Budget Bill, Tariffs and Crypto Dinners

Headline from The Onion on last week’s 214-213 House vote on the president’s Big, Beautiful (budget) bill: “Republican Infighting Erupts Over Whether Trump Bill Beautiful or Handsome.” 

The Senate still has its say on the Big Beautiful Bill Act, and markups begin next Monday, June 2, with hopes a reconciliation package will land on President Trump’s Resolute Desk before Congress’ August break (though there’s still all of September before the next fiscal year). 

Pundits expect a major rewrite of the bill in the Senate, where only a majority is needed for passage. 

This gives us lots of time to fill the right and left columns with your comments on the bill. And on Trump’s tariff roller-coaster. And on the mix of the Trump presidency with the Trump Organization’s business dealings.
