Did y’all hear how it passed? Four House Republicans changed their votes to YES – after Trump gave them signed MAGA hats and selfies.
They got a signed merch and a photo op.
17 million people lost healthcare.
That’s the trade. That’s the Republican Party.

Remember when @schumer.senate.gov capitulated on the govt shutdown and said they would save their fight for now? The BBB just passed so there is no way to fight. The Dems won’t have an opportunity to stop anything from the GOP for a year

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Oops! Republicans in Congress keep accidentally telling the truth.
They can call it “reform.” They can keep trying to lie.
But every Republican in Congress wants to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
And every American should know it.

Swing voters are often characterized as “moderate,” even though every election shows us more and more that they’re really “change voters.” They’re not loyal to any ideology, they want something different, because the status quo isn’t working.

This is why I believe it’s best to run campaigns based on bold, transformational change. You draw swing voters AND inspire new voters to get involved. It’s both good policy and politics!
