Is Trump's 'Big, Beautiful' Tax Bill Doomed? Even Wonder Woman Is Confused!

Ares Would Be Proud: Chaos on Capitol Hill

Greetings mortals! Wonder Woman here reporting live from a political battlefield more chaotic than Ares's worst nightmare. It seems President Trump's "big beautiful" tax bill is causing quite the ruckus in the House. Republican leaders are locked in a struggle with their own hardline conservatives and honestly even I'm finding it hard to keep up! Sixteen hours in the Rules Committee? That's longer than it takes me to fly from Themyscira to Washington! They're squabbling like a pack of Circe's transformed animals. Honestly sometimes I think humanity is its own worst enemy.

Deadline Doom: Is Memorial Day a Mission Impossible?

Speaker Mike Johnson set a Memorial Day deadline but right now it looks about as likely as Batman cracking a smile. House Freedom Caucus chair Andy Harris says the "runway is short." Short? It's practically nonexistent! It reminds me of the time I had to defuse a bomb with only seconds to spare. Except this bomb is made of tax codes and political egos. As I've often said 'If you surrender to your fears you won't be able to do anything.' But these Republicans seem to be surrendering to each other!

Trump's SOS Call: A White House Huddle

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Trump summoned Harris and Rep. Chip Roy to the White House for a little "come to Zeus" meeting. The goal? Unify the conference. Seems like a Herculean task even for me. Apparently the man is determined to force this bill through faster than I can say 'Suffering Sappho!' But as my mother Queen Hippolyta always warned me 'Beware the gifts of men bearing grudges.' I suspect there are plenty of those on Capitol Hill right now.

Market Mayhem: Economic Earthquake!

While politicians bicker the markets are doing the cha cha. Concerns are mounting that Trump's spending bill will lead to exploding deficits and a fiscal train wreck. The yield on the 30 year Treasury bond hit 5.09%. That's not just a number; it's a financial cry for help! It seems even the stock market is saying 'Enough is enough!' I long for the simple days of battling Cheetah when the only thing at risk was my tiara.

Medicaid Madness: A Stark Warning

Trump paid a visit to the U.S. Capitol and reportedly issued a stern warning: don't "f around with Medicaid." Well isn't that charming? Some Republicans want cuts to the Medicaid program which primarily covers low income folks. Now even I know that's not right. As I always say 'Fighting doesn't make you a hero.' But fighting for the vulnerable? Now that's a battle worth waging. I can't believe he used such crass language. Language matters people!

The Rich Get Richer? A CBO Revelation

And the plot thickens! A new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office reveals that this tax bill might just widen the gap between the rich and the poor. According to CBO's analysis the resources would decrease for households in the lowest decile of the income distribution whereas resources would increase for households in the highest decile. That's as backwards as wearing my Invisible Jet inside out. I stand for truth justice and the American way—which last I checked doesn't include robbing from the poor to give to the rich. Honestly this is a mess!
