Mark Davis:

The Big Beautiful Bill went through the wringer from both parties on its way to passage. But now that it’s law, it can be appreciated by anyone with the eyes to see its benefits. Congress averted a massive tax increase, with additional good news for workers in the form of tax relief on tips and overtime. Voters clearly asked for functional borders and a more efficient government, and the OBBBA takes valuable steps toward both. Critics may be shocked, but this bill amounts to President Trump delivering what he ran on.

David Faris:

By strong-arming the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law, the president demonstrated he has successfully imposed European-style party discipline on Republicans. From the massive, insane expansion of ICE and tax giveaways to the rich to the cruel gutting of Medicaid and the National Parks Service, this bill is a devastatingly clear reflection of the GOP’s legislative and moral priorities. It makes everyday life worse for millions of Americans and imposes almost unimaginable suffering on MAGA’s enemies, which is exactly what its architects hoped for and what America’s political choices have made all but inevitable.

Davis:

The GOP’s overwhelming support for the bill was not the result of authoritarian pressure, but a rare and welcome event in party history—conservative leadership from the president, with principled agreement from a Republican majority in Congress. Far from “suffering,” MAGA adherents and enemies alike will enjoy a strong border and an invigorated economy.

Faris:

Far from principled agreement, members of Congress are going along with this bill to avoid President Trump’s vengeance. They know the devastation that Medicaid losses, hospital closures, and service cuts will inflict on their constituencies. But these things are the essence of Trumpism—and the beating heart of this bill.

Davis:Is there any reduction in the size of government that would not bring such cries of ruin? And if a few congressional Republicans did indeed subjugate their own gripes in order to go along with the president—and thus the will of the voters—good for them. I’m sure Bill Clinton and Barack Obama had to work to bring Democrats around to their agenda at times, and it was not viewed as sinister.

Faris:

The process of the bill’s passage is less of a problem than the outcome, which polls very poorly and lavishes obscene amounts of money on an ICE detention gulag that will not help anyone pay their bills. The bill ultimately continues a generations-long Republican tendency to transfer wealth upward while abandoning working Americans.

Davis:The wealth transfer Trump seeks is from government to taxpayers. Know what polls poorly? A nation overrun by illegal immigrants and government spending without limits. These are being fixed. Know what benefits American workers? More American jobs. That is what’s happening, and it’s part of the reason Trump has wrestled working-class voters away from Democrats.
