They have no idea how absolutely screwed they are! They think they’re afraid of tRump, wait until all their constituents know the truth about what they voted for!

They are probably exempt from his tax cuts. I'm sure they wouldn't vote for themselves to have to pay more. They are probably getting a tax cut not paying more. It's probably hidden down so far in the bill, that nobody could find it.

MAGA won't understand until they themselves feel the consequences. Our job to not let them blame democrates. The timing of the horrible stuff is shortly after the mid-terms the ending of the " goodie bread crumbs" end when Trump leaves office. So we need to start talking about it now before democrates resume control.

If they only listen to Fox they will never hear the truth.

What a gut wrenching thing to do. I hope they all have to face the people in their districts and explain how stupid and biased they are. They probably won't though, since they are such chickens and foul people. The people that I have told about this, have been saying, "oh, Judy, you are so wrong. tRump would never allow this to happen and that I am listening to the wrong stations." They are as stupid as this administration.

Indeed, these days republicans, being the conniving and spineless rodents they are, are actively, advisedly avoiding any sort of town hall meetings where they would have to face angry constituents.

When Dems hold townhalls in the counties that their own representatives are too cowardly to show up, there should be a large mailbag, writing paper and pens for the attendees to write their (frustrations) questions, comments and demands to their no-show reps. Then the bag could be publicly delivered to them in the House or Senate.

The MAGAts have cleverly hidden the worst parts to kick in after the 2026 midterms. The Dems need to come out of their deep sleep and start letting the public know (and repeatedly) that the most odious and damaging parts about that cute trick that MAGA pulled.

I agree. The dems have a gift to lay out the truth and blast it in tv , radio and billboards! They need to play hardball with this NOW!!! They need to keep it up till the midterms

Teri, I agree with you, but I do wonder about the implementation. I hope that they will do the smart thing and form a "government in waiting" as happens in the England. This will allow the to educate the voters not only about the MAGA bill and events (all negative) but also present some positive things about how they will lead and govern. It cannot just be pure hammer and whining; I think sweetness needs to be mixed in.

We have an obligation to do that as well. A few months before midterms, I will be talking about it to friends, neighbors, etc and posting on social media about the deception, in case people forgot.

There is a lot of time between now and the effects of the bill. With every gd day being more chaotic, it's easy to forget since the cuts won't take effect until 2026. I read somewhere they plan to blame it on the Dems.

I won't let people forget who to blame and it's not the Dems.

100%. Tell everyone how the timing of the cuts etc. is not because it's to help the people, but to play politics with people's lives.

People need to know. So they can prepare, and also so they can share.

This is what I like. Guest articles, text based articles.

It seems like you are running more of them lately, and good for YOU.

I like to read news and opinion.

Please keep running guest articles because I will be waiting out here in the interworld, ready to read them.

This was a great article, foreboding and yet up lifting.

Well written by a person who certainly has credentials to speak on the topic.

Thank you for publishing this text based guest article.

This bill causes real pain to so many who are already hurting. Not to mention what it does to the US debt.

Trump is smiling in the picture accompanying this article, although I can't remember seeing a full smile on him like that in the past. He's gleefully signing this horrific budget. He knows he delivered for all his uber-rich buddies at the expense of the most vulnerable.

O M G!! We can scream and shout and kick our feet but the CONVICTED FELON RAPIST and his GOON SQUAD are coming after ALL OF US! Those who are different and disagree with him...it's only getting worse! And NOTHING is stopping any of it! ICE goons are running over peaceful protestors and pepper spraying them for protesting!! Watched V for Vendetta last night....eerily similar to what's happening here! And the MAGGOTS are cheering him on! Hell has frozen over and we're repeating the Nazis!! This is THE most frightening time to be in America....I would like to think SOMETHING would stop the madness but it's just continuing....Congress and SCOTUS has abandoned the Constitution and the people...we THINK we can vote them out but the felon will probably cancel the midterms and the presidential election and Congress go along ...

If you want to educate and inform people about the real scope of the “Big Beautiful Bill” why not get some decent millionaires/celebrities to pay for billboards in every town in every state in the country? Highlight a different resolution every week. Take ads out in newspapers and magazines. Be relentless about getting the truth out there for everyone to see. Calling Congress just falls on deaf ears. Get the word out in every possible way you can. The truth matters.

Anyone who voted for Kransov deserves to lose their healthcare and die.

If Democrats were smart they campaign on repealing the treason bill instead of going after Mamdani.

You need to explain to the public what this tax bill will actually do and not just tell us that it’s horrible! What will it cost someone making $50k per year? $100k?$250k?

Remember, many who voted for trump were manipulated and duped by an excellent Con man.

Propaganda is very effective.
