The CBO estimates that Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which is stuffed with tax cuts skewed to the wealthy, will explode the deficit by $2.4T and kick 10.9M people off their health insurance.
This has always been the GOP strategy: socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

The Medicaid cuts proposed by the GOP are awful on their own.
But they could also reduce economic activity — resulting in a loss of 850,000 jobs across the country in both the healthcare industry and beyond.

Rinse and Repeat!
This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact:
Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people.
It's Robin Hood in reverse.

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked:
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

"Either everyone has due process — or no one does."
If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear U.S. residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?

Amen!
While planning to gut Medicaid and SNAP to pay for more tax cuts for the rich, Republicans are pushing to give the Pentagon an additional $150 billion in funding.
Trump has already promised a record $1 trillion military budget.
Their priorities couldn’t be more clear.

On Meet the Press they were discussing whether Oligarchy is the wrong term to use for purposes of messaging. What say you Mr. Reich? Do Americans fully understand the implications of what that term means? And while the left is wasting time on messaging, the right continues to erode our democracy.

If you don't speak out against this injustice you are complicit. Speak before it's too late!
By defying the Supreme Court’s order to return Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, Trump is laying the groundwork to do the same to U.S. citizens.
Now is the time to speak out — before there is no one left to speak.
We are on a path towards dictatorship.
