Rand Paul Doubles Down on Big, Beautiful Bill Criticism After Trump Slam
- Senator Rand Paul and Elon Musk publicly criticized President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' after its narrow House passage on May 22, 2025.
- The bill, intended to increase the national borrowing limit by several trillion dollars, is met with resistance due to its substantial spending growth and concerns about exacerbating the federal debt.

- Trump responded with harsh criticism of Paul, accusing him of lacking understanding and warning a NO vote would cause a first-ever U.S. Debt default and tax increases.
