At the same time, the polarization of #Congress means that few pieces of #legislation make it to the floor or enactment—& the few “must pass” bills that do are almost always stuffed full of unrelated measures that would otherwise be unable to pass on their own.
In the case of the 1,037-pg bill the #GOP calls the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, #Republicans barely cobbled together the votes to pass it after a fight within their ranks & significant pressure from #Trump to pass his domestic priorities.

The #Republicans’ *remorseful* statements highlight the realities of legislating in the modern age. Members of #Congress, divided bitterly along partisan lines & often working against self-imposed political deadlines, have become accustomed to having their leaders throw together huge pieces of #legislation at the very last moment — & often do not read the entirety of the bill they are voting on, if they read any of it at all.

…the sprawling #legislation to advance #tax
& #spending cuts & to cement much of #Trump’s domestic agenda included a raft of provisions that drew little notice or debate on the #House floor. Now, #Republicans who rallied behind the bill are claiming buyer’s remorse about measures they swear they did not know were included.

The #legislation was expected to add significantly to the #debt, given the enormous cost of extending the #TaxCuts for corporations & the rich that #Republicans put into place in 2017, the central pillar of the bill. #FarRight lawmakers demanded that the party use their total #control of Washington to also slash #spending & contain the cost of the legislation, but the #CBO’s estimate was a reminder that the party fell well short of covering the roughly $3.8 trillion cost of extending the cuts.

Susie Madrak reveals how Elon Musk is actively lobbying Congress for a bill that establishes a regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles. Despite his ties with President Trump, questions arise about the actual demand for driverless cars, especially in cities like Manhattan.

Discover the implications of this effort here: crooksandliars.com/2025/05/wou. #ElonMusk #AutonomousVehicles #Legislation #Congress #Tesla #Technology #PublicPolicy.
