The current administration is calling its omnibus legislative monster the “Big Beautiful Bill,” which is the kind of branding you arrive at when nobody in the room has been told no in a decade. Reading the phrase out loud, the brain immediately autocompletes to a different Bill entirely, one whose actual policy record is being slowly rehabilitated by comparison every time the new guys open their mouths. That’s the joke. That’s the post. History grades on a curve and the curve is moving fast. Anyway: name a piece of legislation what it does, or accept that we’re going to do this to you.
