fact that they're cutting Medicaid. So they want credit for popular stuff that isn't in the bill but want to ignore the fact that they're doing deeply unpopular stuff."

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set. And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people. So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.

Johnson: They are placing the burden on the Republican Party entirely to make sure that we have border security funding, and ICE because they are going to try to force it into a reconciliation bill. That's a very difficult task. It's a high-risk gamble for us to assume that we can do that.

DelBene: The fact that they have to do press conferences to try to tell people this is helping them, when families know it’s not true, says it all. Any benefits they might have seen from the tax bill were wiped out by tariffs and slashing healthcare. People’s costs are skyrocketing—food, housing, healthcare, childcare, energy costs—all going up because of actions taken by this administration.

Meiselas: What just happened today? Can you tell us what went down? Jeffries: The continuing effort by Donald Trump and the Republicans to shut down the federal government is because they want to continue their effort to gut the healthcare of the American people. We’ve been very clear that we will sit down and work on a bipartisan bill to try to reach a spending agreement that meets the needs of the American people—which includes protecting their healthcare in the face of the unrelenting attacks on everyday Americans. Largest cut to Medicaid in American history. Hospitals, nursing homes, and community-based health clinics—including those in rural America—are shutting down because of what they did in that one big ugly budget bill. The Affordable Care Act is under assault by these Republicans because they are unwilling to renew the tax credits that make healthcare affordable for 20 million Americans. At the same time, we know they are attacking medical research, attacking cancer research, and attacking our public health infrastructure—and they are potentially going to trigger a $536 billion cut to Medicare because of what they did in that one big ugly bill, if Congress doesn’t act soon. Republicans clearly have no interest in protecting the healthcare of the American people. Our position is simple: cancel the cuts, lower the costs, save healthcare.
