2/ It was bad enough they cut all the tax incentives for wind and solar energy - they added a NEW TAX on these projects to make sure America never builds any new renewables. Remember, Trump promised the oil industry provisions like this in exchange for a $1B campaign donation.
How is this free market capitalism?
3/ The bill BANS state regulation of AI - a stone cold giveaway to the tech companies who want to addict our kids, pollute our politics, and kill our jobs with zero guardrails. Rumor is there's a new language coming, but it's still an effective ban. Just an outrage.
4/ A new tax break for coal companies! So the tax incentives for wind and solar are GONE, and the coal industry is getting NEW tax incentives. It's official policy now to to not just deny global warming exists - but to actively make it WORSE.
Incentivizing inefficient, outdated energy sources while China continues to dominate the renewable energy space. Brilliant!
Trump and Republicans: Make Smog Great Again! 😷 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
I grew up in Pittsburgh after those days, but the Carnegie Library and Museum, and Pitt’s Cathedral of Learning were all black, even though they were made from white stone. During the Pittsburgh Renaissance they sandblasted them back to white.
trump wants "HIS people" starving, afraid, sick and desperate so that he and his toadies can live lives of luxury far from the nightmare he is creating and his supporters are dumb enough to believe he will take care of them.
Support for an industry that is not only bad for the environment but also dangerous for the people who work in it. #VoteNo
5/ The bill cuts the help middle income Americans get to buy health care on the Affordable Care Act exchange. A 60 year old couple making $85,000 (not a king's ransom) would see a $26,000 increase in health care premiums. Yes, that's right - $26,000.
We canceled my insurance when my spouse qualified for Medicare
6/ Here's another one. Trump snuck $40 million in this bill for a "statue garden". Likely will be filled with MAGA "heroes", reportedly maybe somewhere in South Dakota. Plenty of money for Trump statue gardens, but not enough money to keep feeding hungry kids.
What do you wanna bet Trump will be one of the statues
Or all of the statues.
He wanted to be on Mt Rushmore. This is his version.
7/ Found another one: there’s $100 million in the bill for OMB to find “budget and accounting efficiencies in the executive branch”. What? What does that mean? There's no explanation. It's just a slush fund for MAGA chieftain Russ Vought. $100 MILLION. That's not small money!!!
Good to know that your priorities in dealing with the current Executive is policy debate.
I'll do it for $1M. Just propose an amendment that'll create a 99% savings for the federal government by outsourcing to a 100% American small business.
VOUGHT HAS NOT PAID APPROPRIATED FUNDS NOW, what in the hell do you think he plans to do with more money to spend? When are you all going get this? uncertain strategy already being used to derail the Inflation Reduction Act. www.desmog.com/2025/05/30/e...

In short, the Fascists understand that our government just prints dollars. The Dems pretend that some tax payer somewhere owns our dollar printing machine.
Republicans impose rules on Democrats that they themselves disregard.
And the Dems fully embrace the myth that money comes from tax payers. While the Fascists fully embrace the fact that the dollars in their pockets come from government spending
Stop Trump's golf trips and make SS stay in non-Trump properties. There, I saved millions. Pay me 50 bucks.

These people are such criminals and filled with so much greed and corruption. You can’t even keep up with the amount of horrors they’re committing.
The Democrats should be shouting this stuff from the rooftops.
This is not on Trump anymore. The Republicans have sold out their constituents for what? Power? Kickbacks? 3 pieces of silver?
3 boxes of used copy paper and 5 cases of Coors Banquet
Anymore? He’s only ever been an opportunistic shitbag who inserted and semi coopted someone else’s movement. They just rolled with it, because if was popular with the masses and easily manipulated into enacted their bullshit, i.e. bribed.
If republicans actually gave a shit they would have convicted him in one of his impeachment trials. They didn’t, because they were either in on it beforehand, or didn’t care because they could profit off it. So, again, trump was never responsible. He’s just the puppet enacting someone else’s plan.
Senator - I sincerely hope that you remember this day the next time you are tempted to use words like “bipartisan” and “common ground.” I will personally never vote for another Dem who talks that BS. Cc: @slotkin.senate.gov
Voters used to demand that legislators were bipartisan. Every poll showed that. But these are not normal times and GOP must be stopped. It takes new thinking. That’s hard for people who remember when it was different.
Dems better learn fast. I WILL NOT vote for anyone who talks about their “friends across the aisle” or claims to “reach across the aisle” to find “common ground.” There is NO COMMON GROUND WITH NAZIS!!! Cc: @slotkin.senate.gov
We should bring in DOGE to cut off those wasteful funds to Mr. Vought!
Our entire budget is a slush fund for them. They’re literally stealing from us and putting it directly into their pockets and the pockets of their donors.
💯
💯
All of trump’s sycophants are finding ways to steal money from the American taxpayer.Each one may have a different way of stealing money from the taxpayers but they all do it. They also use other corrupt practices to make money by being in trump’s regime.
And Rand Paul’s reason for voting “no” on this? Because it doesn’t have enough cuts for poor and middle class programs to pay for the tax cut for the rich! The GOP is perverse, corrupt, cruel, evil, and deadly dangerous to our future! We will make it pay in every election going forward..
SOOO do something. Donate your own money to help people. Stop lacking a spine. Volunteer your time and money to help. Plant trees. Donate to food shelters. I shouldn't be able to do more with less than $20,000 a year than members of CONgress do with their salaries.
You are very ignorant. Chris is a Senator fighting for us. WTF have you done to stop the bill. Then stfu!
I understand you mean him. But What will 10 trees he’d plant do? What will 20 cans of pure sodium and fake food do? There will be very very few people left with means to donate pretty soon. Hyperinflation is coming
It's not just this 1. It's all of them. I shouldn't donate more of my time and money each year when I work for a nonprofit being paid squat than the members of Congress who earn 6+figures.
WTH
Lies and the lying liars. Damn Gillibrand, I wish Franken was still in the Senate.
why not put forth amendments and strip these out?
All the amendments they tried today to strip out some of this crap was voted down by republicans
if it is under the Byrd rule Republicans don't have the votes (it becomes the "standard" 60-40 then)
Amendment after amendment proposed by Democrats has been rejected.
Of course - but make them vote/go on the record
www.cnbc.com/2025/06/30/s... The GOP is ok with more people dying.. & they will.
😲 😡 🙄
I don't want my tax dollars going for any of this.
Trump is lining his OWN pockets with this 100 million dollars in his bill. But WHO will investigate HIM? THIS is why he does it...because he gets away with it. Call him out on it. Maybe it's under the Byrd Rule & be dismissed.
Trump is making up labels to try and sound official. The clue is the word "efficiency"...similar to the label he used for Elon's fake "Department" [DOGE] to 'cut spending' while making money for himself & his 'team'. Trump is making it up to make MORE MONEY FOR HIMSELF.
Dems should call a press conference and yell about this stuff-
and it will maybe air on CSPAN 3 they can't force anyone to cover it. But plenty of time to still talk about how Biden was old
I think it's the tone of the messaging that's always way too thought out-it need to be more emotional, dumbed down and blunt imo
I think if you are really motivated and don’t want to challenge any of your previously held beliefs; it’s very easy to make anything seem how you want
I foresee a taxpayers’ strike in a couple of years
We need to be striking now! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 @generalstrikeus.bsky.social
We’re not there yet. The currently low-info folks need to be feeling the pain. And a lot of what is bad about the bill is delayed till after the midterms and after 2028
I never thought I could hate someone with the visceral passion that I hate Trump. He and his MAGA cult have destroyed so much for no other reason then they could.
there was a document before of who "qualified" to be in the "Statue garden"
Yeah, just like North Korea.
This administration is wasting so much of our tax payers dollars. Total BS!!

He wants to use the money to put his face on Mt. Rushmore.

If only this wasn't your fucking fault, huh asshole?
Outrageous 🤬 🤬 🤬
So vulgar🤮
Its gonna be confederates.
Some rich guy in the UK built a statue garden of "heroes and villains" Cleverly, none are labelled as such...
Unbelievable!!
Aaaaaak! What the actual F?
LOL😂😂😂😂. Another ridiculous waste of our tax $$$.
Hope to visit with a sledge hammer someday.
Why do you guys keep filing pointless motions to commit instead of substantive amendments? Seems like you’re just giving Republicans more time to make deals with holdouts.
what are you even talking about? You think substantive amendments will get support from Republicans? They are probably working things with the Byrd rule, where they can actually then vote them out
WTF! 🤬
I bet I know which one will be the tallest and have the most central view position...and it won't be George Washington.
The GOP’s Trump bill is “DDD” - Destructive Disastrous Deadly Children will die. Americans will die. Babies and mothers and grandparents will die. And Republicans don’t care.
Time the once "GOP" goes the way of the Whigs and the Bull Moose Party...
I dunno ... I wonder if he wants a statute garden in order to fill it with statutes of himself. That would make more sense.
A statue garden? He thinks he's Mussolini.
Of course! Or Adolf Hitler resurrected... MAGA "party" is fascism American style! USA is now a 21st century version of Germany's Weimar Republic...
That’s $80 for a statue garden & military parade. As someone who worked in state gov’t public health dependent on fed grants, I feel faint at this budget. Everything is so twisted & distorted now. Painful.
Material things over the living...says it all about Trump's character. He is a sadistic sociopath who should never have power or control over anyone.
Gross.
The list of heroes is in the federal register: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
Thank you Jackie...
Didn’t the democrats have a 16-hour marathon reading Tr*mp's comprehensive legislative package Sunday afternoon? I am guessing the republicans didn’t stay for it?
And think about how this would cause many Americans to be tied down into their jobs for longer instead being able to retire when they want to. Which is exactly what the GOP's puppetmasters want - for us to be beholden to the Masters of the Economy. #KillTheBill
😬
These guys absolutely hate America.
Nobody wants to talk about the exchange mine would go up 12/14K. I can’t afford that.

acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS SHIT.
This is what Donald wants. He doesn't care if his followers get fucked. He told you what he was going to do.
I turn 64 in a few weeks. Thanks to the ACA subsidies in the IRA I'm paying $84/mo for a mediocre bronze plan with a $9000 deductible. Now, thanks to these fucking Republicans, I'm probably looking at $900 a MONTH starting January, 2026.
While they keep trying to get rid of #SocialSecurity 🤬
My theory is that Social security is too transparent for them to get rid of. Instead they will effectively turn Medicare into a CVS coupon card over the next 20 years.
No, the campaign against Social Security is well underway. All the "how dare they call Social Security an entitlement!" people are paving the way for a bill to make it not be an entitlement any more, and then one day, no more SS checks.
Less and less though. They want to raise retirement age, crazy things like work requirements, really wacko stuff from these a-holes 🤬🤬🤬
Yeah, more like chipping away at it 🤬🤬
You will be forced on to Medicare and pay $185 a month plus whatever plan you add to it. I was paying a bit more then you but as soon as you turn 65 they kick you off the ACA and force you into Medicare.
Yes, it's fortunate for me that I'll be able to go to Medicare in July, 2026, but only after paying around $5400 more for this ACA plan for the first half of the year. This would totally blow if I was only 62 or 63 and looking at multiple years of these insane premiums.
And that’s the category I fall into. I’ve got to find a way to survive for 27 months before I reach Medicare age. I have no clue how that’s going to happen, but I am starting now to make plans; can’t “wait and see”
📌
Totally in line with the GOP health care plan; Hurry up & die already. America has the only modern economy in the world that does not have universal health care, but instead takes health care AWAY from its' citizens. Will this make us healthy or great again? Wake up GOP supporters they want you DEAD
Yup. Passive genocide plays better than gas chamber, but the gas chambers were quicker. Still mind-numbingly horrific, but 47 is the director of mass murder.

Thank you Congressman Ciscomani. You were the deciding vote in the house version. Will you honor your pledge to protect health care for Tucsonans or was that just a lie?
That’s so ridiculous.
And that's just the median, I believe. Check out West Virgina, Wyoming and especially Alaska (although the cut-off is higher in AK due to the higher FPL threshold). acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...
WV: A 64-yr old couple earning $90,000/yr would have to shell out OVER $47,000 MORE PER YEAR for the same coverage...or OVER SEVEN TIMES AS MUCH as they're paying this year. A single parent earning $40,000/year would go from paying $60/month to $185/month...over three times as much.
Millions in the state of Texas will be bled dry.
Unless murkowski got a carve out for that too 😩
I hope to God she didn’t and the republicans lose Alaska
Are you kidding? Alaskans would vote for Satan as long as he was running as a republican against Jesus

#VoteNO #KillTheBill
this is ridiculous. and f-ing evil.
Ridiculous! More money for Bezos. Much less for Joe Average American. The GOP serves the elite and a madman.
I have called both my House Gop Rep and my Gop Senator. They will both vote yes for this ugly bill. Every US Senator who votes "yes", 1. Priority is giving billionaires tax cuts at the expense of cutting essential programs & adding trillions of debt, as Gop always do. 2. There is no 2.
But keep calling and remind them of their re-election odds 🤬
I don't think any of them think there's going to be another election.
True
🤯 What about Medicare?
Medicare cuts will be automatic, if they get the deficit up. Thanks to GOP poison pill legislation from years back that's still killing programs and people today.
Cuts to that too. Directly and indirectly. This is not a full summary, but a place to begin. www.afscme.org/blog/the-bud....
PLEASE fight for us! Impeach, the 25th, whatever it takes. I’ve never felt so powerless.

The goal is to kill the ACA by plausible deniability

Welp - that’s me.
Me too
💯 This is important!
Yep, they are killing Obama care
I’m a widow with chronic health conditions. I won’t be able to afford to live anymore if that happens.
Please call your senators. They need to hear exactly what you posted.
Affordable care act will go out of business. If taco had his way he would just shoot anyone not a maggat, old, young, wouldn't matter
All they can hope for is they die or last long enough for Medicare
You think they want to save Medicare? They refer to those of us on it (age or ♿) as parasites.
Dems need to ditch Schumer and make you their leader.
Dems need non-racist/misogynist voters who'll show up every fucking election.
Schumer recently said the bill “violates the spirit of the Senate.” Useless use of his mic.
Focus
I second the motion.
Just tell him not to come back from the victory lap he's taking for cutting Senate Dems completely out of the process.
Yeah they do
I wholly agree and approve.
I’ve been begging for Senate Democrats to vote in Senator Chris Murphy as Leader for months. Senator Murphy knows what’s at stake and will fight for our democracy! 🥊 @senatedemocrats.bsky.social
Great idea.
No, no we don’t
💯
I would love that so much.
I think more importantly, Senator Murphy has to run for the D nomination for potus. He is the BEST D candidate to battle maga and he would win.
Yes ! 🙌
Agree 1000000000%
It's about time they did!
Schumer is nothing but a gas bag. All talk and no action.
Schumer has nothing to do with this. He is NOT Majority Leader. The fkkking voters gave the power to republicans. The Republicans in Congress are who you should be targeting for ditching unless you are a magat. Shame on you. This bill lays solely at the republicans feet. They are the perpetrators
Well according to McConnell, they’ll just get used to it. Or they’ll take Ernst’s approach and just die.
.....project 2025...... 🍁🛶❤️💙💚🔬⚖️🌻🌻🌻✊
2025 ACA Silver Plan (No Subsidy) Cost Breakdown: • Premiums: ~$26,000/year • Deductibles: ~$6,000–$9,000 per person • Max Out-of-Pocket: $9,450 per person / $18,900 per household • Total Possible Annual Cost: → $44,000–$47,000/year
For a couple making $85,000, that’s 55% of their gross income just to access care they still have to pay for.
Estimated total number of people functionally unable to access care: → ~28 to 32 million people
Roughly 14–15.5% of the U.S. working-age population will be functionally unable to access care despite technically being “insured” or “covered”.
Slavery is not just shackles. It’s systemic ownership of survival pathways.
The people who will be victims of this budget are completely unaware of what is in store for them
Geez. In CT they wouldn’t be able to survive. The bill that kills.
I’m going to say it again. Thune in French slang means cash. The bill should be called The People Die, Rich Thrive bill.
Despicable
Everyone who has a vote in connection with this bill, before they can vote, needs to be required to sign a statement saying that they have read it.
This is the whole reason Rs hate the ACA. Retirement before 65 is possible with the Exchange. 15 years ago 2 individual policies would cost $50-$60k a year in a smaller city. Who knows what that would look like now They want us working until we can't walk anymore
And that’s assuming that people are getting health insurance through work.
Back then the only alternative were those individual plans before the ACA exchanges. I doubt they'd even be offered anymore without group underwriting. Specialty meds alone can be $250k a year for someone. There's no premium that can cover that.
People should work longer if they live significantly longer, the ever shrinking global youth shouldn’t be subsidizing luxury for an anvil of childless boomers on their head. Retirement was set at 65 when life expectancy was 65, and retiring early is just blind extraction from young people.
Nonsense. Young people want old people retiring. That helps career progression and earning more $ so that you can retire too
They do on its face, but the entire reason the economy is shit and companies are doing everything to pinch a penny is because they have to pay out 6% of their stock value annually to retirees.
How? Defined pension is a thing of the past, for sure non-contributory programs are gone. 6% is a very high number. I'd be interested in the source. Replacing older salaries with younger people earning less saves money too. Health programs benefit from a younger risk pool, too.
401ks are 6% maximal draw for longevity
Well then that's not company funded retirement. At least for ongoing expenses. Those funds are spent while employed. Maybe for the c-suite, but your average employee isn't getting ER contributions post-departure from the company
Do you know how old Boomers are?? Do you know how much they contribute to the economy? You must have been sent here to disrupt real discourse, with nonsensical identity politics Get the fuck outta here you useless bastard.
It's not identity politics, it's a fact. The majority shareholder of every public company treating workers like shit is American retirees through their mutual funds. Retirees are choking us everywhere so they can sit happy for thirty years - and worker's rights die because retirement is the carrot.
That is untenable. I am outraged! Especially because that's only to HAVE health insurance, that's not to USE your health insurance. When I had BCBS thru work (I'm a nurse) an unexpected ER visit cost $2500 out of pocket. I'm retired and a recent ER visit cost me $50 with Medicare. I can't explain it
They want a large portion of us gone. Starting with elderly and disabled, the “takers”
A reminder that the so called "takers" have, in many cases, spent most of their lives "giving" and "giving". Any claims for assistance in their dotage is fair play. As for the disabled, nobody asks to become disabled. You cannot fault people for circumstance.
Oh I know and agree completely!!! They are infuriating 🤬🤬🤬🤬GOP
Thank you Senator Murphy for taking the time to read and share this information.
THE AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS THE PROBLEM, NOT UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS!!!!!!!
For your team to add to the list - a $17 billion tax break for wealthy venture capitalists hidden in the fine print! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
That provision comes on top of the incredibly destructive extension of the Section 199A deduction, which I wrote about for Brookings here - but unlike Section 199A, it doesn't even pretend to be for small businesses. $17 billion just for some of the wealthiest investors in America.
Tyrannical government has remove \ replacement in our founding documents for a reason. 👢👢🍑🍑🍑 They can vote to ruin us but that works both ways.
And me? I make about $36,000 a year; half of that is Social Security.This month, I couldn’t pay my rent because I had to spend that money fixing my car so I could go work. So I could pay my rent.

Trump and MAGA. Raising our taxes to pay corporations to back smog.
Not that new coal fired plants will be built. These guys are mainly out to avoid paying for the massive environmental damage they’ve wrought. And to abandon the coal miners who have been exposed to lethal working conditions traditionally.

Keep up the good work Chris. Everything about this bill is atrocious! Can you please persuade my Senator (Collins) and her friend Murkowski to tank it? The damage to healthcare, social programs, the environment, and federal research funding will be enormous. All so the rich can get richer.
There's no tanking BBB Some of the horrible House shyt will be replaced with different horrible Senate shyt

That’s great. Let’s return to filthy polluted coal energy.

Where are the dem amendments?
All voted down by the Republicans.😡
So are we going to see mini coal processors on our roofs instead of solar panels?
Yes, they're called chimneys.
While other countries are already far ahead of us in new technologies
More amendments. And when they get voted down, change two sentences and propose that "new" amendment.
Beautiful clean coal! Do you think Trump has ever been to West Virginia
Next we’ll be subsidizing leaded gasoline and encouraging cooking over open wood stoves in our kitchens. Why are subsidies needed for coal-based energy? Because it’s more expensive than solar and wind.
Both.
Trump and Putin want to mine the poles. . .
🤬🤬🤬🤬
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social run for President!
It's bad economics on top of everything our Senator has said. Coal is not a cheap way to produce energy anymore and has some of the highest startup costs of any fuel type, ranking just below nuclear (Nuclear has the advantage of generating cheap). Just beyond stupid.
Actually, nuclear generates cheap—it’s the financing and delays that inflate costs. Fix deployment, and nuclear beats fossil on price and carbon.
Absolutely right to generate a mw of power. Start up costs are calculated a bit differently and starting a nuclear reactor is a bit more involved than firing up a coal plant.
Why do Republicans cling to their destructive, ideological, positions? Is it still to “own the libs”? Global warming destroys their kids’ futures too.
Their whole mantra is: "What do I care? I won't be around."
They think it doesn’t exist, so they don’t care.
Of course it is.
Chris I give you credit for your opposition to Trumpism- but on climate change- the party is almost over. Climate change is accelerating- the democratic party has failed in dealing with the problem- the IRA gave carrots to corporations. That was not nearly enough. More corrupt capitalism?

I think there needs to be a correct analogy made to the 2005 legislation that indemnified gun makers from product liability lawsuits, except worse. Also bears similarity to the slave trade clause of the constitution. It gives a running start to an industry that's an affront to human dignity.

Meanwhile, China looks to the future and will soon be the undisputed world leader of renewables 🤦🏻♂️
Then I want all my money back from my taxes that went for these projects under the Biden administration
The big POLLUTING bill passed. Time to be concerned consumers. For: 1) transportation: ONLY buy EVs or plug-in hybrid vehicles. Public transit 2) cooking: No gas stove. Only electric induction burners. 3) heating: no gas or heating oil. Only electric & heat pumps 4) electricity: buy renewable 🙏
Speeding up climate crisis is a Republican plan. They suck.
Weird how this coincides with Russia having problems discounting 'shadow fleet' oil by enough to get countries to risk sanctions buying it and still make money, even after the Israel-Iran war "pop" in oil pricing.
Hard for the Cosplay Lt Cols to make their AI goals with those renewable cuts.
Please speak to Fox, Newsmax and TBN social media to inform them of the facts.
After driving through Kansas this weekend, and seeing THOUSANDS of wind turbines, how can a sen from that state ever vote for that? 🤦♂️
One senator, Marshall, lives in Florida, has no one in his offices answering the phones, and pretty much middle fingers all Kansans, except Charles Koch.
I take it they vote for him because he talks praise Jesus and save the babbies.
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!

It's hard to imagine a worse bill when it comes to energy affordability, independence, our economy and the climate.
Also remember the rest of the developed world is far ahead of us in developing wind and solar.
Especially since they aren't slapping constantly-shifting tariffs on it.
When the President is owned by so many various corporate interests.....and Putin.
How much of that billion was used for his campaign, and how much went into his pocket?
Says the billionaires, when Dems get in we just buy them too and put our money in the stocks for renewables, a vicious circle: made by white men to keep white men rich and separate.... when the Dems have the balls to up the tax rate on the rich to pre-Reagan levels then I'll believe in USA again
Considering how much energy AI is using right now and how much China has become a leader in this space this is horribly short sided. Renewables are win-win-win and wouldn’t be a partisan issue if money wasn’t in politics.
They clearly don’t want the US to participate in the future
Suckers!!!
I loathe them !
China is a global leader in renewable energy development and investment. They see the truth about the climate and our future. Why are we going backwards???!
Cuz renewables are "gay". God, I wish I was joking.

Leaves the industry wide open for China to monopolize.
Meanwhile, China is investing heavily in renewables and eating our lunch. What a stupid, short-sighted, decision. And why? For $$. Who cares about our kids’ and grandkids’ future. Sold them out.

Trump hates solar and windmills. He wants coal and only coal. 🤦🏽♀️
This is effed up!!!🤬🤬🤬
Do I have to continually say what we need, I know it's not moral, but in this case, it might be!!!
