Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day.
1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in.
Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.

Republicans are in the middle of trying to pass Trump's big bill, but it's not a done deal.
They know it's a bad bill, and we need to convince just four of them to stand with working families. If we can do that, we can stop this thing.

The Big Beautiful Bill is in its ugliest form yet.
- Adding $4 trillion to the deficit
- 17 million will lose health care
- 30% higher electricity costs
- Biggest ever cut in food assistance
- $1 trillion in billionaire tax cuts
We’re doing everything we can to block this.

It’s a shame that so many Republicans vote for something they know will hurt their constituents & the country simply because they are afraid that Trump will threaten them if they don’t go along with it, & they are more concerned about his vindictiveness than they are about them.

The Supreme Court has imperiled the health of millions, denying Medicaid patients access to their preferred provider.
But Justice Jackson’s dissent warns of a secondary blow in the court's decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, one that threatens a foundational civil rights law.
