Oppose Trump's regressive "Big, Beautiful Bill" harming vulnerable Americans
Text SIGN PUSKWJ to 50409 — The "Big, Beautiful Bill" proposed by the Trump administration raises significant concerns and should be opposed. While touted as providing economic relief, it would in reality exacerbate inequality and undermine vital social programs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates this legislation would increase the deficit by a staggering $3.8 trillion over 10 years, benefiting corporations and the wealthy at the expense of low-income Americans. Despite claims of reducing waste, the bill makes draconian cuts of $698 billion to Medicaid, stripping healthcare from over 8 million vulnerable individuals. It introduces stringent work requirements that punish beneficiaries already facing barriers to employment. Furthermore, the bill extends the regressive 2017 tax cuts which disproportionately favored the top income brackets. This fiscally irresponsible maneuver comes at a time when investments in key areas like education, infrastructure, and sustainable energy production are desperately needed to bolster long-term economic prospects. Upholding such an exploitative agenda that overwhelmingly harms America's most marginalized communities cannot be justified. I urge you to stand against this legislation and its thinly veiled attempts to entrench corporate power and inequality under the guise of economic stimulus. Real relief centers the needs of working families, not further enriching the privileged few.

For those who are interested, Yale did indeed record my American Revolution lecture course -- lecture by lecture -- and post it online, where the entire course is available for free:

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Very good thread!
There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.
My Open Letter to Elon Musk
From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.
