Rand Paul jumps the shark...

There’s a point in every politician’s career where the brand overtakes the brain. For Rand Paul, that moment may have arrived in mid-air, right as he flew over the shark-infested waters of political irrelevance.

Like so many libertarian purists before him, Paul has wandered too far out. He’s no longer swimming with the current; he’s grandstanding on a water ski of smugness, waving his principled flag no one asked for. And it all came to a head when he went on national TV and said, after a foreign flag-waving mob attacked ICE officers in Los Angeles,“We should cut the immigration enforcement funding in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill in half.”

Rand is jumping the shark.

The most serious border security legislation in a generation, and Paul’s hot take is to slash it. All because he’s got a bad case of what we’ll call Libertarian Derangement Syndrome, a close cousin of TDS, but with more self-righteous monologues and very limited political wins.

To be clear, Rand Paul is not a dumb man. But he’s become a caricature of the hyper-emotional ideological libertarian who cares more about virtue signaling and sounding principled than taking a risk and doing something useful. And like all people afflicted with LDS, he’s becoming more worried about optics than outcomes.

But here’s the moment where the mask comes completely off: Paul only seems to care about reckless spending when it gives him an excuse to grandstand. When it’s time to cut real waste or rein in agencies that are actively undermining Americans, there’s awkward silence. Take a look at his own FEC filings: $50,000 blown on luxury hotels, fine dining, and private travel services during a European fundraiser tour.

Look:

You can’t scream about fiscal responsibility while sipping champagne at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm on the donor dime. That’s not principle.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill isn’t perfect, but it’s the start. It’s bold, structurally smart legislation conservatives have begged for.

To put it plainly, the BBB is the legislative embodiment of the MAGA agenda. It fuses tax cuts, welfare reform, and a real-deal immigration crackdown into one unapologetic package.

This isn’t some bloated omnibus loaded with pork and betrayal. It’s a battle plan, and it’s aimed straight at the bureaucratic machine that’s been looting America for decades.

And nobody explains it better than Stephen Miller, who’s been making the rounds with surgical precision. According to Miller, this bill delivers both front-end relief, lower taxes, tighter welfare, serious border control, and back-end guardrails to ensure the executive branch can actually execute without sabotage from the same Beltway paper-pushers who slow-walk every conservative win.

To put it simply, the BBB is the legislative embodiment of the MAGA agenda. It rolls tax cuts, welfare reform, and a full-throttle immigration crackdown into one unapologetic package. And leading the charge in explaining its power is Stephen Miller, who’s been making the rounds like a man on a mission, because he is. According to Miller, this bill isn’t just bold, it’s historic, and it’s the only way to truly save the country from the path we’re currently on.

In clip after clip, Miller dismantles the misinformation and lays out exactly why the BBB is a game-changer. He explains the bill’s “front-end” benefits, which are tax relief for working families, welfare accountability, and border enforcement that finally has really sharp teeth. But just as important is the back-end structure, which he says was carefully crafted to ensure Trump, not some rogue bureaucrat, controls its execution.

Some conservatives are upset at the deficit chatter. But Miller clarifies that most of that noise is coming from the CBO and libertarian purists who see tax cuts as a liability. He says the BBB slashes spending by over $1.6 trillion while delivering massive relief to working-class America.

Miller suggests this is not your average GOP compromise. This is MAGA, legislated.

He also says this is literally a “working-class” bill.

Some of the deficit scolds are just squawking, but Miller addressed that too: over $1.6 trillion in spending cuts.

Watch:

That’s not swampy rhetoric. It’s math. And unlike the libertarian fantasists, the BBB doesn’t live in virtue or theory; it’s built to begin the system changes we need and govern at a new level.
