This is your daily reminder that Republicans are planning to gut Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP to hand tax breaks to billionaires. We can’t afford to get distracted. Help me spread the word.

It is quite rare for consumer spending to fall in inflation-adjusted terms. It happened during covid, and during the financial crisis, and it is happening now.

The "big, ugly bill" is going to fire 20,000 health care workers in Kentucky. That's 20,000 people who won't be able to pay rent, afford groceries or care for their families. This isn't something folks can "get over." Raise your voice and demand to stop this harmful bill.

Striking: Trump's budget bill is now polling in 20s and 30s. "It’s astonishing how underwater it is," says @sarahposner.bsky.social. Rs haven't even "tried to hide" that it takes from poor to give to "megarich." On the pod, Sarah is great on Trump's big poll slide: newrepublic.com/article/1973...

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism. It's a lie.

Seventh set of Byrd droppings is out, and WOW! We won on trans care in Medicaid, provider taxes, FMAP, immigrants in Medicaid, and other issues. These victories are amazing for the people they help - and cost Rs more than $250 billion of their savings by rough calculations, largely not curable.

When Republican voters learn that the "Big Beautiful Bill" takes from the poor to give to the rich, they oppose it.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: “Democrats' messaging is breaking through. I'm listening to voters in the focus groups — they're saying back what Democrats are putting out there, which is they are cutting your programs, programs that benefit you in order to give tax cuts to very rich people.”

The sixth set of Byrd droppings is out and WOW - huge and COSTLY loss for Republicans. Loan repayment changes can only be for new borrowers, and they lost on CSRs, can’t add new Hyde language, plus other stuff. By my rough calculations, this just cost Republicans $150 billion or more of their cuts

Republicans just lost 10% of the affirmative savings they wanted to get in reconciliation. Truly in awe of the Bernie Sanders HELP staff and the Jeff Merkley Budget staff.

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

One political challenge for Republicans is that bad things that happen in the health system will get blamed on the One Big Beautiful Bill. Some of it will be true, some of it won't. The same thing happened with the ACA, but the ACA also provided a lot of new benefits for people.

While leaders in D.C. are cutting Medicaid from 16 million Americans and causing folks to lose local access to health care, we're working on ways to bring care right to Kentuckians' doors. We're helping people lead better lives – something every level of government should be focused on.

Leaders must take responsibility for their words and actions. Disagreeing on something doesn't mean someone is evil or less of an American, and rhetoric like that is fueling violence that has no place in our country. Even if you disagree with me, you're still my neighbor.
