If the Big Ugly Bill becomes law, over half of nursing homes say they will have to reduce staff, and a quarter say they will close. Hospitals will close, too. Unless you’re a billionaire who can hop in a helicopter to see your private doctor, this bill will make your health care worse.

Senator Murkowski cut a backroom deal to exempt Alaska from Medicaid cuts, but the Senate parliamentarian shut it down. Protecting your own state while harming millions elsewhere is selfishness and disgusting.

Republicans are putting 17 million lives at risk in their “Big Beautiful Bill.” These are more than just numbers. These are real people who deserve to live a life without worrying they will go broke if they need health care.

USD1—a stablecoin linked to President Trump and his family—is now the second most traded in the world. Next week, the House is voting on a bill that would let Trump’s crypto cash machine keep growing with no guardrails. Congress can rein in this corruption—or greenlight it.

NASA is being told to cancel 19 active missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE hiring/retention budget going forward. I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans are taking votes right now to jam through their awful bill. They don’t want you to know all the bad votes they’re taking. I’m making sure you know EXACTLY where they stand and what they’re doing.🧵

Rolling back child labor laws. Cutting food assistance for children. Slashing educational opportunities. And now Rep McCormick thinks we should go back the Victorian era where children toil in dangerous jobs. No food, no education, and no healthcare = no bottom. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

UPDATE: Senate Republicans made Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill even worse. Now, this bill rips health care coverage away from 17 MILLION people—that’s an additional 1 MILLION people. Health care cuts now total over $1 TRILLION.

There are no end game metrics to the ICE detention program. No rules, no standard of engagement, no clear goals. It's reactive, uncalibrated, open-ended, shapeless, unaccountable, sloppy, and blindly quantitative. The proposed budget is larger than the FBI, DEA, ATF, and IRS/Treasury combined.

More fake ICE agents doing horrible things. Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

Lauren Boebert decided to follow my lead and visited a rural hospital. She got a photo op. But we have the receipts. She voted she voted to cut Medicaid, ACA enrollment, and grants our rural hospitals rely on in Colorado 4. Her time representing our district isn't going to be for long.

51,000 people will unnecessarily die each year under Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” Mitch McConnell wants them to “get over it.” No person in this country will “get over” losing a loved one so Republicans could fund tax giveaways for billionaires.
