The Big Beautiful Bill is less so “tax legislation” and really more “theft with paperwork.”

Well said, David. This has got to be the absolute worst piece of legislation ever to get voted on. See my earlier repost today of the actual costs and savings. It's appalling, but maybe it'll finally wake up MAGATs on the dole and on Medicaid that they've been bamboozled.

They'll wake up to find their votes moot, too, if this passes.

They want you fighting over parties so you never ask who bought them. They’re not losing sleep over your rent, your debt, or your kid’s future. It’s 92% vs the political investor class. We’re building a movement. Join it.

It would certainly be slightly easier to bear if this bill actually balanced the budget and started paying down the debt. You could at least pretend it's for a good reason. But this is straight up taking the food and health from the poor so the wealthy can get wealthier. The definition of evil.

Yeah, I can get behind this. Once the bums get kicked out of congress, the next decade must be spent creating laws that severely limit the powers of the Federal government.

Also the massive theft from and ddestruction of America ignores all the entrenchment of fascism and basically ending of elections and court enforcements at a whim.

Thats what you get voting a fellon and grifter into office. But "he is better for the economy" makes full sense as explanation for someone bancrupting several of his businesses.

It should be called the "screw the poor" bill and "give tax cuts to the rich, corporations, and big oil while taking away green energy incentives"...but that's a bit too long...

This will never be over until there is nothing left to destroy. Media covers the increase in deficit and cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in the “BBB,” but ignore the gutting of climate action, environmental protection and protection of endangered species while simultaneously turning us into a police state

Yes, but let's not forget it's also a grab for more power. As if Trump doesn't have enough already.

Everyone needs to stop calling it the ‘big beautiful bill’ and refer to it as the horror story that it is.

Just like usual with Donald the press just runs with whatever he says something is. It's very very tiring at this point.

Green energy is cheaper. Consumer lose in 3 ways by abandoning this options: 1) fossil fuels are mothballed; 2) wind and solar will require mothballing; 3) per unit electricity by fossil fuels is now more expensive.

You have got to see this presentation by Senator Whitehouse on how your electric bill will go up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cXa... Global warming and AI will raise your electric bill by >30%. Screw you, Chuck Koch!

I suppose, as long as Republican lawmakers keep their cushy lawmaker jobs, there is zero incentive for them to bother resisting anything Trump proposes. They will be fine (as long as Trump doesn't take away their health care plan or pension 🫢)
