Of course they did, but it made for some spine tingling moments in this reality show called 47

Was it the merch, the threats, or Trump's promises (he *always* follows through on promises) to change the bill after he signs it? I'm going with the signed Oval Office photo.

Yeah, can we finally move on from writing and calling members of Congress now? I don’t know how many times we have to be shown this before everybody here realizes calling and writing is utterly useless.

Exactly! As I say, call the ones out who voted for this or didn’t vote at all. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

How many were under the threat of violence? We'll never know the truth.

Smh but not surprised

Hope it’s worth destroying our citizens and our country

What is the difference between a brown nose and ring around the collar . Depth of commitment .

They follow their orders. They don't review legislation on a case by case basis, they vote how they are told to vote by Trump. Republicans are Trump's little bitches.

Donny was up late making threatening phone calls to the “ undecided “

The republican caucus getting ready to vote

And they’re so proud. Fake Christians

Did they prey on how best to take healthcare from millions? Did they ask god to ok taking food out of the mouths of children? F**k these Nazis!

Trump's connections with the Mafia, with Russian intelligence, with child sex trafficking, all outlined with citations. This information is sickening. Why is the media not all over this??? spookyconnections.com/2024/10/19/d...

“A group of Republicans reversed course after days of threatening to block the president's agenda” What about America’s agenda?

Republicans are Fascist traitors to their constitutional oaths...

It's TIME, LOVED-ONES 😎😎😎

Please check the pinned post at @USCitizensCongress.bsky.social. It's the blueprint for how We the People wield our Constitutional power and convert it into victory!

100% of republicans in this country are pathetic cowards. 100%

Anyone who fell for their con hasn’t been paying attention the last decade.

Cavers.

It’s a re-election gimmick. It always is.

Anyone surprised? This was a slam dunk from the beginning. Lies & theatrics is the repub modus operandi.

Not surprised at all

Chicken 💩’s

Republican holdouts, COWARDLY PRICKS !!!!!

Cowards. All of them

I am sure Bondi told them she would open a fake investigation on them and throw them in Noem's alligator concentration camp.

All while Mikey thumps his bible

Y’all didn’t think they wouldn’t fall in line, didja?

Can someone wipe that stupid look off Mike johnsons' face

We no longer have a republic. There are no representatives, only sycophants.

You never go against the CULT leaders wishes. They will find you shot on the tarmac.

They’re just a bunch of fucking cowards

action.womensmarch.com/calendars/fr... #FourthOfJuly

They are all cowards and will always fall in line. They DO NOT WORK FOR US.

Never a doubt

May God have mercy on them. I won’t be able to forgive for a long time.

May ALL of the alleged Christians meet god very very soon Today would be spectacular

Is there something about TACO that describes Republican genetics? Calling them TACO is an insult to a great Mexican food item. Mulege fish tacos, damn good eating.

The really sad thing is what Republicans & greedy Oligarchs are doing to Americans. The good thing is the inevitable awakening & revenge of Americans that is coming assuming we are still allowed to vote.

When the voting stops the shooting starts

they've seen past threats realized

Hate that this country has gone this way. Dems better come up with a way to undo this shit storm and get into office. Media needs to not give voice to those who lie.

Agree!

This is past the time for the dems to do anything. We need to do something because we are mightier in numbers.

Evil!

They will pay the price at the midterms and 2 years later. You slit your own throats you morons - all because you are 🐥💩’s and are afraid of a mentally ill and corrupt leader. You deserve nothing!

Like your 'chicken shits' visual & the visual of them slitting their own throats...Not the blood part, but the forever gone part.

Project 2025 is about to be voted into law

They were never holdouts. It's all performative

This is a good thing. Hold all GOP accountable. Go Hakeem!💙🇺🇸

It was all for show. These assholes were always going to vote yes.

Raco, rhymes with Taco.

Every single one should concurrently be planning for retirement next year. #GOPTaxScam #VoteThemOut

They were always gonna vote for it. It’s the cruelty.

Truth. But they know Drumpf likes to treat everything like some ignorant reality tv show... Sigh...

When this is all said and done, the white trash affected will blame the dems, and one or more of them will go out and assassinate a few more democratic politicians.

And bitch about their plans openly at Olive Garden

That'll be closed by then.

Applebees

In my family, Applebee's is our safe word when political and other depressing topics become too much for one of us.

Stealing this

That'll be closed too.

Braums? haha!

More like cracker barrell

Cue the people.

I can’t understand why the republicans continue to fall in line even when many of them oppose aspects of this bill!

All a charade. They were never going to oppose their leader.

All the tough-talking, blustering, boastful alphas tremble in their boots because of the possibility of a big baby's temper tantrum. What a pathetic band of MAGA mush.

Soulless bastards. Vote everyone out.

Don't let them off the hook for a day. Pull out critical sections, do fact sheets to distribute. Train Deks to run info sessions with Q& As. They need to be reminded every day that they sold out voters by breaking their promises because they are too weak to put voters over their weaknesses.

The mob bosses got to them.

I hear all it took was some hats and a couple of shirts.

Always in the cover of darkness like the cockroaches they are.

Of course they did! Rats every single republican! Karma can’t come fast enough💙💔💙🇺🇦 #8647now

of course they did.

Bastards

These POS/GOP Sycophants are Cult Followers!.. They are Brainless Morons looking to live the "Life of Riley" off of the truly Hard-Working, Good, Honest Americans who made it what it is!... SHAME on these Fascist PIGS!... May they ALL Rot in Hell! 💥

lives were threatened, I'm guessing.

Lets not kid ourselves. They were always going to pass this. This is their tax breaks. They just stabbed America right in the face. They also made it so that the worst effects of this bill dont hit until after midterms. So their voters wont find out what they did.

Exactly

Spineless, castrated Traitors!!!

It was for show. They were never committed

Surprising no one. Even the alleged "holdouts" knew this is where they were going to land. 🤨

Cunts, all of them. Every. Single. One.

25 amend: article 4. 11/2025 and beyond... #vote!!!

As a European I really don’t understand how you can elect representatives that do this to you.

Ummm... Last time I checked, Europe has plenty of its own problems with fascist politicians. It's a worldwide problem.

True.

A.I. agrees:

Color me not surprised.

Definitely not a cult…. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Not a shocker at all.

What you think they’d do something like working to destroy our country?

Threatened within an inch of their lives, no doubt.

Always at night. What good legislation has ever happened at night?

There may not be another election. The Republican “Beat America Down” Bill offers a pathway for Trump to halt elections. Take this in context of his firing of military generals and weaponinizing the National Guard against the American people. The coup is happening. www.npr.org/2025/02/22/n...

And super funding ICE to serve as Trump’s secret police. cc @jenrubin.bsky.social

Exactly. This is how he gets martial law without having to actually come out and declare it.

It’s not happening it’s already happened!

All the while Trump is forming a militia of 15,000 secret police (ICE) to reject any notion of fighting back against the dangers of an autocracy

Exactly this.

This certainly seems to explain the Gestapo budget increase. Since they have broken the law and spent over a billion more than appropriated, taxpayers will pay for it with their healthcare, food benefits, and everything else stolen in their evil bill. They do not believe we have the right to exist.

The national guard are Americans! Tell your National Guard family member, friend, neighbor, you support them, if they decide to defy orders, you support their decision. You will fight for them, too, if necessary. Orders to impede or hurt their fellow Americans can't be followed, this is a choice.

How much did they get?

The Crime Boss is threatening those GOP Representatives. This is no longer a functional democracy. It’s mirroring Russia’ s Oligarchy. Wasn’t that the goal of the 2025 Traitors?

Live coverage of Democrats holding the House floor in debate before a final vote.

U.S. Capitol switchboard: 202–224–3121 “My name is ___ and as your constituent from ___ I urge you to vote NO on the budget reconciliation bill. Approving this bill puts real people at serious risk, and Rep ____ needs to stand with (his/her) constituents and vote this big, ugly bill down.” NOW.org

We knew they would

How filthy their souls must be...and the stench🤢🤮

Oh, how Christian of them. They passed a bill that will give billions to the 1% while kicking the poor and the elderly off their healthcare. Oh, and starve kids. Great job, Republicans. How do they sleep at night?

They sleep wonderfully because they don’t care about any of us.

How sad is that? To be so selfish and so cruel to the very people who voted for you. Instead, they screw you over.

It’s bizarre.

Pathetic!

They’re folks of principle.

So sick of this smirking Speaker-who has a son-“adopted” as a teen when Johnson was a young. 🤔 He claims he has NO bank accounts to report. Where does his direct deposit Congress pay go? 🤔 He’s living in a house with a “pastor” & other “Christian” GOP guys. 🤔 I think there’s a story here media. 🤔🤔

🎯

Ofc they did 🙄

The outcome is always planned ahead of time, always theatrics,

Didn't need to be asleep to know this would happen. They're all spineless. Who should NOW be more afraid of their constituents than tRump. Good luck, GOP, you gonna need it.

It's only a matter of time before the people really take matters into their own hands just to get rid of them. Enough is enough, time for action is now.

But, of course. Keeping their jobs took priority over the welfare of the public. Let this be an object lesson…never vote Republican again!

🤬

Spineless fucks

The greatest failure in American history is the lack of courage of the Republican party to do the right thing when it mattered most.

Surprise?

Spineless traitors

It’s over then. Well we keep going for now, but in the end looks like we lost. This is what America wants and maybe we need to move on and shore up our resources and weigh our options for the future. Hope there are midterms. That’s the big warning sign.

This is NOT what America wants. They have cheated every step of the way.

Hmmm. I wonder what happened? Its a mystery!! Weak fuckers!

I'm at a loss for words yet again, but this time I expected this outcome. Dumb dumb wanted a decision before July 4th. He got exactly what he wanted by his good little boys.

I feel so emasculated right now.

More days for us to remind them of their cowardice and corruption. It's more important to do a message every day than worry about making it perfect. They need to experience the same level of fear and anxiety as the people who didn't think they would break their promises.

I'll leave alone my profile avatar and banner just in case things change.

Totally ridiculous they are all so greedy they will kill people for trump. Maybe it’s time to over throw the traitors

They don’t exist. I understand that someone was arrested trying to carry a ghost gun into the House building. This will be what Republicans will be living with the rest of their lives. Lots of guns, and lots of people at the end of their rope feeling like they having nothing to lose.

They may very well be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives, even after leaving office. This is when the billionaires start building walls around their homes imprisoning themselves because the fear is real. 300+million of us vs. 3+million of those responsible for the bill.

It'll be like S. Africa. The wealthy have tall walls around their homes, they travel in reinforced cars, they can't travel anywhere on a whim, they have security details. And guess what, they still get mutilated.

Well, there ya go.

They are sleeping with cowardice and cruelty.

Spinless Mike might as well hand the gavel over to trump.

As I said yesterday when everyone was breathlessly "applauding" the Rs who were opposed. They always cave to this idiot.

Was it the threat of horseheads?

Of course they did no integrity no strength of character no back bone

I'll stop being a Doomer when bad shit stops happening. The active members of the military and National Guard are to be considered as pending enemies, to say nothing of Federal, State and local LEO. The Democratic party keeps saying be peaceful at protests, but where is the deadline for when it's

time for open revolt against a clearly Fascist regime? They didn't learn from the Weimar Republic and try Herr Shitler like they should have and now we're several lines into the "First The came for _____“ poem. I'm so tired of living in this collapsing country in a dying world.

How do people vote to hurt people?

They will pay dearly.

Eventually yes. In the short term they'll rake in the cash and be protected by dear leader.

Then it’s our turn.

Let's hope. Be ready to fight, though.

I was born ready. ☺️

Tru Dat

NO TIME FOR CELEBRATION!

Cosigned by gay men.

We are not celebrating this year.

The civil war is already justified.

They’re all assholes!

Why would they want a job that requires such depravity? For what? Tickets to a UFC match….

No surprise they will only have jobs for 3 and a half years they need to grift the hell out of the USA.

Typical House Freedom Caucus holdouts who want deeper cuts and other special interest gimmes...Looks like they all got what they wanted from trump/johnson/maga leadership...

So we don’t know how much WORSE the final mess will be

Flood their offices and get them in front of cameras and ask “If nothing in the bill changed, then what changed in you? What specific data were you presented that made you change your mind?”

They will pay for this in the mid terms.

Since these cuts don't take effect until December 2026, no MAGA will be the wiser until after the midterms... if we make that far. They've normalized so much that is restricting us and preparing us to have no rights.

These people are evil.

What a bunch of chickenshit losers

We have to take care of ourselves. Our elected officials are all failing us and they don’t give a shit.

Sure, anyone who is still breathing could have said “ don’t worry folks they will switch to make their emperor happy”

There are no good Republicans.

Of course they are. They are spineless.

None of them have a spine.

I never doubted that they would.

What were they threatened with or promised?

I never had any doubt. But hey look at Murkowski, she got them to play "Let's make a deal" for Alaska. Now the others just feel stupid and have to explain why they didn't think of doing that too 🤣

Here's hoping we still have midterm elections next year. 🤞

With the provision allowing trump to halt elections...?

Fuck every single one of them.

New Websters: Republican Amazing sub species of humans that stand upright without any spine.

But, but . . . we serve Donnie, NOT the American people! Besides, we love the power and the massive cash benefits! #KingServers #AntiAmerican #Power #Cash #Self #Greed

Those GOP holdouts just wanted to first get a little bit of publicity pretending to be good guys and second wanted to make sure that they got their share. They have no concern for their constituents.

Utterly predictable

F them all

🤬

😤

Republicans are Cave (in) men

They all support the oligarchy.

I don't know. I can't believe this many people are fascists. I think it's more like, they support not being murdered.

So not 4 good people left in the maga side of Congress. I don't want to look.

It was always going to pass. There was no way the GOP was not going to pass the bill. GOP = Trump

Anyone who votes for a republican is a traitor. Republicans HATE Americans.

DON'T get over it!!

Cowards and hypocrites!

We are fucked

2026 starts now! We need to work like hell to flip vulnerable districts. #volunteerblue

🤢🤮🤬

And while you’re out there, tomorrow is the Fourth of July. It’s only American protests and every city in this country.

Of course they did

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. It’s time to fight!

The “resistance” from the GOP was performative. They never had any intention of fighting the creation of a police state never gave it a second thought of taking healthcare away from 17 million Americans never blinked to funnel taxpayer $$ to the upper 1%.

A la Murkowski.

When that reporter confronted her (along with looking pissed) she looked like deer in the headlights. She has a lot of explaining to do.

Every damn one of them Hawley also said it was an attack on public safety etc He didn’t even get a set aside for his constituents But he voted for it!

🥲

Cowards always cave. Not news

Wimpy suck ups.

They will ALL lose their jobs in about 18 months! Vote straight Blue ballot in 2026.

Don't hold your breath. There is a reason tRump was meeting privately with Orban before the election. www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/how...

Ok

Of course. They're so afraid Trump is going to put them in jail, they capitulatulated.

They aren't afraid, they agree with him.

Ok Musk, let’s see what you got. Or are you MOCO?

as if we didnt know they'd all cave

There was never a chance it wouldn’t pass.

Yipee, The fact they got inline means they got concessions which means will be an even worse bill than before. They are the extremists in the party.

They didn’t change the bill again. It was threats or bribes, Mike Johnson running one dude down in the middle of the night because he was smart about voting no—he left right after!

I'll make another prediction. Americans won't hold them accountable and will demonize a marginalized community instead.

What a bunch of spineless wimps!

Because frump gave them merch?!!

America is a white nationalist, Christo fascist country. Dissenters will be re-educated. Resistance is futile.

Ha ha ha ha ha we’ll see

Yes, we will.

Is this something to be celebrated Borg

It is if you are white nationalist, Christo fascist. It is huge win for bigots and misogynists every where. The women and children will suffer before the rich, white, straight, Christian men do.

I’m going down in a blaze of glory then

We all are.

I guess I’m the turd in the punch bowl

Apparently.

I'd rather die than live under a dictator.

I was nice to meet you.

I’m sorry to inform you that the dictatorship already happened Teump- “I will be a dictator on day one” He said it out loud for all to hear Disregards SCOTUS Rules by edicts Uses the military to enforce his desires Congress submits to his every demand Attacks MSM with no consequences

I knew this was happening from the gate. They will always fall in line. I have ZERO expectations anyone will stand up. This is going to get far worse before it gets better.

Bandwagon Fallacy

Fucking cowards.

Predictable like the tide.

You mean, Trump's bitches fell in line. That's what all Republicans in Congress are. They just prov d it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Was there any doubt?

Not really.

SURELY we already knew how this was going to go because big orange FELON wanted this on his desk by July 4.

😡

Indeed. There was never any doubt. Everything was just posturing

🤮

Some Reps were paid out with some signed Trump BUB merch... So it can be kept in the Family Shame Vault for prosperity with their Trump Bibles and Meme Coins.

Was never in doubt.

If this bill hurts your family, visit every elected republican and their family and request an explanation. Accountability to voters is the foundation of democracy, if it infringes on your privacy-too bad.

just gonnna leave this here... The first shots of the American Revolution were fired on April 19, 1775, in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts.

Shameful, spineless cowards!

Every member of the republican party is a gutless cult member. All of them.

Was there ever any doubt about that. Rant and rave, then when the vote comes, they fold, always, every time.

I told my husband it would happen in the middle of the night.

I hate them so much!

And they call the left betas?! What wimps

What power could Trump be holding over these fools? This isn't normal behavior. If they refuse to kiss his ring, his hold ends (unless we''re talking really dark secrets...but even then?).

Not a single spine among them.

At least jellyfish are useful and pretty to watch...ditto single-celled organisms. These folks are not only useless, they are harmful.

Having been stung by a jellyfish, I hate them. But not as much as these assholes.

The news media adores this game which viewers always lose. As soon as the “will they/won’t they” breathless coverage began I turned off my tv because I know how the story ends.
