I have to say I am a bit shocked

and while he should have just replaced her...Thune appears to have retrieved his balls from the parliamentarian's purse.

NEW: Senate GOP Discovers Spine – Puts Three Key Provisions Including Defunding of Medicare for Illegals Back In “Big Beautiful Bill” Following Parliamentarian Ruling

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the Senate GOP finally grew a spine and sent a message to the unelected bureaucrat trying to tear apart President Trump’s big, beautiful bill.

As TGP readers know, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough struck down several key features of Trump’s “Big, Beautiful bill,” on Thursday, including defunding of Medicaid for illegal aliens and defunding “gender-affirming care” under Medicaid and CHIP, citing the Byrd rule.

MacDonough also axed the Medicare Provider tax, which complicated the Senate GOP’s math on the spending cuts they wanted to use to help pass the legislation.

This was the second time MacDonough has removed key parts of Trump’s bill. As the Gateway Pundit reported, MacDonough last weekend struck down several GOP provisions in the bill by applying the ‘Byrd Rule.’

But on Sunday morning, the Senate GOP managed to work around MacDonough and implement language that cleared her previous ruling.

This time, she rolled over.

as if there isn't enough

The Parliamentarian operates under the extraconstitutional "Byrd Rule" that Harry Reid imposed.

Meaning, even post mortem, the Democrats still want KKKlan influence running things.
