Early this morning, House Republicans passed Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill to kick millions of Americans off Medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations - but not before they snuck in even more changes that will make life harder for the most vulnerable Americans.

But that isn't the last word: now the bill heads to the Senate. Our nation is at its best when we stand up for those in need and for what is right. It’s time to remind our Senators why Americans are against this cruelty, and demand they do better.
Anyone taking a joyride to South Korea right now?
Did someone take away Schumer's flip flops?
Not that it really matters. It's not all that bad if the bill does pass, it's what the red states wanted 🤷♂️ let the leopards feast!
They only care about doing whatever 47 wants.
Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.
If you believe in this so passionately, are you actively trying to organize it?
If a group starts a strike without a clear & agreed set of demands, its lost before it starts
Popular ideas for demands are here: https://GeneralStrikeUS.com/demands
Not to do what this other person did, post OT replies to a political notable's post asking why he isn't taking active steps to implement something he's never said he advocated in the first place. It's just so ... weird.
Few have shown any signs of awareness that the grassroots have already decided to shut this s*** down, which bodes poorly for their legacies.

Every Republican cowers at the thought of a mean tweet or nasty name from the bully Trump.

He’s defying all check and balances with strategically placed loyalists.
Time to cut out the cancer.

Have you forgotten the social pressure put on kids?
My daughter would have refused and given a excellent answer to why she won't-when she was 14
She felt the same way about in in first grade but couldn't handle confrontation
She would just cry
So NO pray in school is not harmless
Help us stop
This madness happening in our dear country!
Time to get uncomfortable America.
They’re all pointing & saying, “Look at that!” but DOING NOTHING
If you’re not willing to take the lead, to develop a plan, willing to deliver that plan & willing to ask Americans to help, stop pointing and sit down
@vanhollen.senate.gov
Seriously I swear yt folks are not mad enough. Maybe just maybe this would be the kick up the backside they need. When they no longer have have anything
We are all f’ed bc votes decided to give maga rot the whole thing.

The Big Beautiful Bill is an Ugly Duckling cuz of what it does to the deficit.
According to CBO it creates deficits at 7% of GDP. This even worse than Biden.
The result will eventually be high inflation & low job growth.
It will be painful for future generations.

You don't have be religious to realise that he was handing out quotes to suit every Trumpist crime, like sweets at a kids' party.
1. Call & email your Senators
2. Call Republican Senators
Be relentless every single day
3. Folks near DC protest on the Capitol steps every day
4. Protest at local Senators offices in your state
We've got to show up! Let them SEE and HEAR us!

Nothing much really.
Did I get it right?
He is there to loot the Treasury.
He is there to wage Class Warfare.
He is there to destroy American lives while corruptly enriching himself and his friends.
He is there to Cuck the world and make everyone bow down to his Fascist desires.
#impeachtrump
FUCK ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO HELPED THIS HAPPEN
Though it didn't seem like the judges were planning to actually enforce contempt orders anyways.
We're drowning in apathy from every imaginable source.
It’s no different to facing the playground or workplace bully.
We are frozen. But I will stand up and vote. I’ll get my family and neighbours to vote.
#trump approach is to scare people from standing up. Always has been.
Stand up. Vote.
Early this morning, House Republicans passed Trump's MAGA MURDER BUDGET that kicks millions of Americans off Medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations...
Let your representatives know how angry you are that they passed it.

But yes, it's a cult
All present Democrats did what they could
Black, Latino, and LGBTQ Americans will see no significant reduction of health benefits.
Lead with that.
Yet here we are. Ignoring the Bible AND the Constitution. What could go wrong?
But does that segment even care? Biden IS a devout Christian and no one cared.
GOOD FIGHT

Do Republicans realize how many of their voters will be directly affected by this?
What a horrible day.
Not for the MAGA voters themselves though - they voted for this.
(Drumroll 🥁 …)
Protection of the dictators personal residence!!!!
I am asking you and others to please read and speak about:
July 4, 2026 - countdown clock on White House web site (it’s a launch date)
The Religious Liberty Commission
Article V Constitutional Convention
Thank you
Pete - somehow we as a society have got to stop fearing everything and everyone. That is how all of this ends.
What am I saying? That’s what republicans are hoping for in the first place and I suspect democrats will give it to them to help negotiate other “more politically advantageous” provisions out.
outta the ADF and Heritage
Foundation playbook
Project 2025 = GOP Platform
Trump Lied about “not knowing
anything about it”.
But it was all so clearly a lie.
I’m in PA and I made my calls this morning. And, I will continue to call and email.
PLEASE! Take action to save our democracy! 🚨‼️
Why is the “big, beautiful” description always used. I know it’s what the GOP named it - why not rename it something like “bizarre billionaire benefit” bill when describing how awful it is?
Words matter.
Messaging can be sussinct.

I can't understand why this isn't getting far more attention⁉️

It won't simply make life harder. It will KILL Americans.
State it bluntly. Republicans have passed a bill that will kill Americans.
Aka
The new peasant class.

This wont JUST effect the Dems. This cut will not discriminate. It will cut 13 million equally. Although i'd wager that in the rural areas impacted the most, there are more MAGA than Dems.
They all think they’re the Revenant until they get sick.
“ Liberation Day” may be an example, a Trump term which the press (infuriatingly) adopted, but which is so patently absurd that it doesn’t seem very persuasive.
Any specifics in terms of what tax cuts are specifically targeted for those folks?
He’s a cult leader. He’s so deep into the heads of his followers, it’s pretty mind blowing actually. I can’t wait for this era to be over.
Here are some nice facts about Mayor Pete:

If that sticks, I maintain that we will have far more with which to be concerned from this despotic criminal administration.
Let's just call it what it is.
They control all of the levers of power and police.
You could tell us to vote, but we know that it will be far too late and won't do anything.
You could provide a plan of action, but we know that isn't going to happen.
