America is at war with a reality TV star as President, his golf buddy and dilettante son-in-law as chief negotiators, and a weekend cable host running the Pentagon
What could possibly go wrong?
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.
“Well, that’s what they voted for.“
“They should’ve known better.”
Sure, maybe. But the brunt of the pain will be felt by babies, kids, the elderly, the sick, the disabled, the poor, people who are barely making it, people who fled danger to save their children.
They don’t deserve this cruelty. No one does. Especially not in the richest country on Earth, where people with the most power just used it to make themselves even richer.
Donald Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since January, but Republicans cared more about making him happy than they did about the people who sent them to Washington to make their lives better.
It should enrage all of us, but it should also motivate us to beat the everliving hell out of every last Republican politician in ‘26 and again ‘28.
🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s Big Bullshit Bill just PASSED.
Mass deportations. Brutal Medicaid cuts. A tax slash for billionaires so steep it could ski.

Call the mom of a kid with disabilities who won't be able to pay for a new wheelchair.
Call just one person whose life you're going to tear apart.
Alligator Alcatraz was built in 8 days
It took just over a week to create a massive concentration camp
Remember this the next time those in power claim they can't house the homeless, feed the starving or provide medical care to the poor
They can, they don't want to
Here are 10 ways that Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will make your life more expensive:
1. Your utility bills go up as we lose clean energy investments and electricity costs more;
2. Your rent goes up as predatory housing companies artificially jack up prices;

Holding back tears: “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make this country great, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech, for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on social security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for the truth, for democracy, for decency, for everyone who voted again him, and guess what—it was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too, you just don’t realize it yet” @jimmykimmel@JimmyKimmelLive
