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).

This bill is not something Americans will just “get over.” But a message to anyone who votes for this — there’s a good chance people WILL get over YOU.

Russ Vought is already illegally withholding hundreds of billions in federal funding from our communities.
Now, he's refusing to rule out cutting off even more funding with a new, illegal end run around Congress.
He's ignoring common sense & the plain text of the law.

Republicans want to cut Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
That will mean hospitals & clinics closing their doors, moms & babies losing health coverage, seniors cut off from home care services & forced out of long-term care facilities & so much more.

In February, I led over 150 Members of Congress in a letter to the Treasury demanding answers about Elon Musk’s access to taxpayer data.
This is the non-responsive letter they sent me this week.
I’ve filed a discharge petition to try and force a vote on my bill to end Musk’s access to your data.

We've had enough of them exploiting families, swallowing up small businesses, and making products and services more expensive yet worse quality. So this week, we launched the Monopoly Busters Caucus in Congress to take on big corporations.

On today’s episode of “He’s Tearing This S**t Up”—Trump plans to dismantle NOAA, shutting down climate research and weather labs.
In Texas, that means fewer hurricane warnings, less drought data, & more risk to our communities.

While Trump's tariffs raise costs for families, Republicans are full steam ahead on their plan to cut programs like Medicaid & SNAP to hand out more tax cuts to billionaires.

All while RAISING our national debt by TRILLIONS.
