Staff ReportsThe conservative warriors in Congress have once again shown their mettle by advancing the monumental “big beautiful bill” championed by Donald Trump. This legislation, aimed at extending Trump-era tax cuts and reshaping federal spending, finally pushed through the House Budget Committee. It was a close call, but thanks to steadfast GOP members, who have kept their eyes on the prize, the bill squeaked past in a Sunday vote. This is a clear victory for American families that crave lower taxes and a government that respects their hard-earned dollars.
Real leadership was on display with Speaker Mike Johnson and others tirelessly working day and night. They’ve been unyielding in their dedication to delivering for the American people. This isn’t just another bill. This is a once-in-a-generation chance to regain some sanity in Washington’s spending habits, restore border security, and reduce the wasteful subsidies pushed under the guise of environmental concern – courtesy of the disastrous Green New Deal.
Tonight, after a great deal of work and engagement over the weekend, the Budget Committee advanced a reconciliation bill that lays the foundation for much needed tax relief, border security, and important spending reductions and reforms. Importantly the bill now will move…

In the face of relentless liberal attacks and desperate attempts to paint this bill negatively, conservative stalwarts like Chip Roy have held firm. They’ve known from the get-go that America deserves better than the circus the left continues to sell. Roy laid out clear improvements the bill brings, like tax relief and a boost to our border security, while calling out Medicaid scams that masquerade as aid but really undercut the vulnerable for political gain.
Yet, some conservatives showed restraint by choosing to vote present, a strategic move allowing the bill to move forward without fully capitulating to parts still ripe for improvement. They understand negotiations continue, and that this bill, while on the right path, must be perfected before hitting the House floor. This is the kind of tactical, smart decision-making that the American people crave from their representatives—the exact opposite of the failed leadership that the Democrats constantly showcase on every issue, from finances to foreign policy.
The truth is, America cannot afford another minute of inaction due to bickering politicians more focused on placating global interests than serving the needs of its citizens. Don’t be fooled. This bill represents a solid first step, but conservatives know the real fight begins now. Will this be the moment when we turn the tide and truly Make America Great Again? Or will Washington’s swamp once again claim victory? The fight is far from over, and conservative America is watching closely.
