Did you know 1.4 million illegal aliens are stealing from Medicaid?

Senator Marsha Blackburn had introduced an amendment to Trump's "big beautiful bill" to kick illegals off of Medicaid. Seems common sense to us.

But this common-sense legislation was shot down for some reason by this lady here:

Elizabeth MacDonough is the Parliamentarian of the U.S. Senate, appointed by Democrat Harry Reid. Apparently, she changed the rules to require 60 votes for this measure to pass, when it could've easily passed with 51.

MacDonough has been cutting out key sections of Trump's bill for weeks.

Trump has urged the GOP to overrule her or appoint a new parliamentarian. He posted on Truth Social:

Great Congressman Greg Steube is 100% correct. An unelected Senate Staffer (Parliamentarian), should not be allowed to hurt the Republicans Bill. Wants many fantastic things out. NO!

Alabama Senator Tuberville echoed the President's sentiments:

President Trump's landslide victory was a MANDATE from 77 million Americans. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers on that mandate. The Parliamentarian is trying to UNDERMINE the President's mandate and should be fired.

Gotta love the unelected Swamp bureaucrats.
