Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.

There are numerous tax cuts and loopholes in the "big, beautiful bill."
But it boils down to this simple fact:
Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and meals from millions of people.

By continuing to supply Israel with military aid, the U.S. is complicit in this bloodbath.
