  1. Start the Medicare for all campaign now through the election cycle.

  2. They tell you it’s for the working class, then slash Medicaid and SNAP. That’s a highway robbery against everyday people

  3. Now I want to know what are you and other Dems going to do about it, with the midterms next year.

    Would be nice to see the party not fumble the opportunity here to show voters , that Republicans lied and are gaslighting the public on what’s in this bill

  5. What really gonna get peoples goat is when we find out from the Republicans in 3 years that all the massive costs and trillion$$ in new debt ….were all the dems fault.

  6. >Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ([AOC](https://www.latintimes.com/topics/aoc)) slammed the passing of President [Donald Trump’s](https://www.latintimes.com/topics/donald-trump) “big, beautiful” bill, which cleared the Senate on Tuesday and made its way back to the Lower House.

    >”[JD Vance](https://www.latintimes.com/topics/jd-vance) was the deciding vote to cut Medicaid across the country. An absolute and utter betrayal of working families,” the lawmaker said in a social media publication.

    Once again AOC speaks the truth directly, and that’s why Republicans despise her so much. But it’s much worse than a betrayal on working families.

    This bill spends tens of billions of dollars to build concentration camps, and adds 10,000 more thugs kidnapping people off the street.

  8. You can’t betray working families if you never cared about them to begin with.

    GOP with the big brain strats.

  9. Friends, let’s gather and hold hands, Praise Jesus, we successfully voted to take food and healthcare from poor people to benefit the rich. Amen.

  10. Slams!!!! So much slamming happening all the time. So tired of all of the slamming.

  11. Can you imagine being a millionaire rn? Man must be nice!

  12. Yet their supporters/voters are more or less down with this mess.

    Insane seeing people say we need these cuts because “we aren’t a bunch of commies.”

  13. Eh. Trump got these folks to vote for him. It’s not a betrayal. It suck that it comes to this but actions have consequences.

  14. In 1789, the French monarchy ran out of money. They’d racked up huge deficits through a combination of foreign intervention, meager social programs to maintain a semblance of social order, and supporting the lifestyles of the nobility. Their biggest problem is that they’d exempted their wealthiest citizens from paying all or nearly all taxes, and they were incapable of collecting sufficient revenue without major reforms to the system. Interest payments ballooned, and took up so much of the national budget that there wasn’t enough room to spend money on anything else. They had to give up on their international interests, cut back on the meager spending they made to the poor, and when climate emergencies like the French crop failure of 1788 hit, there was nothing they could do to relieve the suffering.

    Anyway, they eventually figured it all out and nothing of interest happened for the next 30 years of their history. I bring this up for no reason whatsoever. As a completely nonsequitur, if you’re invested in timber, heavy metal objects and simple machining, I predict some bright years in your future.

  15. Working class people voted for this. Now, they are going to finally pay a dear price for their stupidity and hatred.

  16. Hopefully we’re going to see attack ads on every Republican that supported this thing, tying deaths and trauma out of this nightmare directly to them. Never let the constituents forget that their friends and family barely scraping by on Medicaid or SNAP or another assistance program got hurt by this.

    Won’t reach everyone, the denial is strong, but it will reach some. 

  17. Can’t wait for the “counterweight” to swing back, overcorrecting this controversy. I hope there’s still a country left to save when the time comes.

  19. The “Big Ugly Bill” will kick over 16 million off health insurance, make the largest cuts to DHS in history, & make higher education less affordable. The lower class will lose about $1,600 every year. The middle class will gain 0.5 to 0.8 percent; about $500-$100 a year. The upper class making $700,000 a year will see a $12,000 boost. This figure doesn’t count the massive estate tax giveaways. The rich in the top 10% of income will get 68% of benefits. Now, what did these Trumpsters say about Trump being for the working class/the poor?

  20. I don’t think conservatives can pretend to be for smaller government when they passed a spending bill with the word big in it.

  21. Boy I’m really glad the moderate Third Way centrists catering to the moving-goalpost as defined by Republicans has been so successful for Democrats. We sure did take all branches of government and save the country, didn’t we.

    Definition of insanity. AIPAC-DINOsaurs own part of this catastrophe and need to go.

  22. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse’s speech about how the Bill is corrupt should be required listening. He ripped the Republicans a new one, but somehow it wasn’t enough to stop them from crawling on their bellies like reptiles and voting for the bill. The Hall of Shame has a lot of new members today.

  23. I can see it now.

    “WHY DID THE DEMS LET THIS PASS?! NOW WE ALL HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE THEY DID NOTNING!”

  26. Exactly

    And just to add fuel to this fire…

    Since January, the USD has fallen to its lowest level since 1973.

    It is currently at $0.85:€1.00 and dropping! Trump, the GOP and this bill are burning down all of America.

  27. The same people who said Kamala had no plan to help the working class cheer for the people who passed this bill. Unreal

  28. Yep…. That’s what happens when you vote in fascists 

  29. I know everybody’s up in arms about Medicaid and that will have a big impact on daily life, but with the infinite ICE budget and the newly official ability to ignore the courts, I’m somehow even more concerned about the police state aspects of this bill. Even if they were to completely repeal all the aspects of Medicaid, there’s still so so so so much more to be concerned about here.

    On the other hand the impact to daily life is what will be needed to wake people up… so… idk.

    (The Medicaid cut is also part of their extremely deep attack on education. Medicaid funds school nurses, Speech/Language/Occupational/Behavioral therapies for kids in publics schools. Without those services, it’s that much more for teachers to just have to handle on their own, which result in an additional amount of crazy burnout among teachers. Those kids will require more teacher focus just to stay in their chairs, taking away from everyone’s ability to learn.)

  30. It’s doesn’t matter. Most Americans are too stupid to realize what happened and who did it.

  32. That should be the slogan for the democrats: “Absolute and utter betrayal of working families.”

  33. Clinton, Obama and Biden raised taxes on the wealthy, expanded the economy, expanded government services to help average Americans, decreased unemployment, decreased poverty, decreased inequality and decreased the deficit. Obama and Biden gave healthcare to tens of millions of people, so that now the vast majority of people without healthcare are in states where Republicans blocked the medicaid expansion. Bush and Trump cut taxes on the wealthy, cut government services, increased unemployment, increased poverty and crashed the economy. If you want people who fight fo and fundamentally improve the lives of average Americans, vote for Democrats

  36. There are not two sides people … DIG DEEPERS

  38. And when the democrats come someday to fix it, they’ll blame dems for having to raise taxes to do it. I wonder what those billionaires will do with their new-found windfall?

  39. The “working families” in the shit hole town I’m in are literally cheering for this. I am so sick of living in a society surrounded by stupid idiots who happily cut off their nose to spite their face.

  40. I want to see Democrats gloating at the betrayal of MAGA families. Don’t stick up for those fucking pieces of shit. Don’t invite them into our tent. Don’t offer them a helping hand out of their own mess. Fuck them. They’ll never come around anyways. They’ll hate the dems even if the dems save them. They’re not worth saving.

  41. Protest this July 4th. No fireworks, grilling, shopping, nothing. This is absolutely ridiculous.

  42. Maybe if the dems get back into a position of power, any MAGA supporters must wear a scarlet M.
