#UglyDogs the bill is back to the House for a vote soon. If you have a Republican representative, call them. If not, consider the below effort to call Medicaid recipients in Republican districts to get THEM to call about the bill.

Trump’s massive budget bill will make ICE the largest jailer in the world, and “would take the targeting of activists for their speech, masked agents grabbing people off the street, sudden flights to Guantánamo or out of the country, ramping up detentions—and crank it to 11.”
I wrote about the day the president attended the opening of an American concentration camp:
The Grand Opening of an American Concentration Camp
The Republicans are proudly calling it “Alligator Alcatraz.” Let’s call it what it is.

As of right now, House Republicans don’t have enough votes to pass Trump’s Tax Scam that would gut Medicaid to give billionaires more tax cuts.

Democracies use government as an instrument for the common good. Using a tax bill to destroy and deny health care for 17 million of our people is a sign of authoritarianism.

Every cut that the government makes to social services is effectively a tax on women. Because they're the ones who will be expected to fill in the gaps.
BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.
No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

Now, he’s repaying the states that voted for him by increasing their health care costs with his Big Beautiful Betrayal.

This bill is a Big Beautiful Betrayal of the middle class. It adds trillions in debt, raises interest rates, threatens rural hospitals, and puts health care out of reach for millions.
Americans know it’s a bad bill, because it is. We must stand against it.

“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.

Ingredients that grow abroad are getting more expensive—a Feastables bar has sugar (hit by a 10% tariff), chocolate (6-15%), cocoa butter (21%), & vanilla (41%)—and those tariffs also hit coffee, fish, etc
