House Republicans could afford only three members to vote against a rule that would allow Donald Trump's budget bill to proceed to the next step in the voting process, but an unexpected fourth "no" vote has added an element of chaos to an already bizarre vote.

I would date the official death of McCain and Romney’s brand of conservatism to Tuesday, when Senate Republicans passed the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) which funds Trump’s priorities on national security and immigration while also extending the tax cuts he put into place during his first term.
