Already previously posted that I dislike what is in the bill and support what Rep Chip Roy has been trying to do to fight it.
Trump is pushing Republicans to fall in line behind his agenda. Chip Roy could stand in the way | CNN Politics
As President Donald Trump attempts to muscle his agenda through the House, Rep. Chip Roy is perhaps the most important holdout to win over. He may also be the toughest.
I hold Trump to do what he says he can do.

Judge blocks Trump administration’s mass layoffs at the Education Department
Associated Press
Published 10:29 AM CDT
A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order to shut down the Education Department and ordered the agency to reinstate employees who were fired in mass layoffs.
U.S. District Judge Myong Joun in Boston granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Trump administration from carrying out two plans announced in March that sought to work toward Trump’s goal to dismantle the department. It marks a setback to one of the Republican president’s campaign promises.
The injunction was requested in a lawsuit filed by the Somerville and Easthampton school districts in Massachusetts and the American Federation of Teachers, along with other education groups.
In their lawsuit, the groups said the layoffs amounted to an illegal shutdown of the Education Department. They said it left the department unable to carry out responsibilities required by Congress, including duties to support special education, distribute financial aid and enforce civil rights laws.
In his order, Joun said the plaintiffs painted a “stark picture of the irreparable harm that will result from financial uncertainty and delay, impeded access to vital knowledge on which students and educators rely, and loss of essential services for America’s most vulnerable student populations.”
Layoffs of that scale, he added, “will likely cripple the Department.”
Joun ordered the Education Department to reinstate federal workers who were terminated as part of the March 11 layoff announcement.
The Trump administration says the layoffs are aimed at efficiency, not a department shutdown. Trump has called for the closure of the agency but recognizes it must be carried out by Congress, the government said.
The administration said restructuring the agency “may impact certain services until the reorganization is finished” but it’s committed to fulfilling its statutory requirements.

House Bill Could Permanently End Personal Exemptions and Work Expense Deductions
Your tax filing could look dramatically different after 2025 if new legislation passes. The bill would maintain lower tax rates but permanently eliminate personal exemptions and restrict mortgage interest deductions

So we gain vehicle intrest but lose mortgage intrest?
That seems to penalize people who buy vehicles with cash. Im guessing it would hurt the wealthy slightly (dude with $50 mil in the bank isn't taking a car loan) but Im not sure what it would do to the middle class.
Personally Im looking to move in the next year or two so Im not a fan.

'Hidden' provision in Trump's big bill could disarm US Supreme Court
The provision would bar courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless a bond has been paid.
www.newsweek.com
Big Beautiful Bill has provision to prevent courts from enforcing rulings.
"No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued," the provision in the bill, which is more than 1,000 pages long, says.
The provision "would make most existing injunctions—in antitrust cases, police reform cases, school desegregation cases, and others—unenforceable," Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the University of California Berkeley School of Law, told Newsweek. "It serves no purpose but to weaken the power of the federal courts."
The provision would prohibit courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders—the main types of rulings that have been used to rein in President Donald Trump's administration—unless the plaintiffs have paid a bond, something that rarely happens when someone sues the government.
If enacted, it would be a "stunning" restriction on the power of federal courts, Chemerinsky wrote in an article for Just Security.
"The Supreme Court has long recognized that the contempt power is integral to the authority of the federal courts," he wrote. "Without the ability to enforce judicial orders, they are rendered mere advisory opinions which parties are free to disregard."
