Pelosi Slams Trump’s BBB: ‘Throw A Punch For The Children’Pelosi Slams Trump’s BBB: ‘Throw A Punch For The Children’
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling on Congress to vote against President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”
“One minute. Thank you — Mr. Speaker, thank you for your leadership, Mr. McGovern. The gentleman just ended by saying, to vote for this Big, Beautiful Bill. This Big, Beautiful Bill? Well, if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then you, GOP, you have a very blurred vision of what America is about,” Pelosi said during brief remarks on the House floor.
“Is it beautiful to cut off food from seniors and children? Is it beautiful to cut off 17 million people from health care? Is it beautiful to do this? To give tax cuts to billionaires in our country? Is it beautiful to take money from education and the rest?” Pelosi snidely asked.

“The list goes on and on. Dr. King, nearly 60 years ago, said: ‘Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death.’ We come to this floor with the moral force of Dr. King’s words in our heart. Let us not with this bill turn the American dream he talked about into a nightmare for America’s seniors, the disabled, our children. Our children. Our children. Let us vote ‘no’ on this shameful bill — and throw a punch for the children,” she added.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is lauding President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” as “the most conservative legislation we’ve ever worked on.”
During an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Johnson spoke about House Republicans’ plans to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill and deliver Trump’s full agenda to the American people.

“85 to 90% of this bill is the House generated product. The Senate made some modifications to it. They made it more conservative in some places and moderated it a little bit in others. But I’ll tell you what, as the President said so well today, this is no longer just a House bill, it’s not a Senate bill, it’s the bill of the hardworking American people,” Johnson said.
“We’re at the one-yard line in this game that’s been played over a year, really. We worked on this for about 14 months to get us to this point. We’re going to run it right up the middle and score for the American people. And I tell you what, everybody is going to benefit from this bill Sean. As you noted all those features, it’s the most conservative piece of legislation we’ve ever worked on. You need to mention at the same time that even though while we’re having historic tax cuts, we also have historic savings. We’re going to save $1.6 trillion for the American people,” he continued.
“We’re going to cut down the size and scope of government, make it more efficient, make it work better for the people. They demand and deserve that, and the Republicans are delivering,” Johnson declared.
He added, “But when you’re talking about Medicaid, we need to make sure the program is sustained for the people it’s intended for. That’s, you know, the elderly, the disabled, young pregnant mothers, down on the luck, for example. So that’s what we do by reinstituting work requirements. If you’re a young able-bodied man, you should be helping to pull the wagon, not riding it.”

“And so we have this very popular provision that says if you’re going to receive Medicaid, you got to show that you’re working or at least looking for a job or volunteering in your community for 20 hours a week. It should be much more, but that is a minimal requirement that will reduce a lot of the abuse of the program and shore it up for the people that need it the most. We’re very proud of that. And by the way, the American people love it. It’s a commonsense provision,” Johnson said.
“We’re estimating the average American will have an additional $10,000 take home pay because of this. You will have no taxes on your tips and on your overtime. Seniors will get a reduction in taxes, because of a credit they’ll have, those on social security,” he said.
