The Big, Beautiful Republican Shrug
Briefly

The article discusses the hypocrisy in American politics concerning the speed of legislative processes, highlighting how Republicans, who once criticized Democrats for rushing bills, have adopted similar tactics. After Democrats' healthcare overhaul in 2010, Republicans accused them of foul play, but now, under Trump, they have pushed significant legislation through Congress with little time for review. This behavior demonstrates a recurring pattern in both parties where haste often precedes thoroughness, and it showcases the political double standards that can characterize legislative action.
Democrats once faced accusations of rushing legislation, but now Republicans are engaging in similar tactics, moving quickly to pass Trump's significant bill.
House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed the recent bill is 'the most consequential legislation' ever passed, despite it being unveiled mere hours before the vote.
The GOP's quick passage of the bill illustrates a pattern of hypocrisy, reflecting how both parties often prioritize speed over thorough legislative processes.
Representative Thomas Massie criticized the timing of the bill's passage, pointing out that if something truly is beautiful, it shouldn't be done after midnight.
