[Mark Wayne Mullen]

We've all had time to negotiate what we want on the bill. And at the end of the day, your idea may be a great idea, but you have to deliver 51 votes. 49 doesn't get you there. 51 is the key number to pass.

[Darielle Albinger]

The former head of Doge posting on X that the latest version is, in his words, utterly insane. He says it's focused on the past, not the future. A Supreme Court ruling may have put the president's plan to end birthright citizenship step closer to reality.
