If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

The American people won’t forget how Republicans voted to eliminate their health care and jack up their energy bills — all to give tax breaks to the wealthiest people in the country.
Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is the ultimate betrayal. But the fight’s not over yet.
