Contemplate this fact for a moment. Is it what you want?

"The more than $175 billion that Congress handed to the nation’s immigration enforcers when it passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is larger than the annual military budget of every country in the world except the United States and China."

Lies, damn lies, statistics and accounting trickery.
Senate Republicans are liars with a capital L.

Senate excludes trillions in debt to make Trump’s tax bill seem cheaper
Traditional estimates say that Trump’s tax package will add about $4 trillion to the national debt. Senate Republicans have slashed that number by changing the way Congress does its accounting.

Though declaring no cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security (for tax breaks to the wealthiest and the largest increase to the federal debt, ever), djt's big "beautiful" budget bill will do just that.

Pregnant people living in states with abortion bans are almost twice as likely to die during pregnancy or shortly after giving birth, according to a new Gender Equity Policy Institute report.

The report found the risk is even higher for Black women in those states.

They should reject this bill, but sadly, they won't.
A harmful bill in Texas would criminalize transporting youth younger than 18, or funding their transportation, out of state to access abortion without written parental consent.

Access to abortion is a human right. Texas lawmakers should reject this bill.
