And let’s not forget the absurd political vendettas and pet projects tucked in the bill, like raising taxes on clean energy, showering the oil and gas industry with subsidies, building the President’s so-called ‘Garden of Heroes’, and moving the Space Shuttle Discovery to Texas. (4/10)

And they’re doing it all to hand more than $1 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. They’re willing to sacrifice the health and wellbeing of hardworking Americans and marginalized people to make the rich ever richer.
It’s deeply immoral and needlessly cruel. (3/10)
This bill represents one of the largest wealth transfers in American history. It also cuts more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and nearly $300 billion from SNAP.
The burden this will put on states is enormous, and will almost certainly lead to higher state and local taxes. (2/10)
🧵
Today, the House passed the most harmful, heartless, and regressive bill I’ve seen in my time in Congress. It’s difficult to overstate the scale of devastation this legislation will unleash on families across the country. (1/10)
I would stand on that House floor for as long as it takes if it meant protecting their Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital benefits.
We’re not backing down.
Thank you, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, for leading the charge and forcing a vote on this bill to happen in the light of day.
It looks like Republicans will have the votes to pass Trump’s disgraceful megabill.
Conveniently for them, debate didn’t start until ~3am. But @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is on the floor making his voice, our voices, +the voices of the American people heard loud+clear.
We will keep fighting this.

Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life.
And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans.
We will not be silenced.

UPDATE from Washington: Republicans don’t have the votes to pass this bill, so we’re in limbo while holdouts make backroom deals.
But @housedemocrats.bsky.social are standing our ground and are ready to debate and defend Medicaid and SNAP.
We must #KilltheBill
Trump is illegally withholding nearly $7B in education funds, including $26M owed to Maine’s public schools. This is theft.
Every day this money is withheld is another day that Maine students are denied the resources they need.
My office is working to get this money released immediately.
Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs. The Big Bullshit Bill increases the cost of:
📈 Health care
📈 Housing
📈 Gas
📈 Groceries
📈 Utilities
📈 College
📈 Energy efficiency upgrades
All so millionaires and billionaires don’t have to pay more in taxes.
This was always their plan. #KillTheBill
The new Big Bullshit Bill includes more than a *TRILLION* dollars in Medicaid cuts.
Nearly 400,000 Mainers rely on MaineCare. Tens of thousands could lose their coverage.
We should be making Medicare and Medicaid *more* accessible—not kicking people off their healthcare so the rich get richer.
⚡HAPPENING NOW⚡
I’ve joined nearly every single House Democrat this morning on the steps of the Capitol. We are standing together in strong opposition to this big ugly bill.
Tune in 👇
Yesterday, the Senate sent the House an even worse version of the Big Bullshit Bill. We’re expected to vote on its final passage as soon as tonight.
Remember: We only need THREE Republicans to join Democrats in opposing this disaster and standing up for the American people.
13/ I will fight this with everything I’ve got.
Maine won’t be punished for feeding hungry families. Period.
12/ No tweaks or phase-ins can fix this.
Whether they base the penalty on 2025 or 2026 rates, or delay implementation a year—it’s still a cruel, cynical policy that will hurt families.
11/ This is nothing short of an unfunded mandate—engineered to gut anti-hunger programs and shift costs to the states.
And for what? To pay for billions in tax breaks for billionaires and pork projects.
10/ SNAP helps 175,000 Mainers, including:
- 36,000 children
- 6,300 veterans
- 53,000+ people with disabilities
- 25,000 households in ME-01
It keeps food on the table and the local economy afloat. Cutting it would devastate our state.
9/ What does all this mean in real terms?
- Schools could lose access to universal free meals
- Farmers markets and small grocers would suffer
- Families already struggling would fall through the cracks
8/ That’s not all.
The plan also jacks up the share Maine and other states would have to pay to administer SNAP—from 50% to 75%. That’s another $5 million burden for Maine.
And we haven’t even mentioned the new federal work requirements.
7/ Things like new tech or additional staff would help lower these error rates, but this requires money and time that states won’t have now.
