House Republicans Left Furious Over Mega Bill
Washington, D.C. — A major conservative revolt is underway as House Republicans—both moderates and MAGA-aligned conservatives—are rejecting the Senate’s massive spending package, warning it strays far from President Trump’s America First agenda and the GOP’s promises of fiscal responsibility.
💬 “It’s political suicide,” warns Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ). “Hospitals will close. The deficit will explode. What are we doing?”
Just days ahead of a self-imposed July 4 deadline, the Senate pushed forward a bill that many House Republicans say is bloated, reckless, and packed with leftover Biden-era priorities.
Senators began the week with a marathon vote-a-rama session, tweaking amendments—yet nothing is calming the storm on Capitol Hill. Behind the scenes, House lawmakers are furious.
“It went from bad to worse,” said one moderate Republican. “Everyone’s texting each other: ‘What the hell happened?’”
What Conservatives Are Outraged About:
- $651 BILLION in New Deficit Spending — not including interest
- Weak rollbacks on Green Energy Subsidies
- Medicaid changes that hurt hospitals in red states
- New taxes on solar/wind if made with Chinese components
At least six GOP moderates are already planning to vote “no” unless drastic changes are made. Others are privately calling the bill a disaster in the making.
Reps. David Valadao (CA), Young Kim (CA), Jeff Van Drew (NJ), and Nick LaLota (NY) have all signaled strong opposition.
“This will devastate hospitals,” said Van Drew. “You’ll see more ER visits, fewer services, and hardworking Americans caught in the chaos.”
Freedom Caucus: “This Is Not What We Agreed To”
The House Freedom Caucus, a powerful voice for grassroots conservatives and Trump loyalists, dropped a fiery warning:
🛑 “No new deficit spending was the deal. The Senate added $651 billion. This isn’t conservative. This is betrayal.”

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) echoed the frustration, saying he won’t vote for the bill simply to meet an arbitrary holiday deadline:
“I support President Trump’s mission. I want border funding. But I can’t rubber-stamp a bill that doesn’t add up,” Roy told The Dana Show.
Key Amendment Could Sink the Bill for Good
Many conservatives are rallying behind an amendment from Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) that would block Medicaid expansion dollars from going to able-bodied adults without children. That move alone could save taxpayers $313 billion.
Although it may not pass, some House Republicans are secretly hoping it does, making the entire bill dead on arrival in the lower chamber.
“If that amendment passes, it’s the final nail in the coffin,” one lawmaker said bluntly.
What’s Next? House GOP Faces a Deadline
The Senate will hold its final vote Tuesday morning. If it passes, the House Rules Committee could take it up by noon, with a potential floor vote Wednesday morning.
But many Republicans say it’s time to slow down and get it right.
“We need to fix the numbers, fix the tax policy, and stop the madness,” said Rep. Roy. “Rushing this through is not leadership—it’s failure.”
