When Republican voters learn that the "Big Beautiful Bill" takes from the poor to give to the rich, they oppose it.

Despicable.
Thousands of people rely on Planned Parenthood for cancer screenings and pap smears, STI testing, and so many more essential services. Women should not be penalized for needing reproductive health care.
They’re citing a think tank that’s actively gutting child labor laws… I’ll stick to trusting the CBO (which clearly states the big, beautiful bill is a giant pile of bullshit)
Educating Republicans on their own bill is one of my least favorite parts of my job.
BREAKING: Snake oil salesman sells snake oil
They won’t cut spending for things like Trump’s flights to his golf courses and resorts every weekend, but they’ll trip over themselves to cut spending on things poor people rely on like Medicaid and food stamps.
The news cycle is terrible because I read some horrific headline about what’s going on in the world, and then remember that while that’s happening, Republicans are ALSO taking health care and food stamps away from millions of Americans who need it.
I always admired and respected Bill’s keen twinkling eye, his capacity to see the people in the news, and his wisdom over the many years that we shared the same turf at the Minnesota State Capitol.
Sending you peace, Bill.

"They'll get over it."
That's apparently the closing message from Senate Republicans before they vote to take away health care from millions of Americans — all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
Unbelievable.

You know things are bad when House Republicans — who voted to cut Medicaid by $800B — are worried about Medicaid cuts in the Senate GOP's bill.
But make no mistake: both the House and Senate bills kick millions off their health care. We're fighting them with everything we've got.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.
Jamming this bill through while claiming you’re a ‘fiscal conservative’ is Olympic-level mental gymnastics that I honestly thought most Senators were too old to be capable of.
Giving the biggest corporations giant tax breaks, paid for by kicking Americans off their health insurance and taking their food assistance, will not make us great.
Those tax savings aren’t going to trickle down to workers. They’re going to pay for stock buybacks.
Republicans overturned Roe v. Wade 3 years ago and it's been chaos ever since.
Women should not have to plead to get the medical care they need, and they should not be denied life-saving care just because a guy in a suit thinks it's wrong. Abortion bans kill women.
Seems bad.
Idea: Scrap the whole thing.

Lots going on in the world right now but please don’t forget they’re going to try and jam one of the largest transfers of wealth from working families to the richest corporations through the Senate this week.
Thank you to the tireless response teams and volunteers helping with recovery – my team is in communication with emergency managers, and we are committed to assisting in every way we can.
The Trump administration should work to reestablish the diplomatic negotiations we know offer a path to reining in Iran’s nuclear program.
His actions risk escalating this conflict in dangerous ways, and it is his responsibility to protect the tens of thousands of US troops in the region and the United States’ vital interests.
Iran’s nuclear program is a threat to global security, and they cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
But President’s Trump’s action to bomb Iran with no consultation with Congress is unacceptable and ignores the Constitution.
