WASHINGTON – US Senate Democrats have managed to eliminate more than a dozen policy changes from the Republican “big, beautiful bill.”

The deleted language It would have transferred some costs With the state government running a supplemental nutrition support program, it could potentially entrust billions of states added to their food aid programs for low-income people.

Democrats also dodged a proposal to remove funds to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Consumer Financial Protection Agency is another proposal that bans complaints about banks and other financial institutions and federal district court judges attempt to prohibit issuing national injunctions.

Among the remaining contested items, Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, in a social media post, said he was Years of effort to reapprove The Radiation Exposure Compensation Fund (RECA) passed what is known as the “Bird Bass” test at Capitol Hill.

“Great news for Missouri, Radiation Survivors and Maha: Reka passed the ‘Bird Bus’. The Democrats didn’t strip it up – and it’s the final bill.” “Big step forward #maha.”

Democrats continue their challenges

Budget Committee ranking member Jeff Merkley (D-ore.) cheered on many of the Congressional rulings, but the Republican committee chair says he is looking for ways to rewrite various proposals.

“Today, we were advised by the Senator that some more provisions in this big, beautiful betrayal of this bill will be subject to the Bird Rules, and Democrats have plans to challenge every part of this bill that hurts working families and violates this process.” “The relentless attack on middle-class Republican Republican families to fund billionaires tax credits is a slap in the face for families working everywhere, and Democrats are fighting back.”

With this change, Senate majority leader John Tune, Rs.D. , and ultimately, R-La, where almost every GOP lawmaker in Congress will need to vote for the cleaning tax and spending reduction package to become law.

house Voted 215-214 to approve The version of the bill in May, but the Senate is making major changes, so the House must vote again for the measure before going to President Donald Trump for his signature. The GOP Leader hopes to complete it all by July 4th.

Republicans are using settlements instead of moving the bill into the usual legislative process to avoid requiring democratic votes to overcome the Senate’s 60-vote legislative filibuster.

However, the lower threshold for passing the settlement bill has several requirements, including that all proposals in the package are not “merely contingent” to spending or revenue.

The Senator is the official Chamber of Commerce scorekeeper with a detailed understanding of rules and procedures, and listens to those policies and from both Republicans and Democrats before announcing the ruling.

Bird Baths began closed room last week and lasted at least a few days. Once that’s over, Senate GOP leaders can move the bill to the floor. Members of both parties can ask for votes on as many revisions as they wish..

Snap Program

John Boosman, Chairman of the Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, R-ARK. His committee bill After Congress ruled, it ruled that some provisions must comply with the rules.

“To curb federal spending and protect taxpayer dollars, the committee is pursuing meaningful reforms to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to improve efficiency, accountability and integrity,” writes Boozman. “We continue to look at options to comply with Senate rules and adhere to Senate rules to achieve savings through budget adjustments to serve those who really need it while SNAP is a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars.”

Congress ruled that the committee was erroneous by including languages ​​that would have shifted some of the costs of the SNAP program to government if it had not met the efficiency benchmark before 2028.

A Merkley press release also found that the proposal to eliminate “immigrants who are not citizens or legal permanent residents or immigrants who are not legal permanent residents” was deemed to be in compliance with the rules.

Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a ranking member of the committee, wrote the Congressional ruling.

“The Republican proposed cuts in snaps will be devastating to families, farmers and independent grocery stores across the country, but we will continue to fight to protect families in need. Instead of a rushing partisan process, Republicans will need to cut costs for Americans and pass the Bipartissan farm bill that works for all farmers and rural areas.”

DEMS consumer financial institution victory

Senate Bank, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee Proposals to eliminate funds For the Congressional Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Established The Dodd Frankwall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 does not comply with rules, based on Congressional rulings.

Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a ranking member of the panel, wrote in a statement that the GOP’s proposal to the CFPB “is a reckless and dangerous attack on consumers, leading to more Americans being fooled and trapped by huge financial institutions, and risking the stability of the entire financial system.”

But committee chair Tim Scott (Rs.C.) wrote in another statement that he is “committed to advance legislation that reduces federal waste and duplication and saves taxpayer dollars.”

Scott listed the provisions he said he had left.

“As of the current situation, the Banking Committee’s settlement provision will delay the implementation of Dodd Frank’s Section 1071, reduce CFPB spending and protect the privacy and data of small business owners. “My colleagues and I continue to be committed to reducing wasted spending at the CFPB and will continue to work with the senators on the committee’s provisions.”

Judge and injunction

The lawmaker told lawmakers a number of factors. Judicial Committee bill Do not comply with rules that include attempts to block U.S. District Court judges from issuing interim national injunctions or temporary restraining orders.

The issue has been thorny on Trump’s side for the past few months as he watched the court interfere with some of his executive orders and prevented other unsolved management actions.

The Judiciary Commission’s settlement bill cannot block the Department of Justice from awarding Barn Jag and police grants to “sanctuary cities.” The bill also cannot send funds to local and state governments with the aim of “arresting aliens illegally present in the United States.”

Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, declined to respond to a request for comment, but a spokesman for the committee wrote in an email to the state newsroom that “Democrats are sticking to their radical open border legacy by fighting to maintain criminal immigration in the United States.”

“Republicans are committed to implementing the rule of law, and will use all available measures to secure our borders, wipe out any disruption left behind by the dire policies of the Biden-Harris administration, and ensure that courts operate in accordance with legal and constitutional standards.”

Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, a ranking member of the committee, issued a statement saying he “stopped power in an attempt by a Republican colleague that we don’t support” the bill’s policies.

“The attempt by Senate Republicans to sneak into what is called a big, beautiful bill is a provision intended to challenge the unlawful Trump administration enforcement action by placing these plaintiffs on the hook for millions of dollars.

Artificial Intelligence and Conditions

However, Congress did not remove all proposals contested by Democrats.

If these jurisdictions want to receive money from $500 million funds, languages ​​that prevent local and state governments from regulating artificial intelligence for the next 10 years can meet and stay the settlement requirements Commerce Commission, Science and Transportation Bills.

However, that doesn’t mean that the provision will remain on the bill as some GOP lawmakers have expressed concern about potentially linking local and state government hands with regard to AI.

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene I wrote it on a social media post After she voted for the house bill, she was unaware of AI regulations. The chamber’s package banned state and local AI regulations for 10 years without being tied to the funding flow.

“We don’t know what AI will be able to do over the next decade. It’s potentially dangerous to tie up free reins and state hands,” Green wrote. “This needs to be stripped by the Senate.

“After the Senate has been changed, when the OBBB returns home to confirm, I will not vote for this.”
