Reminder: Immigrants are good for the economy and our society. Countless industries, including our food supply, are made up of immigrant workers who are overworked & underpaid.
And 64% of Medicaid recipients who can work are already working.

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

‼️ New news on the "One Big Beautiful Bill."
It will add $3.3 trillion to the national debt over 10 years, according to CBO.
This doesn't include debt service payments, which will add at least another half trillion.
For context, the House bill *with* interest payments was $3.3 trillion.

I read Trump + Senate Republicans' "One Big Beautiful Bill" so you don't have to.
It came out at *midnight* & we're still getting numbers in from Congress's bookkeepers.
Early returns:
Nearly $1 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts.
Happy Saturday. Follow for more.
