This bill has been on the Senate floor for days and Republicans still can’t unite to kick people off of their health care and raise costs for Americans.

We can fight this bill.

Ossoff: "If we allow Affordable Care Act benefits to expire, as this bill would, more than a million Georgians will pay more for health insurance next year. A family of 4 in Clayton County making $65k a year - that's a $2,600 increase...the AJC reports 300k Georgians would lose insurance altogether"

BREAKING: Senator Warnock calls Big Beautiful Bill “Socialism for the Rich”.

100% true!

Lots of Republicans are going to lose their seats over this budget - federal, state, and local.

It will not cost Trump anything, other than finally some House oversight his last 2 years maybe.

Which is how these things always go with Trump - others always pay for his sins.

In a world of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, be like Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them

Disabled kids like mine rely on Medicaid to survive; this bill cuts Medicaid.

I don't know how else to say that medically complex disabled children will die as a result of this bill.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social Exactly what did Zohran Mamdani say?

They do this cause they know the bill is terrible for their states & districts. So they post a tweet opposing it, then fold right after. That way, come election time, they can claim they “fought it.”

99% of the time, that fight was complete BS.

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.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court.

This is not deportation.

This is ethnic cleansing.

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million.

If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.

Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred.

In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Hypocrite. She led the charge against Senator Al Franken for a photo that, yes, was insulting. But the Senator was not a sexual abuser. Gillibrand is only beholden to her corporate donors, and only interested in advancing her own career.

Fox News is attempting to paint Mamdani as a radical because he wants to provide “baby baskets to newborns.” Are they aware that the Republican reconciliation bill would give every newborn a “Trump account” with $1000?

Scanlon: They're flat out lying when they say they're just kicking undocumented immigrants off Medicaid because those folks were never eligible for Medicaid in the first place. The truth is Republicans know that kicking millions of Americans off of health insurance is unpopular.

‘People are going to die’: how Medicaid work requirements cost people their health insurance Those caring for relatives with severe disabilities say planned Republican cuts will be fatal for some

Senate Republicans claim they're going after waste in Medicaid, but all they’re doing is adding bureaucratic red tape to kick millions of eligible recipients off their health care — to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

Make no mistake: if they succeed in gutting Medicaid, people will die.

Cuomo is a mini-Trump – it's always been obvious to anyone paying attention | Arwa Mahdawi Cuomo and Trump have the same appetites for authoritarianism, disdain for their detractors and egos that stand in the way of effective governing

"Cuomo’s ego arguably caused a deadly delay:according to an analysis by Columbia University, if NY had decided to lock down on 8 March (instead of 20 March), the NY metropolitan area would have had at least 209,987 fewer cases & 17,514 fewer deaths" #DontRankCuomo www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger
