#Senate #Republicans almost certainly knew this when they stripped it from the bill. Leaving it in could lead to problems for passing the broader bill, which is #Trump’s signature domestic policy legislation ― a package that slashes nearly $1 trillion from #Medicaid & #FoodAssistance programs to pay for a massive #TaxCut for #rich people.

Among those orders? The 184 court rulings that have temporarily halted unlawful actions taken by the #Trump admin. And Trump has already been ignoring #CourtOrders from #judges to stop deporting #immigrants without… #DueProcess.
EVERY #House #Republican voted for this provision when they voted to pass the One #BigBeautifulBill Act. Even if [as some has claimed] they didn’t know it.
#law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #3CoEqualBranchesOfGovernment #AbuseOfPower #ExecutiveOverreach
The provision in the #House #GOP’s bill also would apply retroactively to all temporary restraining orders & preliminary injunctions, leaving courts with no real way of enforcing orders they’ve already handed down. [all while #Trump is facing a slew of TROs & PIs]

Translated, this provision would restrict the ability of any #court, including #SCOTUS, to enforce #compliance with its orders by holding people in #contempt. Contempt citations are an essential tool for the #courts; they allow #judges to threaten #fines, #sanctions or even #jail if people disobey their orders.

Late Thurs, Sen. #ChuckGrassley (R-Iowa), the chair of the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, released the panel’s proposed text for the #GOP’s so-called #BigBeautifulBill. The House passed its version of the bill last month, so now the Senate is making its changes. Each cmte is tasked with putting together language for its relevant section in the #legislation.

Well that’s something anyway
#Senate #Republicans quietly stripped the provision from the #House #GOP's "big, beautiful bill" that would have allowed #Trump to circumvent the #courts & essentially serve as a #king.

TELL YOUR SENATORS HELL NO!
The “Big Beautiful Bill,” already approved by the House, denies Medicare, Medicaid and food relief to millions, and strips the courts of their power. Tell your senators to vote NO on this ugly bill – call the U S Capitol Switchboard (202.224-3121). #BigBeautifulBill #Indivisible
"The Trump administration, like barbarians and terrorists, is capable of destroying but not building. It has turned on its head the Gospel imperative of caring for the most vulnerable, and cares only for the rich and powerful."
"It will add trillions of dollars to the federal debt, give tax breaks to the very wealthy and cut programs that help the middle class and the least advantaged. And it will enshrine in law the draconian cuts in federal programs instituted by Elon Musk as part of the Department of Government Efficiency."

"Trump’s big beautiful bill is a sadistic monstrosity. …
This bill is so cruelly regressive that it shocked even me. This bill is truly unprecedented in the extent to which it takes away from the have-nots and gives to the ultra-haves. It slashes Medicaid, taking health care away from millions. It slashes food stamps, ensuring that many will go hungry. At the same time it gives huge tax cuts to the wealthy."

#Trump’s #BigBill Would Let Him Expand His #LosAngeles #ImmigrationCrackdown ‘Everywhere’
“If it works out well in L.A., expect it everywhere,” a Trump official says of the admin’s plans for #militarized #ICERaids around the country
By Andrew Perez, Asawin Suebsaeng
June 12, 2025
"Donald Trump’s '#BigBeautifulBill' wouldn’t just force millions of #poor people off their #HealthInsurance and #FoodAssistance to help pay for more #TaxCuts for the rich.
"The Trump #TaxBill would steer tens of billions of dollars to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for #detention capacity, employee bonuses, and to hire new agents. It would supercharge ICE’s ability to conduct raids, and allow the administration to expand the campaign of terror it’s waging on immigrants in Los Angeles to blue cities around the country.
"ICE’s aggressive worksite raids and courthouse arrests throughout the Los Angeles area have, of course, inspired a wave of protests — giving the president an excuse to send the U.S. military to a Democratic city, something he’s long fantasized about, while inspiring demonstrations across the country.
" 'This bill would give Donald Trump the ability to do what he’s doing [in California] on a scale we really haven’t seen before,' says #DavidBier, the director of immigration studies at the #CatoInstitute, a libertarian think tank. 'He will be able to replicate this militarized approach to Los Angeles across maybe dozens of American cities.'
"For Trump and key officials, including immigration-crackdown policy architect #StephenMiller, this is exactly the point, with Los Angeles currently being used as an autocratic staging area. They want to replicate this militarized, ramped-up blitz of ICE raids, backed by the U.S. armed forces, in several other Democratic strongholds — particularly if larger-scale protests spread to other cities.
"As Rolling Stone previously reported, the president and his senior officials have already mapped out near-term plans for how to further ratchet up the already tense blitz of ICE operations, especially in the coming days in Los Angeles, where the federal agents are now being protected by Trump’s literal troop deployment to the city, against the wishes of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
"Sources familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone that senior Trump administration officials are closely monitoring the situation in L.A. as a test case for what they want to do soon in places such as #Chicago, #philadelphia #BostonMA, or the #WashingtonDC, area."

I'm going to be calling it the "big, bullshitty betrayal."
I like that Dems are calling it a betrayal but just cannot tolerate keeping the word "beautiful" in there.
Baloney, bunk, babble, braindead, balderdash, bummer...

We need to define terms -- otherwise we accidentally slip into "definitional gerrymandering." I give a few examples, but I wrote this because the problem is endemic: https://ofb.biz/sa1323
