The One Big Beautiful Bill stands alone as the 119th Congress’ most extraordinary piece of legislation — but it doesn’t have to.

Under the Senate’s rules, congressional Republicans can use the reconciliation process to pass two more big, beautiful bills with a simple majority vote.

And we would be fools to let this opportunity pass us by.

Here’s the reality: Most of my Democratic colleagues would rather bathe with their toasters than support any part of President Donald Trump’s agenda.

They can’t stand the president, and that’s their right — but this hyper-partisanship makes it nearly impossible to gather the 60 votes needed in the Senate to pass most legislation.

With the 1974 Budget Control Act’s reconciliation process, however, the Senate under certain circumstances can pass major legislation with just 51 votes.

That’s how we were able to issue the largest tax cut in American history, secure the border, expand school choice, address Medicaid fraud, eliminate taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security, and end federal payments for abortions, sex-change operations and outrageous climate scams........
