House GOP just passed Trump’s monstrous budget bill

And it’s ugly   John: Overnight, the House GOP advanced their budget bill to a floor vote, and it passed 215-214. Not a single Democrat voted for this monstrous legislation that Trump calls his “big, beautiful bill.” It will now move to the Senate. This bill gives massiv…
