The U.S. House passed a spending bill backed by President Trump that will lead to massive tax and government spending cuts.

The spending bill passed 216-214, with both sides voting along party lines, except two Republicans voting no and siding with Democrats.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky) and Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind) voted no.

After voting no, Massie went on X and wrote,”If you were trying to hasten financial collapse of our country and bribe voters to go along with it, the strategy wouldn’t look much different than what Congress is doing today.”

He added, “The big beautiful bill cuts taxes while keeping spending on an increasingly unsustainable trajectory.”

Per Fox News:

In a massive victory for President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., the House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday that will set the stage for a massive conservative policy overhaul.

The legislation passed mostly along party lines on Thursday morning after a long night of negotiations between House GOP leaders and fiscal hawks who were critical of its spending cut levels.

Just two Republicans voted against the legislation – Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Victoria Spartz, R-Ind. – which passed 216 to 214. No Democrats supported it, as expected. Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., held a press conference on Thursday morning in a bid to allay conservatives’ concerns.

If you were trying to hasten financial collapse of our country and bribe voters to go along with it, the strategy wouldn’t look much different than what Congress is doing today.

Here’s what Politico reported:

The House finally approved a budget Thursday, uncorking the filibuster-skirting power Republicans need to build and enact President Donald Trump’s dream bill along party lines this year.

The final vote was 216-214, with two Republicans — Reps. Victoria Spartz of Indiana and Thomas Massie of Kentucky — joining all Democrats in voting “no.”

Now Republicans on both sides of the Capitol can begin the even-heavier lift of writing — and then whipping support for — the behemoth package of tax cuts, military spending, energy policy, border security investments and more. That process will pit fiscal hawks against moderate Republicans as GOP leaders try to square their conflicting demands to protect safety-net programs like Medicaid while cutting trillions of dollars from that slice of the federal budget.

In a significant win for Trump and GOP leaders in Congress — and after days of suspense — dozens of Republican holdouts ultimately agreed to vote to clear the Senate-adopted blueprint after Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune publicly promised to seek at least $1.5 trillion in spending cuts to safety-net programs in the final package.
