What happened today that was different?

After all his remaining tariff threats went into effect at midnight last night, what happened today was not that the stock market tanked.

It did at the beginning of the day with the tariffs in place, but that's, again, normal for a day with Donald Trump at the wheel.

What was different today was not that the stock market tanked again, right?

It was that the bond market tanked again, right? It was that the bond market

tanked at the beginning of the day. 26 past the hour, beautiful shot of Capitol Hill this morning.

This morning House Republicans will hold a vote on a Senate-passed budget bill after GOP leaders

pulled the measure from consideration last night. It was a major setback for Speaker Mike Johnson, who was pushing Republicans to get on board with the bill

and advance President Trump's legislative agenda.

But several conservative fiscal hawks argued the Senate's budget blueprint would add too much to the nation's debt. It's unclear if

any of those holdouts have changed their mind. You know, Willie, the issue has obviously been for

quite some time, a $20 trillion addition to the United States debt, which is already sitting

at $36 trillion. Nothing fiscally conservative about that.

You have the Senate passing resolution and saying, well, let's just pretend that we aren't extending

these tax cuts, which are going to blow a hole, of course, and the deficit in the national

debt.

And some, I guess I'll say fiscal conservatives, i'm glad there are a few that still at least

call themselves that and the house republican caucus are saying uh we just can't do this without

additional cuts we'll see where it goes but right now uh i think some tough sailing uh for the speaker

simply because i mean how does I mean, how does any Republican,

how does anybody that calls themselves a fiscal conservative support a budget that is going,

and tax cuts that are going to lead to $20 trillion in new deficit and debt spending over the next 10 years.
