(Substack)—President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” may face a House-wide vote as early as Wednesday night, following its approval by a key committee.
The House Rules Committee, which controls most legislation before it reaches the full chamber, convened at 1 a.m. Wednesday to push the expansive bill forward, aligning with Speaker Mike Johnson’s Memorial Day deadline for Senate submission.
The session extended for hours as Democrats accused Republicans of advancing the bill “in the dead of night” and favoring the wealthy at the expense of working-class families.
Democrats prolonged the process with numerous amendments, spanning from early Tuesday into Wednesday.
Republicans countered that the bill supports small businesses, farmers, and low- and middle-income families while curbing waste, fraud, and abuse in government safety nets.
Highlighting the meeting’s importance, Johnson, R-La., met with committee Republicans just before 1 a.m. and again after sunrise.
The committee began with unresolved issues, including blue state Republicans advocating for higher state and local tax (SALT) deduction caps, and conservatives pushing for stricter Medicaid work requirements and a complete repeal of green energy subsidies from former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Johnson told Fox News Digital during his initial visit that he was “very close” to reconciling divided House GOP factions.
After the meeting, Johnson indicated the House would proceed with a vote late Wednesday or early Thursday.
However, the bill’s success in the House Rules Committee does not guarantee passage in a full House vote.
Two House Rules Committee members, Reps. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., and Chip Roy, R-Texas, both from the conservative House Freedom Caucus, urged a delay in the House-wide vote on Wednesday.
The White House, meanwhile, pressed these dissenters, demanding a vote “immediately” in an official policy statement endorsing the House GOP bill.
Republicans aim to enact Trump’s policies on tax, immigration, energy, defense, and the national debt through a single, comprehensive bill using the budget reconciliation process.
Budget reconciliation reduces the Senate’s passage threshold from 60 votes to 51, enabling the majority party to bypass the minority—here, Democrats—to pass major legislation related to the federal budget, taxation, or national debt.
House Republicans seek to move Trump’s bill through both the House and Senate by the Fourth of July.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
