He predicted that Senate and House Republicans would reach a deal on raising the cap on state and local tax deductions, a major sticking point, in the next 24 to 48 hours.

“I just had a very successful lunch meeting with the senators, I think that we are, hopefully, on track for a vote this Friday,” he said.

Bessent predicted the legislation would also pass the House quickly and make it to Trump’s desk by the July 4 deadline the president set for the bill.

Sigh, we're screwed anyway, may as well get some long overdue pro-2A stuff out of it before I take my dirt nap.....Maybe, unless it's cut out.

Yeah, it's sorta like the N/As trading land for beads back in the day but, well, here we are.

The more I see the sausage being made the more I realize that there are are tangible consequences for electing people to run your country who won’t be alive in 10 years.

Mike Lee's proposal to sell off public lands is getting a lot of pushback from the right-leaning who see it as nothing more than a money/land grab.

Republican plan to sell millions of acres of federal lands found to violate Senate rules

A plan to sell more than 2 million acres of federal lands has been ruled out of Republicans’ big tax and spending cut bill.

People love America’s public land, including GOP leaders and constituents who live near them. Country folk aren’t aligned with the wealthy puppeteers of the GOP on this. I’d be surprised if that stays in.

What about taxes on tips and overtime?

Because both parties said they would address that later as they promised 3,467 years ago, which means to STFU.

I highly doubt both parties will allow the overtime thingy to survive, but the tip thingy might make it.

That would be my guess.

So they’re going to rush a vote before anyone has a chance to read the bill.

Predictable.

Idiot, you have to pass the bill to know what is inside the bill.

Oh, they have read it alright.....That's the sad thing.

That and it's 300 pages less than Pelosi's Bill that you had to pass to see what was in it.

Republicans didn’t know what was in the house bill when it passed the house.

Why do you think they’re trying to hide it from Americans?

It directly quotes two Republicans. Clearly you didn’t even read it.

What's inside the House GOP's budget bill? Here's a look

House committees have labored on the legislation, which runs a whopping 1,116 pages and is titled the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a nod to President Donald Trump himself.

This is a response to a AZ member of ARFCOM.

Take it for what you will but I see the whole "housing for park employees" as something that could be (and is) done anyway.

Take my Shenandoah National Park.....They have provided rental housing for both full and part-time employees for as long as I can remember and the rubbing point was that local realtors were pissed that they were cut out of that market as it was handled by the NPS.

My take is that they want to sell the land to their realtor/developer donors.

Hey, maybe the NPS/BLM should not be in the housing business in the first place but it's worked well so far.

What is in the bill that conservatives dont like? I dont get it.

I have yet to find a definitive answer to this -
Does the bill remove suppressors, SBS and SBRs from the NFA, or does it just delete the $200 transfer tax?

Removed and no tax stamp....Buy over the counter unless you state bans them in the first place.

The only thing I'm unclear on is if you already have a tax stamp will the going out of state language go away too?

Righteous.

If they remove them from the NFA in toto, then I suppose the out of state thing no longer applies.
