Triggered: MLG has full-blown meltdown over Trump’s ‘Beautiful’ budget bill

Far-left Democrat Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham erupted in outrage Tuesday following final passage of President Donald J. Trump’s sweeping federal budget overhaul, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The legislation, which passed Congress with GOP majorities and is set to be signed by Trump on the Fourth of July, marks a dramatic reshaping of the federal budget, delivering major tax relief to working Americans and slashing bloated bureaucratic programs.

Lujan Grisham, who has built her administration on expanding state dependency programs and inflating New Mexico’s government spending, issued a scathing statement in which she declared the budget an “abomination,” claiming it was “a betrayal” and warning of supposed “threats” to New Mexicans.

“The Republican budget bill is an abomination that abandons working families and threatens the health and well-being of New Mexicans,” she claimed, despite the bill’s focus on reducing the federal tax burden and prioritizing local control. Lujan Grisham went on to accuse Republicans of “slashing funding for health care and child nutrition to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-rich,” echoing stale class warfare rhetoric.

But the governor’s fiery tirade seemed less about facts and more about partisan fury. In what some critics have called a “meltdown,” Lujan Grisham floated the idea of calling a state special session—not to address state needs, but seemingly to air her grievances with a federal bill she has no authority over.

“Make no mistake,” she fumed, “this Republican budget will hit New Mexico hard.” She then ticked off a series of apocalyptic predictions—from cuts to Medicaid and education to tax hikes on electricity—despite no such measures being confirmed in the final budget text.

The bill, which all of New Mexico’s three representatives and two senators in Congress voted against, including an expansion of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) to compensate the plight of the Downwinders in New Mexico. Despite that, the entirely Democrat delegation (due to partisan gerrymandering) voted against it. 

Lujan Grisham blamed Trump and Congressional Republicans for the legislation, blasting what she called a lack of “hearings, debate and transparency”—even though the bill went through regular order in both chambers and was widely praised for simplifying the tax code and eliminating waste. Just in its last hurdle, the bill suffered 12 grueling hours of Democrat grandstanding in a House committee and hours of bloviating from Democrat Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York on the House floor before final passage. 

The governor vowed to “fight like hell” to stop what she described as a “fiscal assault,” suggesting her administration would comb through the bill looking for ways to push back.

Political observers say her reaction underscores the growing frustration among Democrat leaders as Trump racks up legislative wins during his second term. With the economy rebounding, inflation stabilizing, and Trump’s approval surging, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is being hailed by Americans as a turning point — or a “Golden Age” of American greatness.

In contrast, Lujan Grisham’s dramatic response is being mocked by critics as political theater. “She’s triggered because Trump delivered what Democrats never could: prosperity through freedom, not handouts,” said one GOP strategist.

As Trump prepares to sign the bill on Independence Day, it’s clear who’s celebrating—and who’s seething.
