Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day. 1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.

Insane: This #BigUglyBill would deliberately make clean wind and solar power more expensive and make it cheaper to use polluting coal.

It’s hard to choose the *worst* provision of the mostly terrible Senate #OBBBA #BigUglyBill. But to TAX wind and solar power just to make them instantly more expensive? And cede the whole industry to China and Europe? How insane is that? renewables.org WindPower SolarPower Europe

What is reconciliation − the legislative shortcut Republicans are using to push through their ‘big, beautiful bill’? Note the irony: a tool originally created 50 years ago to balance the budget is being used to pass record deficits! ctpost.com/news/article/w…

I disagree strongly with the #BigUglyBill which extends tax cuts for the rich while cutting health care and clean energy. But even more despicable is the irresponsible Senate Republicans accounting trick to hide the true cost. Read below. #BigBeautifulBill #bigbeautifuldeficit

The US is the only OECD country that doesn’t provide universal health care to its citizens. We do, however give partial care to the neediest and the elderly. Trump’s bill would reduce that benefit. It’s a big step backwards. Congressman Brendan Boyle Barack Obama Republicans against Trump

“In my view, while reconciliation remains a powerful budgetary tool, its current use represents a fundamental inversion of its original purpose. Americans deserve an honest debate about trade-offs, rather than more debt in disguise.” —HKS's Linda Bilmes ken.sc/4lyiyoj

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that if trump weren't on the "missing" Epstein client list, he'd have sued Elon by now, and we'd be looking at the names of ALL clients on that list, both Democratic and Republican. Release the list.
