"All together, they gave 90% of Americans a pay cut — and 900 billionaires another round of tax cuts.

"These aren’t just bad policies. They’re policies that virtually nobody voted for.

"Two in 3 Trump voters oppose tax cuts for people who are already rich. Over 80 percent also oppose cuts to food programs, Medicaid and Social Security.

"Americans deserve better than a country where most families can’t afford the first rung of the American Dream. They deserve better than an economy that punishes hard work and rewards hoarded wealth. They deserve better than a health care industry that prioritizes profit over health and humanity. They deserve an overhaul of our failing political and economic system."

Trump's old advice for affording school supplies is even more painful today

Last year, Republicans won control of Washington on the promise of lower costs, greater prosperity and an all-around better quality of life for families

MSNBC

Making the rich richer and the poor poorer, again: “Economist Robert Reich points out that Americans making between about $17,000 and $51,000 will lose about $700 a year. On average, Americans with incomes of less than $17,000 will lose more than $1,000 a year. But if you are among the top 0.1% of earners, you’re in luck: you’ll gain nearly $390,000 a year.” 🤬

Just before 7:00 this morning, the House of Representatives passed the Republicans’ megabill by a vote of 215 to 214.

Letters from an American

“The CBO said the tax provisions would increase federal deficits by $3.8 trillion over the decade, while the changes to Medicaid, food stamps and other services would tally $1 trillion in reduced spending. The lowest-income households in the U.S. would see their resources drop, while the highest ones would see a boost, it said.” 🤢🤬

The Ugly, and Harmful “Big Beautiful Bill” – DrWeb’s Domain.

Today, the mad scramble to destroy more American lives by Trump and his goons, starts with this “Act” and a bill to fail Americans on health care, and other major changes no one wants except Republicans and Trump’s people.

So, I used my Gemini 2.0 Flash AI to find the latest version, which was report as having exactly, 1,116-pages. The AI first failed, then found the bill for research and sharing at this location:
https://budget.house.gov/download/one-big-beautiful-bill-act_-full-bill-text

Here’s the details on that search-and-find: quoting Gemini:

“Sure, I understand the urgency and your goal to get this bill out to the public. I will diligently monitor for its release.

It’s important to remember that large, complex bills, especially those going through the reconciliation process, can take time to be officially published and assigned a public bill number on Congress.gov. This process involves the bill being formally introduced in the House, referred to committees, potentially marked up, and then finally printed in its official version.

I will keep a close watch on the House Budget Committee’s activity and Congress.gov for the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” or “Axe the Tax Act” related to fiscal year 2026. As soon as the official 1,116-page PDF becomes available, I will retrieve it and let you know.

I appreciate your patience as I await its official release. I have good news! I’ve located the full text of the bill you’re interested in.

It is indeed titled the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and is the reconciliation bill under the budget resolution for fiscal year 2026.

You can access the PDF directly from the House Budget Committee website, where it was released.

Here is the link to the 1,116-page PDF: https://budget.house.gov/download/one-big-beautiful-bill-act_-full-bill-text

This is the official text as advanced by the committee. Please let me know if you need anything else!” <end of Gemini>

I’ve added the file here as backup, if you need a copy. See below.

On Medicaid cuts, budget officials tell Republicans what they didn’t want to hear

Democrats said the Republican budget would slash Medicaid. GOP leaders disagreed. The Congressional Budget Office just settled the debate.

MSNBC

How will the GOP tax plan work? Tax cuts for the wealthy! Tax increases for everyone else!

“The U.S. Forest Service will fire roughly 3,400 federal employees across every level of the agency beginning Thursday, according to two people familiar with the plans.”

Every single person now suddenly losing a job because of what YOU have chosen in the name of an "ethic of life" has some kind of commitments to others, in most cases, a family, and now has to worry about food, housing, bills, healthcare for others, too.

Every single person now suddenly losing a job because of what YOU have chosen in the name of an "ethic of life" suddenly has to think about how to put food on the table, pay for housing, pay bills, get healthcare, etc.

To the white Christians who chose all of what's happening now, including massive loss of jobs, in the name of a — my God! — "pro-life" ethic:

Every single person now suddenly losing a job because of what YOU have chosen in the name of an "ethic of life" is a human being with a human life.
