Senate Majority Leader Thune has stated he will not fire the Parliamentarian who is gutting the BBB. There is a possibility that JD Vance can step in and overrule her, but it would cause problems. However, many of the stricken provisions can be brought into compliance with minor technical changes, according to GOP lawmakers. So, perhaps this can still be reconciled peacefully.
According to Bill Mitchell, JD Vance can overrule her.
JD VANCE CAN’T FIRE THE PARLIAMENTARIAN BUT HE CAN OVERRULE HER!

The GOP Senator from Alabama is pushing Majority Leader Thune (R-SD) to fire the WOKE Senate Parliamentarian, Ms. McDonough. She struck down a provision banning illegals from stealing Medicaid from American citizens. MacDonough is slashing away at many provisions just as important as this one. All those provisions will need to be put in separate bills and must get 60 votes, which they will never get.
At the core of the problem is John Thune who won’t say ‘no’ to her and won’t fire her. We can spend all day looking into his motives, but the best thing to do is push for her firing so he has no excuse to gut the BBB.
Unelected bureaucrats think they know better than U.S. Congressmen who are elected by the people. That’s true. She wants her way. Her job is not to push a woke agenda.
Sen. Tuberville wants her fired. He wrote on X:
The WOKE Senate Parliamentarian, who was appointed by Harry Reid and advised Al Gore, just STRUCK DOWN a provision BANNING illegals from stealing Medicaid from American citizens. This is a perfect example of why Americans hate THE SWAMP. Unelected bureaucrats think they know better than U.S. Congressmen who are elected BY THE PEOPLE. Her job is not to push a woke agenda. THE SENATE PARLIAMENTARIAN SHOULD BE FIRED ASAP.
The Parliamentarian also ruled against provisions to prohibit federal funding of Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for adults or kids whose immigration status cannot be immediately verified and to lower federal Medicaid funding for states that provide Medicaid coverage to immigrants in the country illegally.
She ruled against many of the best provisions.
“The WOKE Senate Parliamentarian, who was appointed by Harry Reid and advised Al Gore, just STRUCK DOWN a provision BANNING illegals from stealing Medicaid from American citizens. This is a perfect example of why Americans hate THE SWAMP,” Tuberville posted on the social platform X.
“Unelected bureaucrats think they know better than U.S. Congressmen who are elected BY THE PEOPLE. Her job is not to push a woke agenda. THE SENATE PARLIAMENTARIAN SHOULD BE FIRED ASAP,” he said.
The last thing we need is an unfair referee getting in the way of our fight to Make America Great Again.
77 MILLION Americans VOTED for President Trump’s “America First” agenda…and that includes the ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL.

Senator Jim Banks also has strong words for MacDonough but included the “squishy Republicans.”
“We’re not going to let the parliamentarian, Democrats, or even squishy Republicans stop us from passing President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill to cut taxes for working families and fund mass deportations.”

Democrats Guide MacDonough’s Hand
Anyone who thinks Elizabeth MacDonough is nonpartisan only has to listen to Democrats. She is in league with Democrats, maybe some Republicans.
The Senate budget committee’s leading Democrat celebrated McDonough’s latest cuts announced on Friday.
“We have been successful in removing parts of this bill that hurt families and workers, but the process is not over, and Democrats are continuing to make the case against every provision in this Big, Beautiful Betrayal of a bill that violates Senate rules,” said ranking member Jeff Merkley (D-OR). “Republicans are actively attempting to rewrite major sections of this bill to advance their families lose, and billionaires win agenda, but Democrats are scrutinizing all changes to ensure the rules of reconciliation are enforced. We cannot let Republicans succeed in betraying middle-class families across this country.”
give me a break… this is all scripted and none of us believe what these putz’s are trying to sell… NOW is the time to identify, call out, and REMOVE these rinos.
Thune is a stinking RINO. He and the Parliamentarian likely worked this out in advance to keep providing money to illegals. They’re f*cking rats.
Thune has long been a RINO woosy. He needs to be run out of town on a rail.
Pass the dam bill then fire her and replace her with one of your own and then do a new bill with the things she trashed.
I want one thing and one thing only from Washington D.C. Drastically cut spending! That is it. I want nothing else from the drunken sailors in D.C.
This is absolutely what she is preventing. Anything that makes a cut is forbiddin unless you have 60 votes. She gutted this bill its about worthless
Should have been smaller bills passed one at a time not this ONE BIG bill.
These politicians can’t be trusted.
Thune is a milksop coward, worthless poc!
RINO rat.
Actually I agree with him on this. A parliamentarian is suppose to be a safety net. The problem is she was put in place to make sure spending cuts could not happen without 60 votes thus, she represents both parties because the dems also need 60 to cut anything the repubs put in place.
Thune has to go.
Why is there a Senate Parliamentarian?
It was a clever ploy to ensure the big bills both dems and repubs passed that spent money on X Y Z would be hard to curtail. Hey republicans spend like drunken sailors too and they dont want any project in their back yard stopped either.
The Senate is corrupt beyond repair. It is long past time to repeal the 17th Amendment and go back to our state legislatures electing Senators. This would make local elections much more important.
However, even that won’t fix the problem of the apathy that infects much of the populace, and a perverse morality in our elected representatives.
The problem is she is being partisan and should be overruled.
What is the role of the Senate Parliamentarian, and what are her justifications for gutting the parts of the BBB she is gutting? What is Thune’s excuse for listening to her? She’s not elected.
In fact she was picked by an evil democRAT.
It’s time to run her through the STAR Chamber!
Google it…
Senate Parliamentarian = British Crown
I must have missed the clause in the Constitution that requires a Senate parliamentarian. You know what I think? I think this is a way for the feckless Rs and Ds to be able to blame someone else for their legislative cowardice.
*Quasi elitist GLOBALIST establishment still thinks they are going to be running things in the USA. Stubborn grandstanders, and usually horrible on the golf course.
President Trump needs to pull those treacherous Senators in his office and tell them either put those provisions back in the BBB, or I go to the American people on national TV and give comprehensive speech and lesson on what this treacherous Parliamentarian is, and name names of coward Senators who are ignoring why you voted for them. Spill all the dirt on them too. Just do it. I doubt most know about that little unelected democrat individual sitting in the Senate basement making these decisions for her overlord Schumer. Damn infuriating. Or President Trump? Just don’t sign it until they comply. Keep them there until next 4th of July 2026!!

They got rid of the no tax on social security in the amended bill. WFT? Complete BS. Put it back now!!!!
It’s not a swamp – it’s a sewer. And it’s full of Schiff and other odiferous creatures that do nothing but stink up the place.
Way back in 1913 they ratified the 16th Amendment which allowed the Federal income tax. Big mistake. That’s why we have the monstrous Federal government we have today. Cut off the flow of money from the taxpayers and it shrivels back to the bare minimum it needs to be, as our Founders envisioned it.
Give Thune a choice, either fire her or get fired yourself. Come on GOP, grow a pair before we run out of time!
I don’ t understand the part about causing problems or blowing up the senate
The Vice President is allowed to do it, but it may bother some people so he will not do it???
Can someone please explain that to me ? I really don t understand.
Why has our representative government compromised itself by placing so many non-elected swamp rats in positions of authority? Why should a “Senate Parliamentarian” have so much authority…or a RINO such as Thune have so much power over an administration headed by a conservative president.
When does the swamp draining begin. Somebody wake me when that happens.
