Trump's “Big Uguly Tax Bill,” which benefits the filthy rich, passed the House by one vote, 215 to 214. Congressman Juan Ciscomani's vote put Republicans over the top. The legislation cuts tens of thousands of Ciscomani’s constituents from Medicaid and SNAP food stamp programs.
Ciscomani is a sly politician. He’s not telling his voters they are severed off the government health programs until 2027, when the massive cuts go into effect, well after his 2026 midterm reelection. This is a politically expedient move by Ciscomani, who will be standing for reelection in November 2026.
Of course, he doesn’t want voters to be mad at him on election day. Little do they know what will happen to the health care of tens of thousands of souls in his district in 2027. How proud Congressman Juan Ciscomani must be to have been the vote to make a difference for “King Trump's Big Fat for the Rich Tax Cut Bill” to pass in the House.
