Providing for Consideration of Senate Amendment to H.R. One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, when we say that the Republican Party has turned into a cult, this is what we mean. Our Republican colleagues are pushing a bill that would throw their constituents under the bus, a bill that flies in the face of everything they claim to stand for, all because Donald Trump wants a bill-signing photo op by the Fourth of July.

My Republican colleagues know that this bill will cost 17 million Americans their health insurance. They know that nursing homes in their own districts will have to close down. They know that, under this bill, $5 trillion of debt is being added that will be paid for by my children, your children, and their children for generations to come so that today's billionaires can get a tax break.

They know that this bill is unpopular. Many of their vulnerable Members will lose reelection over it, but the cult leader has decided. He wants his photo op on July Fourth, and our Kool-Aid-drinking colleagues are going along with it.

They know this is wrong. They still have a chance to do right by their constituents and their convictions.

Vote ``no'' on this bill.
