There’s nothing beautiful about it

Donald Trump is pushing forward with his so-called "big, beautiful bill," but let's be honest — there's nothing beautiful about it. In fact, it should be called the Big, Beautiful Betrayal.

His billionaires-first budget scheme is a slap in the face to working Americans. Millions will lose their health care, and millions of children will go hungry — all to fund massive tax breaks for the super-rich.

That's just wrong. It's the great betrayal.

Trump promised he'd fight for America's families, but instead, he's all in for billionaires — gutting essential programs and pushing harmful tariffs that are already raising costs for hardworking people. That's not relief — that's Trumpflation. It's pushing our economy into a downturn, and the Trump Slump is looming.

I'm fighting back. We can't stand by and let this happen.

I'll be a loud "Hell No" when this bill comes to the Senate floor because I believe America works best when we build an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthiest few.

Let's keep showing up and speaking out — for health care, for food security, for economic fairness, and for the families who make this country strong.

Onward!
