H.R.1 = One Big Beautiful Bill
The Democrats keep trying to delay passage with various motions to commit it back to the Finance committee.
Am not sure how many of these motions will be endured.
Anyway, Democrats believe that there's not sufficient fraud such that the various programs that they promised to some people must continually get additional funding. Apparently the fraud must be exposed (in Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA and SNAP, etc) for funding to be changed. So I say may the frauds be exposed by names.
Edit: Thanks, u/MuckeyDuck for the related news sticky Post! Added it here as a comment.

That's only if we can put an end to their election cheating first. Blue dim states (such as the one I'm in) have lawsuits going on to try and thwart the elections EO. As my favorite president would say "Let's see what happens".
That information needs to come on out with the effect it has on the electoral stats and subsequent legislation. IMHO.
They think they are working, not playing games. But those who seek Truth see the games.
Yes, this!
I have not read it. I do not have time. I am curious to know the final version... good, or bad? I seem to recall a handful of items that were stripped and/or added, and everyone shouting "RINO!" , so are we happy about this BBB?
You have to pass it to find out what is in it. 🍺🍺
Them actually reading it has been SUPER awesome.
Yep. Like doing the job they're paid for, and knowing how a yay or nay vote Impacts their constituents! Then again, some are paid $$$$ to do as told, regardless of the outcome.
Thanks, Nancy
Kek!
I've seen people saying that it increased taxes on something (social security payments I think?) and removed the no tax on tips and overtime. Republican politicians really are the most useless fucks in existence.
Not true, the latest revision I can find ( Jun 28) has both under Title 7 Chapter 2.
Assuming you mean SS, there has been no changes because of the Byrd Rule, and in fact there currently stands a $6000 deduction for the next 4 years for those over 65.
Please do your research before making baseless assertions, it saves everyone time.
Well, I wouldn't mind being wrong, lol. I haven't had time to check for myself.
Remember they are all bought specially the ones who have dual citizenship with Isreal
FYI - A "Motion to Commit" is a parliamentary procedure used in the House of Representatives to send a bill or resolution to a committee for further consideration or amendment. This motion allows members to propose changes or to delay the final vote on the legislation.
Thanks for explanation, Fren. Looks like it's used in the Senate and House.
Does this need 51 or 60 to pass? The parliamentarian drama last week has me confused
Sorry, if your asking if the BBB requires simple majority, the answer is yes, 51 will do it.
If you mean do the amendments being offered require 51 or 60, the answer is amendments require 60.

What is a Motion to Waive the Budget Act?The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 sets rules for federal budgeting, including restrictions on amendments to budget resolutions or reconciliation bills. These restrictions, enforced through points of order, ensure amendments are germane (relevant to the budget) and don’t violate budgetary limits, like increasing the deficit beyond what the budget resolution allows.
If a senator proposes an amendment that violates these rules—for example, if it’s not germane or exceeds spending limits—another senator can raise a point of order to block it. To overcome this, a senator can move to waive the Budget Act, asking the Senate to set aside the specific rule for that amendment. This motion typically requires a three-fifths majority (60 votes if all 100 senators are present) to pass, as outlined in Section 904 of the Budget Act.
We want to win the Nah's here.
Klobuchar's motion. Vote passed 51 to 49. She said something something about causing states budgets harm. She said H.R. 1 violated a Federal Law, but I'm not sure how. Will have to go back to the recording to discern what and why this thing passed.
I think that vote is irrelevant because this type of motion requires a 60 vote threshold.
Klobuchar’s Motion to Waive a Point of Order:A post by @ByMonaSalama on June 30, 2025, at 12:11 EDT states: “Amendment # Motion to waive Sen. Klobuchar (D-MN) Amendment ‘point of order’ (prohibitions against certain types of legislation to be recommitted for further consideration) in OBBB bill regarding measure containing unfunded intergovernmental mandate/SNAP benefits.”
Interpretation: This indicates Klobuchar proposed an amendment to H.R. 1 addressing SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, likely aiming to protect or modify provisions related to food assistance. A point of order was raised against her amendment, possibly for violating the Byrd Rule (which requires reconciliation bill provisions to be budget-related) or for imposing an unfunded intergovernmental mandate (a cost on state/local governments without federal funding). Klobuchar’s motion was to waive this point of order, which would allow her amendment to proceed despite the objection. This aligns with your earlier question about a “motion to waive the Budget Act” (though here it’s likely a Byrd Rule or mandate issue), as such waivers require a 60-vote majority in the Senate.
Outcome: The post does not specify the vote result, and no other X posts or web sources confirm whether the motion passed or failed. Given the 60-vote threshold and the polarized 51-49 vote on the motion to proceed, it’s likely this motion faced challenges, as Democrats (47 senators) would need at least 13 Republican votes, which is rare for partisan amendments.
Wowee. Great informative comment. I actually got it. 👍
Bottom line is any of these amendments would require a 60 vote majority to succeed.

Quite an education following this stuff huh?
You can see under Procedures for Waiving Points of Order that this requires 60 votes majority. And that the three-fifths requirement is currently scheduled to expire September 30, 2025.
Yeppers.
They need 60 right?
For these motions yes. But for the Bill itself, I believe the answer is 51 votes.
Correction to previous comment regarding Cloture to end debate and force vote on HR1:
To end debate on H.R. 1 itself (e.g., to stop the vote-a-rama and limit further amendments), a cloture motion on the bill is required. For reconciliation bills, this cloture motion also requires only a simple majority (51 votes or 50 plus the Vice President) under Section 305(b)(2) of the Budget Act, not the standard 60-vote threshold for regular legislation.
Procedure to Cut Off Debate and Force a Final Vote:
To cut off debate and force a final vote on H.R. 1’s passage, the Senate follows these steps under reconciliation rules:File a Cloture Motion on the Bill:Senate Majority Leader John Thune (or another senator) can file a cloture motion to end debate on H.R. 1 during the vote-a-rama, where amendments are being considered.
This motion “ripens” after a waiting period (typically two days of Senate session), during which debate continues.
Cloture Vote:
The Senate votes on the cloture motion, requiring a simple majority (51 votes or 50 plus the Vice President). Given the 53-47 Republican majority and the 51-49 vote on the motion to proceed, Republicans can likely secure this, though holdouts like Sens. Tillis, Paul, or others could complicate it.
Post-Cloture Debate:
If cloture is invoked, debate is limited to 20 hours for reconciliation bills (not the 30 hours for regular bills), per Section 305(b)(2) of the Budget Act. This time is evenly divided between the majority and minority.
No new amendments can be introduced post-cloture unless agreed by unanimous consent, and pending amendments must be germane and comply with the Byrd Rule (which ensures provisions affect the budget). This effectively stops the tactic of endless amendments you mentioned earlier.
Final Passage Vote:
After the 20 hours of debate (or less if time is yielded back), the Senate votes on final passage of H.R. 1. As a reconciliation bill, passage requires only a simple majority (51 votes or 50 plus the Vice President).
The Senate’s version, if amended, must return to the House for approval, as both chambers must pass identical bills.
