Donald Trump has been warned by fiscal hawks within his own party in the US Senate that he must “get serious” about cutting government spending and reducing the national debt or else they will block the passage of his signature tax-cutting legislation known as the “big beautiful bill”.
Ron Johnson, the Republican senator from Wisconsin who rose to prominence as a fiscal hardliner with the Tea party movement, issued the warning to the president on Sunday. Asked by CNN’s State of the Union whether his faction had the numbers to halt the bill, he replied: “I think we have enough to stop the process until the president gets serious about spending reduction and reducing the deficit.”
It is all a performance.
Lol exactly, no one has stood up to Trump yet, why would they start now. I’m so sick of the false hope these articles spin.
“Well maaaybe this time!” Lol no. No… We’re fucked, stop trying to sugarcoat it, media.
Same way it “got stuck in committee” for a day or less then went through anyway.
It really is part of the playbook. It plays into the false centrism they’re trying to hide behind. “We worked hard and compromised.” Compromise to these fucks has been just giving into their temper tantrums since presidential reconstruction. They have to spin it in the public eye though. They always have to be the persecuted group in their narrative for this to even come close to making sense.
Yeah, bullshit. They’ll get some token change made and call it good. They’ll fall in line in the end…
and the whole thing ends up being even worse

Chuck Schumer already working in the background on a coalition to help push it through.
“yeah yeah we know there’s a provision in here that makes Trump king, but we really need to work on bipartisanship!”
Too bad they are limp dick fascists who have proven they will vote for it anyway.
We all know what needs to be done to make this stop.
