The House of Representatives has voted to advance President Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion “big, beautiful bill” to its final phase in Congress. After a long night of debate and amendment votes, the House is set to deliver the final vote this morning.
After it appeared to be derailed late Wednesday by hard-right holdouts, Republicans advanced the bill around 3:30 a.m. and are set to vote on final passage. During the all-nighter, GOP leaders kept the procedural vote open for almost six hours as they worked to flip 12 votes. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) was the lone Republican to vote “no” at the end.

It the one in the Blue a MAN! Was watching earlier and the Blue Man was yawning. We should put a stream of clips with them all falling asleep.
Guy in top corner is sleep. They move him out too. Saw him yawning too.
Trifecta, he put them all to sleep. Love the caption too.
Yes, who can do this? How to sing your lullaby and successfully make hard-working people fall asleep!
go in order with Here goes one to lalaland. Oh dear here’s another. Then, another one bit the dust. Another. Another, who’s next? Yet another. Good night all

I am so tired of this crap. We have three three groups in the Congress:
Group 1: Constitutional Patriots
Group 2: Marxist that have no understanding of human behavior or market incentives
Group 3: Totally unqualified for any job and functionally illiterate
When you mix the three together, the result is a dysfunctional clown show.
Our government works reasonably well if the principals abide by the law. The clowns in the Congress do not abide by the law, so there is no solution. The victims are hard-working tax-paying American citizens.
That is the end of the story.
I think group 3 is the largest group, followed by group 2 leaving, unfortunately, group 1 as the smallest. But I think we’re making progress under Godzilla Trump.
Actually, I don’t think group 1 exists in either house or senate.
Grp 1 certainly facing the toughest part of the corrupt influence crowd and tactics….
Keep an eye on Brandon Gill. He is in my district and is in Group 1.
Really – how then this got passed with all the shenanigans? You new here?
I’m tired of this all too. How many votes are they going to do? Enough already
FUBAR
Write what you want — or, get tired all you want — about the DYSFUNCTIONAL CLOWN SHOW in DC … but, FOR THE MOST PART, We The People VOTE them into office … time and again; and of those who get in by hook and by crook — I suspect that there are more than a few of these — they get there because We The People REFUSE to be VIGILANT and ACTIVE regarding the performance of our PATRIOTIC DUTY.
PS: It’s relatively easy for these criminal elected reps — the Clown Show, as you characterize them correctly — when, in many of our elections across our nation, a whole lot LESS THAN 50% of eligible voters actually do their part of our solemn American Covenant. [Make all the laws you want — until the cows come home — but the American Dream will have almost no chance of being realized unless a good solid majority of We The People wake up and start to do our part.]
PPS: Such is what we get — SURRENDER … with hardly a shot being fired — because for the last several decades, We The People have become way too complacent and ignorant — a most dangerous happy life combination — in a NATION of otherwise supposedly FREE CITIZENS.
No Worries: we have TONS of sociopathic JUDAS elected officials — again, the EVIL Clowns — who are well aware of the overall disposition of the complacent and ignorant American People … to where these officials show themselves to be much more than happy to help us fundamentally transform from a nation of CITIZENS to one of SUBJECTS … while we pay for the rope to hang ourselves. EASY-PEASY!
IOW: I understand what you are writing/saying, but, IMO — according to the solemn terms and conditions of our American Covenant — you are barking up the wrong tree.
We all have been lazy, hard times make hard people and they lull us to sleep with pandemic give aways and free everything. It’s all on purpose but, if anyone thinks these clowns are calling the shots your in the wrong forest. What you are seeing is the curtains pulled back and the clowns are all naked. These people don’t write bills or laws. Their morons who take cash for votes.
There are no patriotic politicians they all have to navigate corruption to get in office, meaning they are all crooks or act like it to be in office. A cartel.
Anyone know a senator or congressman personally? Dead trout handshake and empty chest.
The three categories also applies to us the citizens.
I wonder what sausage legislation the clown posse will foist upon us this time.
AGREED. Time to flush this toilet in Congress, BOTH Senate & House primaries starting in 2026, 2028, …,etc.
I have a House rules or technical question: Is there anything Johnson can do to stop this deliberate attempt to delay the final vote and prevent the Democrats from denying Trump a July 4th bill signing?
I would think his fellow house memebers would be mad and want to get home for the 4th
not spend it listening to him pontificate..
I hear pulling a fire alarm is allowed without consequence.
Either that or throw a bucket after water on Jeffries
Unplug the House clock. They did this in NYS to keep the date, I believe.
Debate time has expired…
But, Party Leaders are allowed so-called ‘final minute’ to close debate (which has no limit)…
Once he stops, the bill proceeds to vote for passage…
He can not transfer his time to any other member.
Once he stops, the bill proceeds
I think Speaker Johnson gets the same deal, so he will also speak. Doubtful he will also go 12 hours.
Good. Hopefully the Dems will all miss their flights out of town.
Maybe send them to Ukraine for the weekend.
Perfect location since that’s where all of them probably get extra money from. Don’t allow them back in the country.
There is a quorum present. There won’t be a quorum after this vote of the full House & Senate because arrests commence just after passage, when a quorum is no longer necessary.
Ooooooh…. Don’t play with me like that!!
Use the Ice Block app.
Been doing it to scatter the “cockroaches (Illegal Aliens)” it’s really entertaining to see them scattered by “misinformation”, where is ICE really? I wonder!
Add salt to his water. It will give him the ‘runs’.
To put things plain and simple, Jeffries and the Democrats can only be viewed in pejorative terms used to refer to despicable or contemptible individuals.
Pretending Show Clowns, also known as Commie Clowns
he’s a smart one
It was a strategic have-to-pass bill.
Politicians took the advantage and extorted everything they could get into it, clear up to the breaking point.
Gosh, they really milked this one.
But, they also stripped out several important pieces we really needed.
Politics as usual.
difference between Trump’s BBB and biden’s bbb is the money is going to the right places not corrupt pockets
With the usual grabbing and porking….
In all fairness, Biden’s BBB was on track to send a lot of cash to Red states. That won’t be happening now.
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/02/14/business/manufacturing-jobs-biden
Do you believe everything CNN tells you?
Absolutely appalling how these democrats act. The dems have nothing to bring forward as an alternative option yet they just have their childish temper tantrums, attempts to stall and delay.
The proof is there for all to see that these liberal democrats offer nothing to the civilian class, and they do not deserve to ever be in power again.
Dems will be railing against Trump for the next 100 years.
That is, if they still exist.
That is all they can do, as they are not AUTHENTIC.
okay, I had to look it up… No bathroom breaks allowed or Jeffries yields the floor.
Time to set the AC at 50F.

He is most likely wearing a catheter and diaper
BidenBrand(tm)!
He’s a Tutti-frutti. More like a butt plug.
Yep. Probably a leg bag.
Jefferies must be constipated and FOS. Bring him big glasses of prune juice.
This clown has spent countless hours in front of a mirror practicing to mimic Obummer, its actually kind of amusing. Can you see it?
That’s why he has his nicknames of Dollar Tree Obama and Temu Obama 😂
Love the Dollar Tree Obama reference.
and Zero has his new commie in NYC under wing, notice how quiet Zero is on this clown too.
the entire Obama years should be struck from our history as ‘INVALID’ Gubmit, that includes FJB too
Only if we can reverse everything Obama did and run him out of DC so he will stop harassing our President. I never liked that man and didn’t vote for him either time.
i’ll admit i was fooled in one term, but certainly not the next!! Eyes opened up clearly
I’m thinking more like “Haak-tui”, not “Hakeem”.
He makes me feel like I have something to spit up.
They have regular assembly line of Teh Lightbringer clones- actually Dan Ford and Deval Patrick proceeded Barry , and now Hakkem and Wes Moore are in the chute.
My guess is they had the same speaking coach. Tulsi Gabbard does the same.
Why hasn’t anyone dumped a bucket of water on Jeffries?
Because he’d melt away!
You say that like its a bad thing?
Then I’d call that a win-win!!
Jeffries is beginning to remind me of Jimmy Carter at the end of the Iranian hostage situation when they were released as soon as Reagan was sworn in.
Everybody knows it’s going to be resolved in America’s favor just as soon as he stops flapping his gums and gets the hell off the stage❗️
Just have a staffer near him and pouring glass after glass of water. Nature will take its course.
I love how they have to keep cycling new libtards in the seats behind him cause even his own members are over his diatribe…
Reference LBJ getting them to vote Democrat for generations vis-a-vis the Great Society programs.
Yep. That was Landslide Lyndon, racist to the core, saying, “I’ll have those n*****s voting Democrat for the next two hundred years.”
If you want to know what kind of person Lyndon Johnson was, read Robert Caro’s works on him. He was a sleazy individual but a damned good politician.
How loathsome can any individual be. The man takes the prize.
The longest floor speech for the House was set by Kevin McCarthy –8 hours 32 min
Jeffries is closing in on breaking that record.
Don’t think he can beat Senator Booker (25 hrs) without a bathroom break.
And nobody remembers a single sentence of these speeches.
Hakeem is an Arabic name meaning wise. The Democrats are unwise and this is the best leader they could find. Soon we will all be speaking in obamnics.
Ironic in so many ways.
The democrats have gone off the deep end for years. The party denied God no less than three times during one of their conventions leading up to the 2008 election.
Only thing God had to do was allow them to turn themselves over to a reprobate mind.
The Deep State always sacrifices a stooge.
Yes, otherwise known as useful idiots.
Bet you he is not aware that, as per some Islam historians, roughly 120,000,000 Africans have died in bondage under Islam since the time their invasion of East Africa and North Africa and West Africa 1300 years ago. This is why they sound so stupid, like Muhammad Ali, when they say they are getting rid of the “slave name” when the they convert. The Arabic name for “black person” is “abt”…. The same for ‘slave’.
Hakeem is a ghetto name for Ruby Begonia’s husband.
Spartacus has his urinary catheter and colostomy bag surgically attached at 2am this morning. Eventually they will fill up. He probably already smells like a back alley off Kensington Avenue.
Jeffries has the little man complex… needs to speak forever to compensate… he will speak thru end of July 4th to steal Trumps thunder… it would seem
He’s having the opposite effect than he hoped, he flipped a vote to yes:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/happening-now-hakeem-jeffries-holds-up-final-vote/
This moron and his fellow communists are so out of touch with reality that is is really hard to believe. Hakeem go back to New Jersey and ask your constituents what they think of you and your fellow communists. My rep, Hillary Scholten, ran as a centrist, a mom and has turned out to be a huge communist, voting even to kill babies that live through an abortion. Voting to allow abortions up until birth. She is a pathetic human being, along with all of her communist friends. Of course she really didn’t win, they cheated as usual.
I’m hoping no members are taking this opportunity to read the bill. What? Members read something? No. Wishful thinking.
I meant to say I hope members are taking opportunity to read the bill. But that’s wishful thinking.
It’s nothing new
still my favorite musical, and it’s funny at points and quite dark in others, every school kid should watch it. according to the people I talked to at Williamsburg years ago they said” strip out the music and it’s fairly accurate.”
I so love that movie! Their love story includes hits at a telepathic type relationship.
Following link gives some history to the former first lady who was also, elsewhere reported to hang the family laundry in the ‘white house’, to dry…

Dr. William Mayo was, I believe, on tour of Europe to give a series of lectures to various major medical schools in the 1920s. During a lecture , he only spoke for 40 minutes. His academic host was surprised as he had expected a lecture to last over an hour or 2. Mayo told him that audience members will start getting bored or drifting off after 40 minutes. It’s a SCIENTIFIC FACT! (And is true… especially with the typical PowerPoint presentation with yellow letters and blue background)
Jeffries: “This terrible bill represents a massive giveaway to special interests in this country.”
Dems applaud.
Total 🤡🌎
He’s still talking???????
If he’s trying to beat McCarthy’s record, then he has another half hour or so.
He’s covering all the bases, steph.
Has probably already covered World Hunger- or will soon.
In over 50 years I have never, ever met a democrat who knew when, much less how, to STFU. Verbal diarrhea is a party membership prerequisite.
haha. True.
Their pols are just as bad as their voters.
So, it seems, is the fist shaking and the finger pointing. Makes me laugh at those tiny fists that never did physical work, but they raise them up so tightly clenched as though to scare their people into listening. I think politicians should be required to keep their hands on the podium.
Well, he still be jiving, anywho.
Hakeem has just promised that “Democrats will end corruption in the US- for good!”
Go Democrats!!!!
I *knew* you guys could do it! If *anyone* can end corruption, it’s the Democrats!
/s
They are all going to resign and go away?
hahaha!!!
Well I’ll be, Country!
You’re right! The Dems really *could* end corruption for once and for all.
The Party just needs to dissolve and disappear!
After that, We the People could take care of what remains.
Nice one!
By leaving the country? Is that bow they will do it?
The difference between the Big Beautiful Bill and Democrat programs is that it will give relief to these that work and pay taxes and not to the social parasites that live off the fat of the land.
Oh Lordy, now he’s talking about “Faith”.
What a stand-up, righteous guy.
On to the New Testament and Gospels.
Mentions specific passage in Matthew. “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat”, etc.
Hakeem’s a Preacher! Who knew?!
Ties the Bible to Medicaid, etc. All the noble things Dems stand for.
‘I was hungry so you burned down my city, stole my elections, gave me myocarditis and gave my job to Pedro. But in an inclusive, life-affirming way.’
Dollar store odumbo is a Bible thumping bitter clinger? Who knew….
Jesus never used any of tax money.
Give Heffries five loaves and two fishes.
OK. Can’t take this BS any more.
Have to take a break.
Hopefully this jerk will get off the stage soon and we can get on to serious, relevant stuff.
somebody pull the fire alarm
I haven’t listened to a word Jeffries has said, but I imagine there will be plenty of clips that will be contrasted with actual results that will come back to haunt the demonRats. Plenty of fire and police saying how their situation has been improved by no tax on overtime. Plenty of servers, bellmen, bartenders and valet parking attendants saying the same thing about no tax on tips. You know…everyday Americans that the Dems chose to vote against. The mid-term ads are writing themselves.
Yup. In the UK, Michael Foot’s 1983 manifesto was called the ‘longest suicide note in history’, this pathetic effort by Jeffries might be called ‘the longest deathbed speech in history’, because it could define the Democrats for a generation as incompetent, hypocritical liars.
Trumps bringing the DS’s worst nightmare with him, competent, consequential, credible, creative, comprehensive, government. Who’d go back to the previous circus after this display of continuing faith in the dream that founded the country.
I’ve listened to between half and two thirds of it. Complete bilge. Hypocracy. Projection.
What a lot of nonsense about Congress being ‘founded to restrain the executive’. What happened to that in the Biden years, with J6, mandatory jabs, shutting down the local energy sources without consultation, leaving Afghanistan early, engaging without mandate in Ukraine,. Eeagh!
Then Jeffries has hijaked and pick and mixed convenient bits of bible – and I speak as someone who inhabited the clergy hose for 25 years, licensed to preach, teach, lead worship and bury the dead. He’s wandered all around scripture and history, either manipulating the record or making up what’s convenient, and now he’s getting his supporters to chant like thoughtless morons.
i do so hope that he comes mightily unstuck. soon. I wouldn’t trust him as far as I can spit, or believe him to the end of a sentence…..
Now accurately called out by the Missouri representative: “a bunch of hogwash.”
O Lord, have your hand over this all, please!
Go Speaker Johnson! Go President Trump! Go Lord! Have mercy we pray…. Amen!

Jeffries warns the bill will unleash a “Deportation machine on steroids”
Twitchy.com reports many are intrigued and want a look at this machine. “We’re hoping its a literal machine with catapults on the front. Ok maybe we can dream.“
Sounds good to me…and 80% of Americans too, according to polls…
I HOPE IT WILL INCLUDE HIM!
Is jefferies a witch doctor whipping his followers into a trance frenzy?😳
Clearly, we are over the target.
Dear God,
Hear our prayers.
In Jesus name, amen.
Good Lord! That guy is still babbling.
Yep.
It looks like Jeffries lips, are swollen, chapped, and he is possibly drooling when he drinks???
What is this?
A pagan Black gospel hour?
No room for God in the Democratic party.
Temu Obama is not finished yet?
Let him keep talking.
Watching this stupidity is the best part of his speech.
Full disclosure, I’m just trying to find any reason to use the branding “Temu Obama”. I want it to stick.
It’s 12:21 my time, and Temu is still speaking. O M G! 🙄🙄
Powered by possession.😳
I watched only a few moments, long enough to feel like they thought they were in church with their simultaneous outbursts after his every pause.
H.G. Wells wouldn’t know what to make of today’s Democrats…as clueless as the Eloi and as evil as the Morlocks!
That describes the UNIPARTY!😂
What a motley crew.🦨
Looks like this is going to continue.
“Mad” “Maxipad” Watters keeps handing the the stooge talking points.
Turn off the AC and turn on the heat in the chamber.
Some one should have put Ex-lax in his coffee at breakfast.
Ex-lax brownies work well when someone is swiping food out of the dorm or office fridge.
MAGA has destroyed the Dems… this is the swan song of the Obama-clowns
Mad Maxine at his side…Dumb and dumber!
This is sounding like a revival…Tell it
Good trouble, necessary trouble…
“Now let me take you back—March 1956!—when the air was thicker than grandma’s grits and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood up in Concord Baptist Church with a voice like thunder wrapped in velvet, telling folks with pocket change and holy fire in their souls that we gotta press on! And if we can’t run, we walk, and if we can’t walk, we crawl, and if crawling’s too ambitious, then by God we slither like righteously confused garden snakes of justice! Because motion is devotion! And progress is non-negotiable even if you’re flat on your sanctified belly doing the worm of liberation across the linoleum of history! Amen?! They said Amen! because even the pews were shifting forward, scooting inch by inch like baptized Roombas in a hallelujah conga line! We press, we press, we PRESS like divine ironing boards flattening the wrinkles of injustice! Amen and pass the civil rights biscuits!”
Jeffries just broke McCarthy’s record (8 hrs 32 min)
Jeffries ends speech at 8 hours 45 min with the words “I yield back.”
That’s what this is all about. Political theater.
Finally. What a douche.
How disrespectful to both parties. No one has a right to speak but him.
The only thing that can stop his blather is his bladder.
TIME FOR THE VOTE Please
Free at last! Free at last!
The yammering has finally concluded; Johnson taking his bow.
Is Johnson going to take an 8 hour bow or what!!!
