** Vice President J.D. Vance shared the Big Beautiful Bill's Secrets out loud. You should hear this..
------------------------------------------------------------
I rarely tell you about my podcast. But this episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka was practically made for the Agenda Setters by Downsize DC community.

You are already familiar with the Read the Bills Act ([link removed]) and the One Subject at a Time Act ([link removed]) . In this episode, we break down why those reforms are more urgent than ever.

The trigger? The Vice President shared...



** The Big Beautiful Bill's Secrets
------------------------------------------------------------
In a recent podcast, Vice President J.D. Vance said the quiet part out loud: Congress skips key procedures because slowing down would stop them from "keeping promises."

That's why they bypass debate, mash everything into an unreadable 1,100+ page monstrosity, and dare anyone to vote no.

In other words, the process is broken on purpose.

Why People Call Me About Big Beautiful Bill - Gracearchy with Jim Babka EP132
Here at Agenda Setters by Downsize DC, we not only have these powerful bills, but also strategies like The 300 ([link removed]) and Option Activism ([link removed]) to build pressure for real reforms.

This episode explains:
* How unread bills lead to hidden law
* Why members of Congress vote for things they didn’t know were in the bill (and why many of them agree that bills should be limited to One Subject)
* What Theo Von asked that stunned JD Vance
* The enforcement mechanism that gives YOU the power to challenge unread laws
* And more!

Listen now and share this with someone who says, “That’s just how Congress works.”
