Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

No, Sen. Murkowski, House Republicans were not going to save you from your biggest mistake voting for that bill.
No, Americans, Congress will not save us from a tyrannical regime that’s abandoned democracy, the rule of law & human decency.
It’s going to take mass protest & collective power.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

So, shitty day!
I’m pissed, but mostly I’m just sad for the millions of people who will suffer because of what Republicans did today.
Many, if not most, are Trump voters. And most probably have no idea what this law will actually mean for them.

Just for those who may be a little confused: Hakeem Jeffries protesting Trump’s brutal bill by delivering the longest House floor speech in U.S. history isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an alleged “assassination attempt” is performative.

As Shawn McCreesh and Tyler Pager report, House Republican holdouts were apparently swayed to support President Trump’s tax and spending bill by signed merch and photographs with the president.

The Republican Budget Bill Is an Economy Killer
This legislation promises to become a poster child of Congress working against the country’s interests and in stubborn opposition to economists’ advice.

Happy birthday, America. Your gift? A new police state.
With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.
🚨🚨 NEW: House passes sprawling domestic policy bill, sending it to Trump's desk
Final House vote is 218-214, with TWO Rs voting no (Massie & Fitzpatrick).
Senate passed it 51-50.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

At a time when inequalities of income and wealth in America are wider than they have been in more than 80 years, Trump's big ugly bill is utterly shameful.
It’s now up to us to make sure Republicans pay the price at the ballot box.

Republicans are not just gutting Medicaid.
They are gutting the whole f*cking marketplace.
If you're a 60 yr old couple & make 80k/year, insurance premiums are about to go up 400% and cost 26k more.
Millions and millions of people are about to no longer have access to healthcare.
