The legislation Donald Trump just signed into law is nowhere near as "beautiful" as the name claims.
It's going to rip away healthcare from 322,000+ Virginians, and it puts 6 or more of our rural hospitals at risk of closing.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

Never forget that Lisa Murkowski—who claimed to hate the bill and believe that her vote ensuring it would clear the Senate merely served to send it back to the House for changes, following which it would return to the Senate—absolutely knew her party is a cult and that the bill was never coming back

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

The richest 1% ($916,900 and above) will get an average cut of $68,430. The poorest 20% (up to $27,000) will get a whopping cut of $30.
But wait—incredibly, it gets worse.

Senate Republicans are set to vote on Trump's Big Billionaire Bill soon, but despite its unpopularity with Americans, they'll shamelessly vote for it so they can give their billionaire and corporate donors a tax break while stiffing working people.

One of the stranger NYT articles I’ve ever read. The two most important things about the situation—Trump exiting the Iran Nuclear Deal as it was working perfectly and the fact that there’s no intel suggesting Iran has pursued more than a civilian nuclear program in 20+ years—are deliberately absent.

This is another way of saying that, per usual, Trump is making life and death decisions—ones that could destabilize the planet—on a whim, exhibiting the maturity of a child. It doesn't matter what your political affiliation is, we need serious people in office and he isn't one.
