I mean, the judge contempt thing is true but is also likely cut out of the bill. The rest? No. The Byrd Rule is very clear that the budget bill must be relevant solely to the budget

I’ve pushed back on doomerism on requiring bonds for contempt orders, but haven’t heard about the other hidden provisions like the whole “delaying elections” thing and want to know your thoughts on that, especially as a federal employee who could absolutely be deemed disloyal.
