Yes, there are a couple of provisions I support—raising the SALT cap and eliminating taxes on tips. I’ve advocated for those. But not in exchange for gutting health care, food assistance, clean energy jobs, and our kids’ economic future.

And here’s what may be the most stunning part of all: this bill adds $3 to $4 trillion to the national debt. There’s no credible plan to pay for it—unless you count new tariffs, which are just hidden taxes that raise prices on everyday goods like food, clothing, and cars.

It also imposes a new tax penalty on clean energy projects that don’t meet supply chain requirements that are virtually impossible under current market conditions. That means fewer jobs, higher electricity bills, and middle-class families priced out of rooftop solar.

Now let’s talk about clean energy. California has over 540,000 clean energy jobs. Many of those are right here in our community—solar, storage, electric vehicles, and manufacturing. This bill accelerates the rollback of clean energy tax credits.

Then there’s food assistance. The bill tightens work requirements and shifts costs to the states, meaning fewer people will qualify for SNAP—especially those working seasonally, part-time, or recovering from job loss. This hurts working families, plain and simple.

The Senate version deepens cuts to Medicaid. Nearly 1 in 3 Californians rely on Medi-Cal—our version of Medicaid—including thousands of low-income seniors, veterans, and children with disabilities. This bill adds red tape that could push them off their coverage entirely.

One of the worst takes I’ve heard is that criticizing it is just partisan fear-mongering. It’s not fear-mongering to talk about what’s actually in the bill—and how it would hurt working families.

Unfortunately people run off of vibes and slogans way more than they do facts, because I would love for someone to use the facts and explain to me how Trump & project 2025 are reciprocal to Clinton, Obama or Biden.

There is an intentional dismantling of our government in favor of building up a unitary executive that furthers the interest of a white nationalist ideology. This isn’t “you win some, you lose some.”

You have to be a special brand of delusional to come onto my post, with condescension trying g to teach me something, and then when I correct you, try to spin it as that you’re a victim. Please go outside and touch grass, and then donate to an immigration and black charity.

Every administration has been coming for me and my family first &foremost, from Jim Crow, to red-lining, to the Tuskegee Experiments, to flint, to every black LGBT person murded by the police who’s name you don’t remember. I know what’s at stake. This is bad messaging.

I think people are missing the point. Native Americans are not immigrants. There are whole swaths of the Latino community that have been here before the US was a concept. Decedents of slavery were STOLEN AGAINST THEIR WILL, and did not choose to be here and are not immigrants.
