    4/ This package includes $4 TRILLION in spending cuts. That's DOGE on steroids! ๐Ÿ’ช It also means that after eliminating our $1.8 Trillion deficit, we could start seriously paying off the debt.

    6/ Now it heads to the House. @SpeakerJohnson needs to hold the line with a razor-thin majority. Just 3 defections could kill it. ๐Ÿ‘€ But...

    @SpeakerJohnson 7/ If the House passes this, the Republicans in both houses can used the reconciliation process to pass the whole thing, WITHOUT needing 60 votes in the Senate. Democrats won't be able to block this sweeping legislation.

  8. #8

    @SpeakerJohnson 8/ Here's the truth: This is Trump's vision for America being put into action. Lower taxes, strong borders, fiscal responsibility. Everything the DC swamp HATES!
