I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Instead of asking ‘Do you think billionaires should exist?’ reporters should start asking ‘Do you think homelessness should exist?’

Here's what a Dem consultant told a reporter about my story that the GOP bill,as written, forces $500bn in Medicare cuts:
"I need an actual publication to verify this before I take it seriously. Like what’s Jake Sherman’s take here? My understanding is these Medicare cuts are routinely cancelled" 🙄

Republicans Are Cutting Medicare. Not Only Medicaid, Medicare.
Passage of the Big Beautiful Bill will force mandatory sequestration that will mean half a trillion dollars in Medicare cuts.

Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a deal with the devil.
It hikes up taxes on people making less than $50,000 while cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits to give Elon Musk and greedy billionaires a huge tax break.
You do the math. Is that worth it to you?

The US senate just declared war on the American public. A bill that destroys Medicaid while cutting taxes for the wealthiest at a time when we already have record income and wealth inequality is societal suicide.

Here's the proof: Republicans are only looking out for their millionaire and billionaire friends – and they're willing to gamble with your lives to pay them off.

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

refreshing to find out that some bombs are too unseemly to drop
Presidents have been known to use salty language behind closed doors. But President Trump may be the first to very deliberately drop an f-bomb on camera.
Breaking another presidential norm, Trump drops the f-bomb on camera
