Perfect! EXACTLY RIGHT. 🌞🫡 and simply don’t FORGET THE RULES & their 🫡 🪃RIGHT Trump? This Parliamentarians’ BOOK 📖 OF RULES that you cannot match no gaslight because Elizabeth McDonough PLAYS ONLY BY THE QUITE TRUSTWORTHY TREASURED SMART WISE RULES TOOL!
Now exactly what is the remains post REDACTIONS ARE ELIMINATED & what did our applied RULES SAVE IN PROPERTY, SAVINGS, and FINANCIALLY?
Elizabeth McDonough is the true savior of democracy.
I know she was “just doing her job”, but isn’t that the most heroic act in the face of the fascists that want to RAPE the country and for only themselves goes without saying it.
I will say this:
ANY man AND/OR the woman that goes along with the Project 2025 agenda will rue that day and pay for their transgressions with their children’s lives.
This article is outstanding and very impactful. It represents true journalism, and finding a gem like this—a light in the darkness of the GOP—is remarkable. Elizabeth is a powerhouse, and I appreciate her professionalism and her commitment to hard work without resorting to theatrics. Thank you.
While you're thanking Elizabeth McConough, you need to also thank Sen. Robert C. Byrd, for whom the "Byrd Bath" that McConough put the bill through was named. Sen. Byrd has jumped out of the grave to swat the big ugly Christmas tree full of the MAGA wish-list. Sen. Byrd was from West Virginia, which is where I am from. Coming from very humble beginnings, he put himself through law schooll. He always carried around a copy of the Constitution, and he had great respect for the law. It enraged him to see Congress using the Reconciliation process to jam a bunch of unpopular items into the budget bill under Reconciliation, so there wouldn;t have to be debate on each item. So inn the 1980s, he convinced Congress to pass the Byrd rule, which says the Parliamentarian will go through every bill passed under Reconciliation and take out anything that has little or no impact on the budget. That's what Elizabeth is doing.
Robert Byrd is a living testament to how people can grow. In his youth, he joined the Ku Klux Klan, a move he frequently said in later life that he regretted. When George Bush declared war on Iraq, Robert C. Byrd was the only Senator to stand against it. So it is very fitting to see him rise again, to torpedo this monstrosity. He would have hated the Trump administration's blatant disregard for the law. Wherever he is, he is most likely smiling.
The bill is in shambles at this point. It's been written, exposed, voted down, re-written, re-exposed, passed back and forth, gutted, added to, subtracted from, and it truly seems up in the at this point if Trump can get it to pass the House. He certainly can't do it before July 4th weekend, and people are starting to pay attention now in ways they haven't in so, so long. It's like watching a long-term coma patient start to show signs of consciousness or voluntary mobility: the fact that it's happening at all is a miracle, but you have to watch what happens next carefully all the same. I hope the patient - as it were - wakes to a better state of mind than many of those around them.
I’ve also heard mention of some procedure that allows for overrule of the parliamentarian but it’s exceedingly rare. If anyone was going to try, it would certainly be this flaming shithole of a congressional body. But I also believe a lot of the majority knew this was performative bullshit and expected the parliamentarian to do their heavy lifting and take the wrath of Dear Leader. This woman may be the only thing saving us between now and the midterms.
I remember the Dems having to curtail their Rec Bill because of her... The GOP is a wrecking ball and the rules and laws are in its path this term. I know they will try to sabotage her, defang or replace her, and eek in the illegal items. But she will also have to up her security, protect her family, and field death threats from the ‘party of law and order.’
great post. Wonderlful work. Thank you Elizabeth McDonough. Let's hope the Senate majority doesn't try to get rid of her and appoint a trump toady instead.
I really appreciate the explanation and of the Senate Parliamentarian. The role has been referenced a lot recently and I had no clue who or what it was. Kudos to you Elizabeth McDonough for standing up for the United State’s Constitution. She stands for TRUTH and FACTS. Nothing wrong with that.
Thank you Elizabeth McDonough! We do indeed salute you and are appreciative for what you do in these troubled times and how you diligently walk the path of your confident responsibilities.
Thanks for introducing us to Elizabeth! A refreshing aspect of the Senate in a sea of dead weight, know-nothings, elected officials who cannot remember their oaths of office and who kowtow to that dick in the White House. If only there were more people like her in government. I hope she keeps her job.
Thank you, Elizabeth McDonough for doing your job. We salute you we see you.

And..... the women will lead them.
Maybe not a true Scripture line but it should be.
Public courage begets public courage
Do what you can with what you have for as long as you can - that's your legacy
Thank you!

She is the bulwark we need, but I read that the Senate can ignore her. Is that true?
No, but they could fire her.

That would be a signature move for the "law and order" gang,
yes
😓
Damn. I was afraid of that.

She’s going by the law and is bipartisan and that’s they way it should be and she needs to be respected 🇺🇸
No.

Thanks for the info. Hearing about Ms. McDonough is hopeful and refreshing. Hope she continues as long as she can. Terrific lady.
I didn’t know then but, I know now…Thank you Elizabeth McDonough.
I love it. One more woman telling MAGA to fuck off.
Thank you Elizabeth McDonough! We do indeed salute you and are appreciative for what you do in these troubled times and how you diligently walk the path of your confident responsibilities.
Hero. You deserve a pay raise. We all thank you for your diligence. Thank you for developing the competence to accomplish this. Stand tall.
