Largest legal wealth transfer in US history.
Largest debt ceiling increase in U.S. history
11.8 million will lose health insurance
It’s still adding $3.3 trillion to the debt.

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.

The ICE budget jumping from $3B to $45B should be the loudest alarm from this bill. The silence from electeds on the mass criminalization of immigrants is LOUD. Medicaid cuts are devastating, yes, but don’t ignore the cruelty being supercharged at our borders and on our streets!!!

Interesting how Florida has the highest rent inflation in the country because it won’t create affordable housing. And yet if it wants to put a roof over people ICE kidnaps, they can build it in a week. 🤔

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Couple this with Trump’s remarks in the same press conference about denaturalizing Mamdani over political views and creating a system of detention centers.

Trump is envisioning concentration camps across the country holding Americans stripped of citizenship as “foreigners” subject to disappearance.
Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s bullshit of a bill—and it’s even uglier than before.

— At least 16 million could lose healthcare
— Trillions will be added to the deficit
— Hospitals will close
— Children will go hungry

Now it comes back to the House.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

If every one of the 340 million people in America paid a new $35 copay to visit the doctor, that still wouldn’t be enough to cover how much Meta would get from just one tax break in Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission.

They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again.

And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotline—a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people.

When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over care—every time.

But this is the party of “family values,” right?
Trump administration to shut down LGBTQ youth suicide hotline
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will no longer utilize its LGBTQ youth service line starting July 17. The Trump administration says the move will "focus on serving all help seekers."

Donald Trump just approved the largest meat company in the world to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange—completely ignoring its history of corruption and bribery.

Why? Maybe because they donated $5M to his inauguration.

I'm pressing for answers.

Republicans snuck an amendment into this bill to ban Affordable Care Act insurance plans from covering abortion care.

This is part of their play for a national abortion ban, in the middle of the night, and ripping healthcare away from millions.

At the center of the sweeping bill is trillions in tax cuts, which Republicans aim to partially offset through changes to safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP.

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit.

House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent.

They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.
