Trump Celebrates July 4th Week By Taking Healthcare Away From Americans

Super patriotic, bro

As we wait for the “big beautiful bill” to be placed to a vote, it’s becoming clear that the GOP “hold-outs” will eventually fold (just like they did with all of Trump’s cabinet nominees).

Seeing how Republicans like Hawley and Murkowski talked a big game only to fall in line at the last minute, don’t be surprised if this bill passes exactly as is — with nearly a trillion-dollar cut to Medicaid, a trillion-dollar tax break for billionaires, trillions added to the debt, and food stamp programs slashed.

And knowing that you cannot negotiate with Republicans — just as you cannot negotiate with terrorists — it seems the only real play Democrats have is to make sure everyone knows that it’s Republicans who are taking healthcare away from the American people.

By the way

Trump and Republicans have set their deadline to pass the bill by July 4th, because of course they have.

It’s so perfect.

They’re going to turn it into some big patriotic act about “celebrating” America’s Independence Day by “passing Trump’s bill”, even though their bill will strip Americans of their actual independence by forcing them into medical debt, sickness, and hunger — while driving up electricity costs by 30%!

In my view

July 4th would be a perfect time for another round of No Kings protests — in the theme of saving Medicaid and blaming Trump and MAGA for coming after it.

Also

The war with Iran seems to have de-escalated overnight, raising the bigger question: What the hell was the point of all that if we didn’t even take out their nuclear program?

Was it all a distraction from the bill?

Or a desperate ploy by Trump — an insurrectionist felon — to secure himself a Nobel Peace Prize nomination?

Oh well

There aren’t a ton of new stories today. Although while all this was going on, Jeff Bezos held a lavish $50 million wedding — showing us exactly how he’ll use the money he saves from Trump’s “Big Beautiful” billionaire tax breaks.

Most importantly

I hope you guys had a nice, restful weekend.

Let’s stay loud and keep fighting the good fight.

Happy Monday!
