This is our time to choose to take America back and chart our path to sanity, security, and prosperity. I will continue to stand against the status quo in Congress - to be an independent voice for the average Texan getting crushed by big government and crony corporations #TX21

Correct. more to do.
Repeal of the IRA credits, while imperfect, is a huge win for taxpayers. “If you require a money-spigot from Washington to make your business viable, it probably shouldn’t have been in business in the first place,” said Adam Michel, director of tax policy studies @CatoInstitute.

Well, Brendan - we may disagree on virtually all policy questions. But at least we agree that the @freedomcaucus has successfully delivered substantive wins. There may be a few more yet :).
Chip Roy and the House Freedom Caucus will likely vote for the bill. People are going to call this a “cave.”. It isn’t. They have successfully rolled their moderate colleagues and achieved larger Medicaid, SNAP, and clean energy cuts than anyone thought likely six months ago.

The real story of the OBBB is reforming Medicaid to require work & to return spending to pre-COVID levels, saving over $1 Trillion. A modest but important reform that would not have happened if the @freedomcaucus had not fought for it.
The main fiscal effect of the health provisions of OBBB is to gradually restore the projected path of federal Medicaid & Obamacare subsidy spending to the pre-Biden levels. Total spending in 2025 is ~$200 billion, or 33% higher, than what CBO projected just four years ago!

Don’t blame me - I voted no. cc: @RepRalphNorman.
🚨UPDATE:. In drafting the rule yesterday, House Republicans made a mistake. They forgot to order the previous question as part of the rule. This is wonky, but it's important and they are going to want to fix this. Without ordering the previous question, @SpeakerJohnson.
