7/ Found another one: there’s $100 million in the bill for OMB to find “budget and accounting efficiencies in the executive branch”. What? What does that mean? There's no explanation. It's just a slush fund for MAGA chieftain Russ Vought. $100 MILLION. That's not small money!!!

6/ Here's another one. Trump snuck $40 million in this bill for a "statue garden". Likely will be filled with MAGA "heroes", reportedly maybe somewhere in South Dakota. Plenty of money for Trump statue gardens, but not enough money to keep feeding hungry kids.

3/ The bill BANS state regulation of AI - a stone cold giveaway to the tech companies who want to addict our kids, pollute our politics, and kill our jobs with zero guardrails. Rumor is there's a new language coming, but it's still an effective ban. Just an outrage.

2/ It was bad enough they cut all the tax incentives for wind and solar energy - they added a NEW TAX on these projects to make sure America never builds any new renewables. Remember, Trump promised the oil industry provisions like this in exchange for a $1B campaign donation.

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.

Buried in this bill is a provision that forbids federal judges from challenging the Trump administration with citations. This is the END of the concept of checks and balances in America. Trump will be a full blown dictator with nothing stopping him.

It is a true failure of journalism that no major publication has tacked the hiring of contracted bounty hunters to be part of the war on non-white people and IMO the kidnappings that are happening on streets all over America. Where is the investigation? Where is the unmasking?

This is a very misinformed view of clothing manufacturing. Tariffs can drive up prices, shrink variety, and lower quality. Let me show you how. 🧵

This is really infuriating. RFK Jr has chosen to protect his children from preventable diseases by vaccinating them, but urges other parents to leave their children unprotected. Shame on him.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s practice of using…

Speaker Johnson is 100% incorrect (receipts below) and he HIMSELF voted by proxy. He thinks it’s *so unconstitutional* that he did it—not once or twice—but nearly 40 times? 1/?

It only took Mark Kelly 47 seconds to make it abundantly clear that Pete Hegseth is not qualified to manage a Dunkin' Donuts, let alone be the Secretary of Defense of the most powerful military in the history of the world. 😳👇

DOJ failed us. SCOTUS failed us. Mitch McConnell failed us. Senate Republicans failed us. The mainstream media failed us. The Manhattan DA's office failed us. Everyone said Trump was done after January 6. But NO ONE did their jobs to make that happen.
