I'm on the Senate floor right now debating Trump's Big Ugly bill, and I really worry Americans do not fully realize just how bad it is. Please help get the word out. This is just SOME of what's in the bill (so far).

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

I'm well beyond pissed that leadership isn't SCREAMING at the top of their lungs (and then taking every action imaginable-because without that, scremaing is pointless) about people across ths great nation having no idea who masked men are arresting and detaining people just living their lives.

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

Why why why? How is it Mueller, Garland, Smith et al were unsuccessful? Long term planning by Heritage & Federalist. And Dems? Where’s the evidence of our long term w Think Tanks? Yes, we have them. Dems are too trusting, not cut throat like Rs. Big flaw. Maybe we need to use their tactics, too?

The Trump administration has released a three-time felon and five-time deported immigrant because he's going to testify against zero-time felon Abrego - all to cover their tracks for mistakenly and illegally sending Abrego to El Salvador and then lying about it to the court to cover it up.

The hospital system isn’t being “reformed.” It’s being hollowed out. $793 billion cut from Medicaid. 300+ rural hospitals on the edge. 11 million people losing coverage. This isn’t policy. It’s a controlled demolition.

Lisa Murkowski and John Thune deserve this. Trying to exempt Alaska from odious parts of this bill to buy her vote is overruled by parliamentarian. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

ICE already can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

It’s so weird to watch Peter Thiel answer questions about his nefarious data company — he ends up quoting the Bible. It feels like such regression. Like the new dark ages. Like 10,000 years from now they will find pieces of our society and hypothesize on how we managed to have running water.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump didn’t have the decency to call Governor Tim Walz, or anyone in the Hortman family, to express condolences. Not surprising, since he's a narcissistic sociopath. Probably happy with the result. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal apnews.com/article/minn...

Sen Murkowski, a steaming pile with a cherry on top is still a steaming pile. You just agreed to advance the BBB despite full knowledge it will do great and lasting harm not just to Alaskans, but to our entire nation. When this abomination reaches the floor, have a conscience: VOTE NO!

I hate to say this, but this terror regime's license to disappear anyone off the streets is a tiny degree away from extrajudicial killing of citizens. This is well beyond a 5 alarm fire.

Look at it this way….. when the GOP passes the #BigBrutalBill, they cut healthcare for the most vulnerable, give huge tax cuts to the people who need it least & they fund a giant expansion of Trump’s Gestapo forces also known as ICE. It’s dark.

If this bill passes, the hospital closures start nearly immediately. Can't even imagine how many tens or hundreds of billions in corporate debt/credit is calculated on the presumption of these funds. We are potentially talking "GOP loses every single senate race in 2026" territory

They told us it couldn’t happen here. But it did. ICE became Trump’s secret police—warrantless abductions, unmarked vans…and citizens disappeared. This is how authoritarian regimes begin…quietly, and in plain sight. I break it down here.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Only truly grotesque Americans would flock to Venice to lavish in obscene wealth at the very moment Medicaid is stripped from millions of vulnerable people. Never forget who went to that wedding.

ICE does not behave as law enforcement. They have no badges, often no prominent identification and hide their faces behind masks. They kidnap and brutalize people whose only crime is coming here to work.

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.
