BREAKING: Trump is threatening to terminate Musk’s government contracts because Musk has been slamming “BUB” (Big Ugly Bill). It’s just a bluff, of course, because 🌮, but this is going to be an interesting period leading up to the midterms.
Musk says any Pub in Congress who votes for BUB should be fired. If he starts spending money on primarying congressional incumbents, he could shake up the entire Congress.

Musk could have all the $ in the world. It won’t matter in Republican primaries if he’s going up against a Trump endorsed candidate.
You’re not understanding that many Republican constituents in red states don’t like this bill and will be hurt by it. No fiscal conservative should like this bill, particularly after they become more familiar with it.
Voter Dissatisfaction + Musk Money = Successful Primary Challengers
No guarantees, of course, that Musk will spend money to upend things in ‘26. But he might, and that’s why he’s still got the upper hand.
The BBB isn't polling well. Fiscal conservatives don't like it because it adds nearly 3 trillion to the debt over 10 years and liberals don't like it for other reasons. That along with the President's falling approval ratings make its passage iffy, I think.

"With Medicaid's future as a healthcare safety net for millions suddenly uncertain, voters make it clear they want the 60-year-old program for those in need to be handled with care," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.

The bill will pass. In some form similar to what it is now. Because it not passing means the Trump presidency is dead in the water. And Republicans won’t let that happen.The BBB isn't polling well.

Such a political neophyte you are.
Your last sentence wasn't necessary, and it's stupid. The President's political capital is dissipating, and the bill is a bad dream for fiscally conservative Republicans and there can't be any defections on that side to pass it. Defections are in the offing for sure.
Nope.
Principled fiscal Conservatism is running up against political reality with this bill.
The Republicans don’t have a big enough majority in the senate much less the house to pass a budget balanced bill or anything close to it. Obviously.
It will pass.
And as someone who seemingly hates any and all government cuts, from DOGE to the military to SS. I can’t believe you are one to talk.
Adding $3T to the debt is fiscally conservative?
Once again, you're full of shit. I've advocated for reducing debt and deficits for many years. I've been for reforming the Ponzi scheme that is Social Security for at least two decades. You have no clue what you're talking about which is why my recommendation to you is always to STFU.
DOGE was an obviously ridiculous way to cut government and that's pretty much proven at this point.
Where are all the people who bitch about the government picking winners and losers instead of letting the market decide?
BBB is dead in the Senate, and the Senate version that has been leaked won’t pass the House.
Gonna be a rough July for Trump. They will be rushing to get passed before August recess.
He’s on the cusp of a Nobel. He’s going to have a banner July. That’ll mean more to him than the suffering of a billion people
