Let’s break it down—because Republicans are hoping you won’t read the fine print. This is what’s actually in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” passed to debate by the Senate Saturday night in a 51–49 vote.
No Democratic support. No CBO score. No shame.
THE BILL AT A GLANCE:
✔️ Permanent Tax Cuts for the Wealthy
✔️ $930 BILLION in Cuts to Medicaid
✔️ Work Requirements for Medicaid and SNAP
✔️ Rollbacks on Clean Energy & Climate Policy
✔️ Special Pork for GOP Holdouts (Alaska, North Carolina, and Florida)
✔️ Billions for Border Militarization & Deportation Infrastructure
❗ AND—it adds up to $4.2 TRILLION to the national debt
TOP 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:
1. Medicaid Gets Ripped Apart
This bill would slash $930 billion from Medicaid, potentially kicking up to 11 million people off health coverage—including:
• Seniors in nursing homes
• People with disabilities
• Parents and children
• Low-wage workers
And to make it worse? They’re adding “work requirements” so people who need Medicaid will have to prove their worth to access care.
This is forced labor policy dressed up in budget language. They deported the migrant workforce and now they want to fill the gap with poor and Black labor. ~Patricia Bee, FAFO Newscast.
2. Tax Cuts for the Rich Stay Forever
The 2017 Trump tax cuts—originally set to expire—are now locked in for good, costing $3.5 trillion over the next decade.
If you’re a billionaire, you win. If you’re working two jobs and need healthcare? You’re on your own.
3. It Adds Up to $4.2 TRILLION in New National Debt
Let’s talk hypocrisy.
These same Republicans who throw fits over student debt relief or food stamps just rammed through a bill that will balloon the deficit. Preliminary estimates from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) suggest that this version could add $4.2 trillion or more to the national debt over 10 years.
That includes:
• $3.5T for permanent tax cuts
• $350–500B for border militarization
• Lost revenue from IRS gutting and climate rollback
No offsets. No shame. Just a handout to the rich and punishment for the rest.
4. Whaling Captains Win, The Rest of Us Lose
To win over Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Republicans slipped in a provision expanding tax deductions for whaling supplies.
Meanwhile, your grandma might be kicked out of her nursing home.
5. Climate? Erased. Surveillance? Expanded.
• EV tax credits gone
• Wind & solar investments slashed
• Expanded drilling in Alaska
• States blocked from regulating AI in energy for 10 years
• Billions for surveillance tech, ICE, facial recognition, and military drones on the border.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
This isn’t a budget. It’s a manifesto.
It’s the MAGA vision for America:
• Reward the rich
• Punish the poor
• Strip away healthcare
• Bulldoze climate protections
• Militarize the border
• And rack up $4.2 trillion in debt—without blinking
And it only passed to debate because Lisa Murkowski got her damn whaling tax deduction.
Share this. Screenshot it. Yell it from your front porch. Let people know the truth about what will happen if this bill is passed into law.
They are counting on us to be too overwhelmed to fight. So let’s fight.
Because we all know lisa Murkowski is a friggn liar. She always says she's not voting yes until they give her what she wants. I hope people in Arkansas finally realize she needs to go
