Gotta Stroke The Old Guy’s Ego…

But Alligator Alcatraz is in no way a federal facility!

"Neither ICE nor FEMA has implemented, directed, or controlled the construction work at the temporary detention center," the DOJ said. "Plaintiffs fail to identify any federal funding for the facility that could serve as a final agency action. Neither ICE nor FEMA has sent any funds to Florida in connection with the temporary detention center."

Except DHS is going to give Florida FEMA funds to cover construction and operating costs. So…

GOP Rep Deletes Tweet Celebrating Cutting Healthcare and School Meals

Just wait ‘til the midterms. And while the GOP is celebrating:

Because of a statutory requirement to automatically impose budget cuts when legislation increases the deficit, the Big Beautiful Bill would require automatic sequestration cuts across the board, something that has been confirmed by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) but has been largely absent from the debate over the bill. Medicare is one of the programs that will face the axe, and the damage sums to $490 billion over the next ten years, starting in the next fiscal year that begins in October. While many of the safety-net cuts in the bill are delayed to help Republicans with their re-election campaigns, the Medicare cuts must begin next year.

Yeah, it’s gonna suck to be them. 

As CBO confirmed in a letter to the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA), OMB’s calculation is mandatory, and unless Republicans manage to also pass massive deficit-reducing legislation within this fiscal year, something that is incredibly unlikely to happen, the cuts would follow.

Republicans could have waived the inclusion of the Big Beautiful Bill on the PAYGO scorecard, averting the sequestration cuts, but they did not do so. Future legislation could waive the cuts as well, but that has yet to be discussed.

They’re too busy dancing right now.
