The Big Ugly Bill is-in part-a smokescreen to cover the MAGA agenda Which is to destroy the Affordable Care Act This was ALWAYS the plan "The bill 'will move us as a nation back to the same percentage of uninsured before Obamacare'" But it's worse Rural hospitals will close And people will die

The new ICE budget is $160 billion. The Marine corps budget is $57 billion. Try to imagine the graft and corruption that's going to be happening at DHS over the next couple of years. Nobody will be accountable. It's going to be a fascist candy store.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.
