Republican Senator Rand Paul blasted his fellow conservatives for refusing to stand up to President Trump and his disastrous budget plan in an interview on Fox News Sunday.

Senator Rand Paul surprised everyone by speaking out against his fellow conservatives for bowing to President Donald Trump and his disastrous budget plan, becoming the most prominent Republican to criticize the "Big Beautiful Bill."

The bill in its present form seeks to extend key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) while introducing dozens of new measures. Now headed to the Senate under the budget reconciliation process, the bill aims to make permanent several tax breaks originally set to expire, including provisions eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay.


In addition to tax policy changes, the bill proposes significant reforms to federal safety net programs such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Preliminary estimates suggest that these changes could lead to a reduction in spending totaling hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade.

The package also contains a provision that could significantly limit judicial oversight and accountability. Tucked quietly into the broader bill, the measure would curtail judges' authority to hold individuals in contempt of court for defying court orders—a move legal experts warn could weaken the judiciary’s ability to enforce the rule of law.

The provision has drawn sharp criticism from legal scholars and opposition lawmakers, who argue that it appears designed to shield political figures, including the president, from potential legal consequences.

In his remarks to Fox News, Paul made clear that more conservatives should address very real concerns with the legislation:

“Somebody has to stand up and yell, ‘the emperor has no clothes.’ Everybody is falling in lockstep on this – ‘pass the Big Beautiful Bill, don’t question anything.'"
“Well, conservatives do need to stand up and have their voice heard. This is a problem we’ve been facing for decades now, and if we don’t stand up on it, I really fear the direction the country is going.”

You can hear what he said in the video below.

He was right—but many were taken aback by the fact that they were agreeing with his assessment in the first place.

We just might be in the Twilight Zone.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
