Trump’s Beautiful for Billionaires Bill isn’t cutting any deficits.

The truth is he’s adding TRILLIONS to our national debt.

All to give the wealthy another massive tax giveaway.

#Medicaid cuts have consistently made up much of the total cuts House GOP leaders have been considering. If new goal is $1.5T in spending cuts up from $300B, moderate Rs must push back against it and Freedom Caucus or #Medicaid will face even more draconian cuts. The $1.5T target is also a minimum.
💸 Scoop in this morning’s Early Brief:

The House GOP is kicking around a $1.5 trillion budget number for the “big, beautiful bill,” @mariannasotomayor.bsky.social and I can report.

Still spaghetti-on-the-wall phase of talks, but they’re tilting toward what the Freedom Caucus wants.
