I want to emphasize that this is 18,000 avoidable deaths per year of Medicare enrollees. They aren't in CBO's "uninsured" count — they're older people and folks with disabilities on Medicare who won't get extra financial help because of a proposed moratorium on a regulation.

People often say Trump has no beliefs or principles, but this really isn't true. He is deeply, personally, and diligently committed to two things: racist immigration policy and destroying the American economy.

The CBO's scoring on this, by the way, is complete nonsense. They presumed that a $1,000 fee to apply for asylum would not lead to a significant reduction in asylum applications, or that there would be any funding from humanitarian parole applications at all. So the bill's scoring is WAY worse.

I need cis people to understand that if this bill passes, thousands of trans people will die. That's not hyperbole. That's not sensationalism. That's fact. You know the genocide of trans people in the United States you refuse to acknowledge? It's here.

Republicans should be embarrassed with themselves for voting to take away people's health care and food to fund tax cuts for the rich. They should also be embarrassed that the bill is actually called One Big Beautiful Act.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.
