In one of the most consequential and ideologically charged votes in modern legislative history, the House of Representatives passed Donald Trump’s sweeping economic agenda, officially titled the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” but widely dubbed by critics as the “Big Ugly Bill.” The final tally was 218 to 214, a razor-thin margin that did more than reveal partisan divide; it exposed the depths of fear, conformity, and authoritarian loyalty now defining the Republican Party.
Here is a quotation (translated) from the tragedy "Antigone" by the great ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles which applies to Donald Trump and to the Republicans:
"For with wisdom did someone once reveal the maxim, now famous,
that evil at one time or another seems good,
to him whose mind a god leads to ruin.
But for the briefest moment such a man fares free of destruction."
