This Saturday, I’m holding an emergency ‘Save Medicaid and Medicare’ town hall about the new GOP budget that slashes health care. We'll talk about how we can protect Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Austin, RSVP to get details here → bit.ly/ATXTownHall

Every independent analysis is clear: the budget bill passed early this morning by the House GOP will gut essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP for working Americans, and make the ultra-wealthy richer. We must do everything we can stop this bill in the Senate.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is 1,116 pages long so bloated with additions it’s barely about budget reconciliation anymore. The goal? Make it so long and dense that no one reads it. We broke down part of it this weekend and are working on more. Updates coming soon.

The calm before the storm

President Trump and the GOP lied to Americans about their "big beautiful bill." Tax on tips? Still there. Tax on overtime? Still there. Tax on Social Security benefits? Still there. The Trump administration continues to help the wealthiest Americans instead of the working Americans.

Kamala was right...Hillary was right....ANITA HILL WAS FRIGGIN RIGHT..........

And Fight we must......

Not pictured is the ensuing rain clouds and hellacious wind that followed this morning's sunrise. What a day for weather 😵‍💫😵

🥁🥁🥁This information could come in handy, check it out and pass it on

The Trump administration has halted some regulatory matters involving Musk's companies and fired people from agencies investigating Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink. www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-mu...

At the conclusion of the experiment not a single customer bought the American-made version. Furthermore, fewer than 1 percent got as far as adding the American product to their carts. Meanwhile, 3,500 bought the cheaper model. www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/ar...

🤬 WHO is PAYING for THIS? Did the American people authorize such an expense? We cannot afford services, we are kicking immigrants out right and left, but this is what our president decides to do with OUR money?!🤬 www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

The report notes that the federal court "has nationwide jurisdiction over tariff and trade disputes" and that, in the case of constitutional issues, a three-judge panel will hear arguments as opposed to a single judge when confronted with lesser issues. www.rawstory.com/trump-tariff...

Your School House Rock moment......

On today's Democratic Daily Download, @RepJahanaHayes explains how Republicans are trying to cut $230 billion from food assistance.   House Democrats are fighting back with the Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act to protect these basic needs programs.

It really shouldn’t be a surprise that the pope’s stated values are antithetical to Republicans because the teachings of Jesus as I learned them in Catholic school contained a lot more empathy and caring than what we see from the modern GOP

even after today’s announcement, Lutnick’s trade war messaging has shifted from “90 deals in 90 days” to “it’s gonna take a little more time than you think”

They like to be lied to yet don't want to be referred to as a "cult"🙄

The visual "emphasis” at the end!😆

Yet another in a long line of examples of Trump openly saying he has no idea what his government is doing.

Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."

Casar: "I've knocked on 1000s of doors and not a single time has someone said, 'Thank God you're here. I want to ask about trans people fencing'..what the hell are we doing? We are here bc MTG thinks if she picks on trans folks, she can avoid having a discussion about allegations of insider trading"

Goldman: "The notion that bc he won an election that he should be able to ignore the Constitution or violate our laws is preposterous. Every president wins an election. That does not mean they get to just make up whatever laws they want ... Donald Trump does not get to decide what the law is."
