📢 THE "ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT" HAS PASSED CONGRESS. 📢

This monumental legislation, now headed for the President's signature, is set to reshape America, and its impacts are far-reaching – for better or for worse.
What's IN the Bill (and what proponents are celebrating):
July 3, 2025 at 7:46 PM
Friends, throughout my career, I've always believed that our nation's strength comes from how we treat one another, how we manage our shared resources, and how we uphold the values we profess.

📢 Friends, Neighbors, Fellow Americans,

I want to talk about something important – H.R. 1, also known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." This legislation proposes sweeping changes, from our environment to our healthcare, and it asks us to consider who we are as a nation.

Good evening, America. Let's talk about fairness. Millions like Maria work tirelessly, yet one setback could mean poverty. We debate how to end poverty, but what if the resources are already there?

"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!" they say. But what kind of bootstraps are we giving people when a full-time job can't even pay the rent?

We say "America First" yet some argue against fair wages for American workers. Let's put our own citizens first by paying them enough to live with dignity.

The fear of a medical bill shouldn't define an American life.

For parents like me, whose child needs an EpiPen, the cost shouldn't be a constant terror.

Our current criminal justice system isn't just failing to make us safer; it's a massive drain on taxpayer dollars and often undermines the very principles of personal responsibility and earned redemption. It’s time for bold, conservative reform rooted in common sense and efficiency!

Reminder: The Army renamed bases that honored Confederate traitors and replaced them with REAL American heroes. The Navy honored a civil rights icon with the USNS Harvey Milk.

Now, some want to bring back the names of racists and strip away LGBTQ+ recognition.

They say they want to Make America Great Again....But what does that really mean? 🤔

It seems to mean…

• Loving the 1st Amendment for your own speech, but calling to silence news you don't like and boycott companies you disagree with. 🎤 vs 🤫

Forcing pregnancy isn’t pro-life when mothers don’t survive. The US maternal mortality crisis is failing women of all backgrounds.
The risk is highest for women of color:
• Black mothers: 2.6x more likely to die.
• Native American mothers: 2.1x more likely to die.

You can't be for "preserving history" only when it makes you feel good. True conservatism means preserving the whole story, even the ugly parts like Black Codes & convict leasing, which were slavery by another name. Sanitizing the past makes us blind to the present. #EducationReform

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre?

McMahon: I’d have to get back to you

Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is?

McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.
Tulsa announces reparations for the 1921 ‘Black Wall Street’ massacre
It took decades of research by historians and journalists — and reports by state and federal commissions — to uncover the violence that claimed more than 300 Black lives.

DOGE isn't just cutting vital government services.

Each federal job loss could also result in the loss of at least one additional worker in the private sector.

Working people having less money in their pockets to spend stifles local economies.

What’s “efficient” about that?

In all of this political atmosphere with World War III looming, do you know what I fear most? Global warming. Why? Because fungi adapt to their environment to survive and cordyceps is a ruthless MFer. #TheLastOfUs

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel. 

They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands.

Keep up the fight.

Musk has ramped up his visibility in politics and government, leading the new Department of Government Efficiency in what fans call efforts to curtail government fraud and critics call an unelected takeover and slash-and-burn. Meanwhile, his companies have struggled. cnn.it/3DGnsz5

Guess Who? (A Thread)

1. Promised job growth and availability.
2. Promised national revival and love back to the country.
3. Promised aggressive foreign policy.
4. Promised public works projects.
5. Refused to support left-wing socialists or those who were not loyal to him.

In the name of fighting "DEI," Trump's spending freeze brought us to the brink of disaster yesterday.

He's tapping into culture wars while his billionaire buddies loot the government and gut programs that help millions.

His "war on woke" is a war on the American people.
Clearly illegal
This isn’t about cutting the size of government. It’s about further concentrating power in Trump’s hands.

Good morning, beloved. It's been a while since I've posted. I do apologize. Unfortunately, as much as I am concerned about politics, some of the information has been overwhelming for me as well. I've been paying attention, but needed to step back from taking about it 24/7.

Hitler rose to power through a combination of political maneuvering and exploiting the weaknesses of the Weimar Republic.

The Trump administration is threatening a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico as soon as Saturday — a move that would almost immediately impact car dealerships and factories in the US.

The tariffs would add a minimum of thousands of dollars to the cost of cars, according to experts.
