As we reported earlier, Sen. Chuck Schumer went home and had a good night's rest while Senate aides spent 16 hours reading aloud the text of President Donald Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill. Though it's a shame Schumer didn't have to sit through the whole thing, it's not such a bad idea for senators to know what they're voting on.
Sen. Mark Warner is rested up and ready to fight the Big, Beautiful Bill, which he ranted about in the car while being driven to Capitol Hill, we imagine. He said that Democrats will do everything they can to kill the bill, which he calls the most destructive bill he's ever seen.
Today’s the day. I’ll be fighting the worst, most destructive bill I’ve seen in my time in the Senate. pic.twitter.com/GJwPPxg2wI

Do the Democrats stand a chance? No. But Warner claims that he's tired of talking to Republican senators who oppose the bill in private. We suppose he ran into retiring Sen. Thom Tillis at the Senate cafeteria or something.
I’m tired of my Republican colleagues telling me in private how they feel about this terrible bill… it’s time to vote like it.

“… in private …”

We’re supposed to believe you at face value?
You’re a politician for God’s sake!
We don’t believe you.
No one is talking to you.
— Kat Loves Dogs (@katluffyace) June 30, 2025
Now that sounds true.
It’s the only way they can get you to shut up. Obviously they don’t want to speak with you. They’re voting yes.

Bullshit. No Republican is telling you squat.

We suppose that's his way of keeping hope alive … pretending that he's spoken privately with tons of Republican senators who actually oppose the bill. People in the replies who believe him want him to name names and shame these spineless Republicans. We're sure they all consult with Warner regularly.
