So today, we recommit. To each other. To the fight. To the idea that America can + must be better than this. Because patriotism isn’t blind loyalty. It’s standing up, speaking out, + refusing to let injustice win.
Let’s hold on to hope. Let’s get to work.
And let’s remember what we’re fighting for.

We can’t ignore the painful irony. On a day meant to honor liberty and justice for all, our rights are being dismantled, our freedoms rolled back, and our values betrayed.
But the 4th of July isn’t just about looking back. It’s about choosing to keep moving forward—even when the road gets hard.
Today should be a celebration of freedom and democracy. But instead, it’s the day Donald Trump signs one of the most dangerous, regressive bills in our nation’s history into law.
This bill is not about helping everyday Americans. It’s an assault on the working class, a gift to the ultra-wealthy, a climate disaster, and a ticking time bomb for the economy.
It’s shameful. It’s dangerous. And it’s unforgivable. (10/10)
Leader Jeffries’ extraordinary speech laid bare how dangerous this bill is.
Meanwhile, it’s clear from the President’s comments that he doesn’t even know what’s in his signature legislation, or that it'll kick 17 million people off their health care.
The ignorance and apathy is staggering. (9/10)
That Speaker Johnson chose to keep the procedural rule vote open for hours last night while holdouts made backroom deals with the President on their own pet issues, forcing debate on the bill into the dead of night, underscores the chaos that has defined this process from the very beginning. (8/10)
And immigrants in our communities—many of whom have already survived unimaginable hardship and who contribute actively to our communities and local economies—will be forced to live in even greater fear of being detained or disappeared. (7/10)
The impact of this legislation here in Maine will be devastating. Tens of thousands could lose access to health care and food assistance. We’re already seeing the closure of hospitals and clinics across the state. This bill puts even more pressure on our already strained health resources. (6/10)
It hands ICE over $75 billion—more than we spend in a year on the Marine Corps or medical research—to create a secret deportation force and a vast network of detention centers, enriching private prison companies while subjecting immigrant communities to unfathomable fear and suffering. (5/10)
And let’s not forget the absurd political vendettas and pet projects tucked in the bill, like raising taxes on clean energy, showering the oil and gas industry with subsidies, building the President’s so-called ‘Garden of Heroes’, and moving the Space Shuttle Discovery to Texas. (4/10)
And they’re doing it all to hand more than $1 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. They’re willing to sacrifice the health and wellbeing of hardworking Americans and marginalized people to make the rich ever richer.
It’s deeply immoral and needlessly cruel. (3/10)
This bill represents one of the largest wealth transfers in American history. It also cuts more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and nearly $300 billion from SNAP.
The burden this will put on states is enormous, and will almost certainly lead to higher state and local taxes. (2/10)
🧵
Today, the House passed the most harmful, heartless, and regressive bill I’ve seen in my time in Congress. It’s difficult to overstate the scale of devastation this legislation will unleash on families across the country. (1/10)
I would stand on that House floor for as long as it takes if it meant protecting their Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital benefits.
We’re not backing down.
Thank you, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, for leading the charge and forcing a vote on this bill to happen in the light of day.
It looks like Republicans will have the votes to pass Trump’s disgraceful megabill.
Conveniently for them, debate didn’t start until ~3am. But @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is on the floor making his voice, our voices, +the voices of the American people heard loud+clear.
We will keep fighting this.

Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life.
And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans.
We will not be silenced.

UPDATE from Washington: Republicans don’t have the votes to pass this bill, so we’re in limbo while holdouts make backroom deals.
But @housedemocrats.bsky.social are standing our ground and are ready to debate and defend Medicaid and SNAP.
We must #KilltheBill
Trump is illegally withholding nearly $7B in education funds, including $26M owed to Maine’s public schools. This is theft.
Every day this money is withheld is another day that Maine students are denied the resources they need.
My office is working to get this money released immediately.
Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs. The Big Bullshit Bill increases the cost of:
📈 Health care
📈 Housing
📈 Gas
📈 Groceries
📈 Utilities
📈 College
📈 Energy efficiency upgrades
All so millionaires and billionaires don’t have to pay more in taxes.
This was always their plan. #KillTheBill
The new Big Bullshit Bill includes more than a *TRILLION* dollars in Medicaid cuts.
Nearly 400,000 Mainers rely on MaineCare. Tens of thousands could lose their coverage.
We should be making Medicare and Medicaid *more* accessible—not kicking people off their healthcare so the rich get richer.
