GOP's version of 'Custer’s last stand' rewarded with tongue-lashing from WSJ editors

House Republicans got a tongue-lashing from the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board on Friday, after the spectacular failure to advance President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" on tax cuts, energy deregulation, and border security.

The Budget Committee, a crucial step for the bill, failed to recommend it, with a handful of GOP hardliners frustrated over the bill not having further spending cuts joining every Democrat to block the measure. And, the board wrote, they agree with those hardliners.
