Here’s a short guide if you’re talking to family and friends this weekend about the GOP budget bill. 1/

Republicans are celebrating the passage of the largest Medicaid cut in U.S. history to pay for the largest tax break for billionaires in American history. 51,000 Americans will die each year so that the top 1% can get a $1 trillion tax break. This bill is a death sentence.

One of the worst bills in our country’s history. Republicans don’t give a shit about our families and kids. This party doesn’t deserve to govern.

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

Another one for the "media double standard" file. Trump politicized FEMA's response to the NC hurricane last summer and the media kept the story alive for weeks to kneecap Harris. Trump's cuts to NWS *directly resulted* in people dying and it's barely a story.

They’re not sending their best.
