Mike Johnson is an incomplete grade right now. He kept his gavel. But he needlessly antagonized Massie, did all sorts of accounting tricks to get the OBBBA over the line. Crushed regular order after promising it. Kept the House out of session for record time. But at what cost?

OBBBA Cheat Sheet: Exclusions and Exceptions
The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act (OBBBA) and the June 2026 Interim Final Rule (IFR) on work requirements introduced several easily confused terms describing which Medicaid applicants and enrollees are and are not subject to the new Medicaid work requirements. Learn more about the distinctions between an exclusion and an exception under OBBBA's Medicaid work requirements.

*Wait*, why isn't the House enough? Two huge traps. First: Republicans already pre-funded ICE & CBP with a *$240B* mandatory slush fund through 2029 (OBBBA + Secure America Act) so a Dem House alone can't defund raids via annual budgets! Second: only the Senate confirms judges and Cabinet picks.

First, if the GOP keeps House + Senate: they already passed OBBBA (cutting $187B from SNAP, imposing Jan 1, 2027 Medicaid work rules) and June's Secure America Act. Now House Republicans queued up a $95B "Reconciliation 3.0" cut blueprint, and RSC wants to gut Medicaid expansion match rates next.

More drastic cuts to health care will take effect in the new year. THIS IS BY DESIGN to escape wrath in the midterm elections.

“We’re trained to do preventive care and help people navigate their illnesses. We’re not trained to decide whether someone is able to work,” Eva Shapiro, a physician in Tucson, AZ #Medicaid #WorkRequirement #HR1 #OBBBA #healthpolicy
After the Trump admin's big loss in court yesterday, states can now exempt everyone with certain illnesses/disabilities from Medicaid work requirements that go live nationally in January. The judge struck down a rule that would have forced many to get a doctor's note to prove they couldn't work.
'Contrary to law': Judge strikes down Trump admin's definition of 'medically frail' in Medicaid work requirements
The guidance released in June "is beyond the powers of CMS and thus contrary to law," the federal judge in Boston said.

Can't know exactly how much $ Apple got from the new OBBBA provision allowing immediate expensing of R&D last year, but the relevant deferred tax asset went down by $1.4 billion so that seems like a reasonable guess. JCT estimates nationwide R&D expensing costs $35 billion in FY26.
