These are the stories I have been hearing from those who will be affected by the harsh measures in this bill.
People, in red and blue states, whose lives will be affected by Trump's Big Ugly cuts to programs like SNAP.

Time for my Republican colleagues to reject these draconian cuts to Medicaid and kill the Big Ugly Bill.
“Incredibly rich,” is an apt description for whom this bill benefits.
And they know it.
People feel more squeezed than ever. They're working harder than ever and still struggling to get by.
It's not their fault.
But if we pass this Big Ugly Bill, it will be ours, for making their struggle a lot more difficult.
This Big Ugly Bill borrows from our children and grandchildren to give today’s billionaires a massive tax cut.
Every American should know that simple fact.
I just left the Senate floor after speaking out against the Big Ugly Bill.
It breaks my heart that this is what we’ve come to as a Senate — and as a country.
The Big Beautiful Bill is in its ugliest form yet.
- Adding $4 trillion to the deficit
- 17 million will lose health care
- 30% higher electricity costs
- Biggest ever cut in food assistance
- $1 trillion in billionaire tax cuts
We’re doing everything we can to block this.
Your energy bill is high. If the Big Ugly Bill passes – it's going to get even higher.
More money for big oil – a less affordable life for you.
Any Republican who votes for this Big Ugly Bill is going to have to own it.
We're going to make them take full responsibility for cuts to healthcare, higher food and energy costs, and all of the other disastrous effects.
Donald Trump promised to lower costs for Americans on day one. He lied.
Now, he’s repaying the states that voted for him by increasing their health care costs with his Big Beautiful Betrayal.
The decision whether to unleash the dogs of war should not be made by this president alone, or by any other president acting without the consent of Congress and the American people.
Against a malign power like Iran, or any other country.
Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution says that “The Congress shall have power to declare war.”
Today's decision previews a dystopian reality where a lawless President can dispense with the Constitution to deprive American children of their rights.
And whether these kids have the right to defend themselves now depends on the state in which they live.
That is un-American and wrong.
Donald Trump has a special gift for grift.
The Trump Administration had Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche sit in on the nomination hearing for Emil Bove yesterday.
They were there to keep a watchful eye on committee Republicans – and try to prevent the rejection of another patently unfit nominee as we did with Ed Martin.
Emil Bove orchestrated the dismissal of the charges against NY Mayor Eric Adams – in some illicit bargain between the Justice Department and the Mayor of New York.
When I pressed him on it, he gave the lamest excuse for dropping a corruption case that I’ve ever heard.
It’s been about 30 years since I was an Assistant U.S. Attorney. And maybe it’s just me, but I think I would remember telling my fellow prosecutors that we should ignore a court order and tell the court “fuck you.”
I cannot believe I have to say this.
We should not be confirming judges who advocate for disobeying court orders that are inconvenient for Donald Trump.
