Senate Republicans have just moved to proceed to the "big beautiful bill," which would cause the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history while simultaneously cutting taxes for the richest Americans. Thread on the process to follow.

As Murkowski considers whether to vote yes or no on the motion to proceed, I think it's important for her to know that there's a very significant chance the last-minute Alaska kickback provisions will be Byrded out.

They do this cause they know the bill is terrible for their states & districts. So they post a tweet opposing it, then fold right after. That way, come election time, they can claim they “fought it.” 99% of the time, that fight was complete BS.

Right now, no one knows: -how large the Medicaid cuts are -how many people will lose health insurance -how large the tax cuts are -who wins/loses by how much -how much it adds to the deficit Rs are going at lightning speed BECAUSE they want to pass the “big beautiful bill” before anyone knows

I really don’t think most Americans know we are only days aways from millions losing their health insurance in the biggest cut to Medicaid in history, plus millions losing food assistance in the biggest cut to SNAP in history. The next few days are crucial for fighting the “big beautiful bill.”

My service dog Anjelika makes it possible for me to do things that I could not do without her assistance. Here she is exhausted after spending the day with me in DC. I’m so grateful that I have her in my life and I was able to do this trip. This bill cannot pass. I did everything I could to stop it.

Belatedly noticing that when the govt asked SCOTUS to clarify its order in the 3d-country removals case today (DVD), it also asked it to bar Judge Murphy from issuing any more injunctions without SCOTUS's preclearance or, alternatively, to remove Murphy from the case. It sees SCOTUS as its enforcer.

The Byrd bath victories we’ve had are amazing and worth celebrating, but as written, the “big beautiful bill” would still force the biggest SNAP cuts in history, as well as the biggest Medicaid cuts in history. We might only have a week or two to stop this. Collective action is desperately needed.

trump implicitly pretending his “big beautiful bill” is about freedom (by tying it to july 4) is really gross. it would kick more than 10 million people off their health insurance and rip food assistance from millions including families with kids as young as 10 freedom to be sick and hungry maybe

Finance Committee text is out - this has the Medicaid cuts and the tax cuts. Will go through it in this thread. But what we can say for certain is that, like the House version, this would be BY FAR the largest Medicaid cuts in history, kicking many millions of people off their health insurance.

How is it possible to increase the deficit by trillions while still making tens of millions of Americans poorer? Because this bill would cut more than a trillion from health care and around $300 billion from food assistance. This bill would make the poorest poorer while making the richest richer.
