Nearly everything fake moderate @Lawler4NY says below is a lie so I won’t go line by line. Here are the facts: he will vote to blow a $4T hole in the deficit, kick 1M New Yorkers off insurance—including 32K of his voters—all while getting rolled on SALT. We won't forget in '26.

Who is one of the nation’s biggest opponents of the Big, Beautiful Bill? Pope Leo and the Catholic Church. Twenty bishops called President Trump’s cuts to Medicaid and food stamps “an affront to the dignity of human life.”

This bill will cut healthcare for millions. Hospitals and nursing homes will close. It guts clean energy investments that could be key to our future growth, crippling our ability to confront climate change & ceding ground to China. It will explode the deficit & the debt.

I feel for the millions of Americans who will lose health care coverage because of this bill. They have been betrayed and misled by their leaders and deserve better.

New analysis from Cato Institute finds the tax bill adds *+$6 trillion* to the debt Honestly a bit surprising to me how much of Washington’s conservative establishment — Cato, Tax Foundation, AEI, Manhattan Institute — has been strongly & publicly critical of the legislation

Always remember—because the issue will certainly come back around—Republicans absolutely do not care about fiscal responsibility and the existential threat of crushing national debt.

This is the healthcare cut impact to NY in the unpopular budget bill that Republicans just passed. $8 Billion in Cuts Targeting New York Hospitals and Health Systems 65,000 Jobs Lost Due to Cuts to Hospitals and Community Health Centers Serving Low Income New Yorkers 1.5

Also calling two presidents of different parties condemning Trump's US AID cuts "notorious foes" really gives the cynical hyper-partisan game away.
