Chris Murphy: "The CBO, nonpartisan, says it's gonna kick between 10 and 15 million people off their healthcare. And for what? To be able to afford a new $270,000 tax cut for the richest families in the country ... it's a moral abomination."

I sometimes think Chris Murphy is carrying America's torch for justice alone. Not enough people of influence are standing with him. But, in truth, isn't the time for fine rhetoric over?

The next president had better get us universal healthcare! Right after codifying roe, Increasing minimum wage, ending citizens united, getting unions in every company, & ending corporate subsidies & corporate welfare! That's the agenda! We're going to need everyone running to pledge to doing that!

This an example of everything that’s wrong with capitalism. There was a time when everyone trying had a chance to “make it,” but due to unfair policies that benefit the elite and keep them in the top one percent, social mobility is a thing of the past.

And since all the Republicans care about is money it’s an economic abomination. Trump is destroying rural economies with this bill. The very base that supports him. Because he’s not leading he’s running America into the ground like one of his failed casinos. 86 47 now. #NoBBB

The republican party is a moral abomination. They celebrate the separation of children from their families, laugh while their masked goons kidnap and beat people in the street, and wave their bibles around as if that makes their disgusting behavior okay.

It's a class war! They're bringing us back to the days of feudalism. They're trying to turn us against each other, scapegoating immigrants etc. so that we don't realize what's really going on. Since very few of our Reps are standing up for us, Chris Murphy being an exception, it's up to us folks!

I think the richest don’t even want this. The problem is folks in the $100K-$300K income think we mean them and they refuse to “fund the freeloaders”. Homies, you’re in the poor group too. Stop voting like your Bezos.

Also guaranteed that EVERY one of those ICE/HSI GESTAPO goons that are violently disappearing immigrants across America has multiple family members who will be gravely affected by this shitty bill. They only care about the immediate 💰💰💰 they’re making on their quotas of human flesh!

Trump’s Corruption Criminality “will” be remembered by future generations and the people that made possible this Fox News Administration “Reality Show”: Ignorant white Nationalists Trash & Dead-Letter-Literal-Interpretation of the Bible fundamentalist hypocrites, Republican Party Theocratic SCOTUS

Greediest, worst piece of legislation ever proposed, you don't have to even think twice to know who's sponsering it, and to say it's going to help the average family is a lie and an abomanation.

Try this democrats, "adding five trillion dollars to the deficit is a recipe for bankruptcy". The right wing, middle America, does not care if you kill kiddies for profits, made obvious by policies killing kiddies for decades.

Now imagine the long-term economic damage when children grow up without access to food or education—only to end up unemployed or stuck in low-wage jobs, rather than becoming healthy, skilled, tax-paying members of society. When we leave people behind, we all pay the price.

Many average Republican people are in favor of kicking off people from healthcare, until they discover that includes themselves. They've been against Obamacare, but they support the ACA. They're on Medicare/Medicaid, but are against those programs. Trump loves the poorly educated.

Why didn’t msm ask R’s all day today why billionaires need ANOTHER tax break, and how anyone could be so irresponsible to explode the debt for it, and deny services to millions of tax paying Americans who paid for it.

I know that, of course. But do billionaires really want mass poverty, a tanking economy, and suffering for the pittance, (to them anyway),they get? Do billionaires really want King Donald, who is so fucking stupid and incompetent, he puts us all in danger? I’ll never understand.

Is anyone creating some kind of private/NGO-managed fund for decent people to donate any tax savings we receive from this to people losing their healthcare (and others without it)? While of course making clear where it’s coming from and who’s on their side.

Come on Chris! Chatting up your distain by “preaching to the choir” isn’t going to cut it. Ppl Affected by the BBB don’t watch Sunday programs. Instead grab a megaphone and hit the Walmarts in rural America instead!

Abdominal the point of appearing on MTP? Self-promotion! How about all democrats get together and go on the steps of the capital and scream like banshees until people really start to listen to the truth? Self-serving, feckless, lacking creativity of ideas. Sheesh!

The 2017 Trump tax cuts are not in the Big Beautiful Bill. The Senate Parliamentarian stripped the TCJA extensions last night under the Byrd Rule. Which means the reconciliation rules blocked the 2017 Trump tax cuts and Chris Murphy knows this. Meet the Press is built on soundbites, not accuracy.

Nobody NEEDS a $270,000 tax cut. It serves no economic, practical, or national purpose. In fact, it exacerbates an obscene wealth gap in America that marches us one step closer to a French- or Russian-style revolution. The middle class NEEDS to oppose this. We'd be in revolutionary crosshairs, too.

Money spent on nutrition, education, employment regulations, health and general welfare, and diversity and inclusion, benefits everyone in society. Spending on repression, cruelty, violent police actions, and enriching the rich turns society into a powder keg. You reap what you sow.

this is how little they think of you - remembering that the rich aren't paying taxes in any meaningful way makes it even worse - enough can never be enough, greed knows no bounds what do you call someone who is born to work until they die for no recompense?

It’s going to pass. Because they have more fear of Trump than of the rage of their constituents. The question is what punishment are we going to exact on the GOP for screwing over 99% of the country. If elections are permitted in the future, vote accordingly!!!

Stop cutting taxes for the rich. Reagan, Bush, Bush, Trump, Trump. And Republicans whine about debt! Do you know how to eliminate debt? PAY IT OFF! Don't ADD to it!!! Republicans are completely illogical forever.

As always, Dems have nothing to offer as an alternative beyond whining about MAGA. Nothing to address 80M Americans being so poor or health insurance being so expensive. And that’s why they deserve to keep losing elections. Provide remedies instead of whining about the condition.

They have been working on it, but they are out numbered. We have to look to the midterms and get both Senate and Congress. It’s the only way we can get things past and even that’s gonna be difficult with the Powers that being in the White House.

They haven’t been working on anything. Their entire position is to whine w/o offering an alternative. What is the Dem alternative? What are they proposing to voters who will have forgotten about losing their healthcare or will have gotten used to it? Dems are opposed to universal healthcare.

Yes, & the amount of tax each rich family will be spared is chicken feed compared to their income & assets. It will hardly have an impact on their finances. That shows the real purpose is political, they want the poor to eat dirt & die

Congress only works for and responds to those PACs, lobbyists, mega donors and multibillionaires who give them lots of money. Our government is pay-to-play. How much influence, how much “justice” can YOU afford? Hmmm?

Two of those will likely be my twin sons with significant disabilities. These fellows have a support system in their family but there are so many who have no one. What are these politicians going to do when these people can no longer obtain medical care and land up on small town street corners?

AND, mainly in red states. Buys we won’t talk abt voting against your self interests again…..cuz Americans would rather be on skid row than letting go of their goddamn racism in the voting booth.

The problem is they're not actually believers & they secretly think Jesus is a chump. They use their religion as a form of control over women & they wield it as a weapon. Remember, we're talking about another white, male ruled institutional patriarchy. They're christofascists, not christians.

Celebrate July 4th! What is there to celebrate? The fascist takeover of our government? Democrats are the only thing standing in the way of Conservatives' plan to rewrite history, destroy our institutions and principles of diversity and inclusion, control what Americans read and how they think!

Sadly, Bernie for one has been warning about this for EVER. Pro25 is the manifestation of greedy power hungry people over hundreds of years that believe 'they and they alone' are right about what their religion says that they are the chosen and Trumpt has accessed from the heavens!

How much more fucking money does a Billionaire NEED? A Quadruple Billion? Americans ALREADY made the basterds great great grandchildren richer than golden shit. GREED is NEVER SATISFIED. If Billionaires don't want to contribute back to the country, then go live on your private islands,get out!!🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Exploding the national debt to over 40 trillion dollars! In 2025 the interest is expected to exceed one trillion dollars a year which is more than the entire defense budget! Amazing how easily the GOP ignores this and promotes deficit spending.

Senator Murphy we would like to get a look at the healthcare plans of congress. How much are taxpayers putting into to that. Do you have a copay or can you only see certain providers!

How about some journalist getting a couple these billionair's that are going to benefit from this Big Disaster Bill to explain why they need this tax break considering they couldn't spend all their money if they tried. Put them in the public hot seat. Start making it personal.

It is a one-shot deal for Trump and the Republicans. Destroy federal agencies for 1 big cash grab for tax breaks for the wealthy. Many people go bankrupt through the loss of fed jobs and healthcare and take the worst jobs previously held by immigrants or go hungry.

And don’t forget to mention that those getting the tax cut voted for exactly this. They only care about making money and rubbing the tax payers noses into how much money they have. The Bezo wedding and all the guest are heartless ghouls.

Jan. 2025 Amazon closed 7 warehouses in Quebec, reportedly to stop unionization efforts. 1700 FT workers lost jobs, as well as roughly 300 PT workers. In June he spent between 35 to 50 million dollars on a destination wedding to his 2nd wife. Tell me he needs a tax cut. F--- tax cuts.
