And we need to make sure we have elections. We need to fight with every ounce of strength that we have and make sure the ballots are counted honestly - hand counted if need be.
Yes, and start right now fighting hard against all the voter suppression efforts on the state by state basis that they’re trying to push through, stacking election boards etc. we need to get off our butts and on the ground and start with grass level action. That’s how Obama got elected- community organization
Unfortunately I think Trump told all Republicans there would be no more elections. That is why they caved. I think he will try to get rid of anyone who opposes him. And unfortunately, I think blood will fall before we can get rid of Trump and his minions.
You think so?! I keep seeing all my Substack follows, all my Pro-Democracy YT Channel subs, all the cable news pundits saying “How can the MAGA Congress be passing a Spending Bill so blatantly destructive to so many Americans but especially to pure Cult MAGA voters in Red States.”
You know why this CORRUPT, COMPLICIT MAGA Congress IS NOT PUSHING BACK "NO!" against ‘Rump and “NO!” for their Red States constituents as they try to shove the Big BS Billionaire "Welfare" Bill (that will DESTROY Obamacare, SNAP, Medicare) down Poor/Working class Americans throat the past 3 days?! All for Dear Leader's STUPID MADE UP BS 7/4 DEADLINE, Congress doesn't end on 7/4 you moron ‘Rump trying to play your Reality TV Game with MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LIVES/SURVIVAL…
THEY ARE BEING TOLD THERE WILL BE NO PRIMARY OR VOTING REPURCUSSIONS FOR THEIR ANTI-AMERICAN/PRO-BILLIONAIRE YES VOTE!!
Because this FASCIST 'Rump Regime next move is to STOP ALL ELECTIONS PERIOD!!
Don't be naive people. EVERY DAY since Jan. 6th 2021 ‘Rump led Insurrection has been a Fascist Regime takeover of: Constitution, Journalism, Media, Voting Districts, now TARGETED AMERICAN CITIZEN kidnappings for Prison Profits & Concentration Camps via the BIGGEST GOVT. ALLOWED TRANSFER OF WEALTH TO THE 1% IN WORLD HISTORY.
Look at what the MAGA DeSatan leaders in Florida just did in Miami Mayoral Election supposed to happen this fall 2025 - CANCELLED IT VIA SOME BS LOOPHOLE!!
They probably saw the primary win for Mamdani in NYC, they seen all the "Fight Oligarchy" AOC & Bernie rallies & the Red State Town Hall PISSED OFF Americans of all voting backgrounds the past 5 months! Including 2 massive "Hands Off" & "No Kings" MILLIONS OF AMERICANS PROTESTED AT!! We MUST KEEP PUSHING BACK WITH OUR #1 POWER - 349,330,000 AMERICANS that are NOT BILLIONAIRES 24/7/365!!
WE MUST USE OUR POWER OF NATIONAL STRIKES & PROTESTS EVERYDAY VS. THESE MAGA & BILLIONAIRE PRICKS!!
No one should show up for work on Monday and starting today starve out all the big corporations. Buy nothing online. Buy nothing in the stores other than necessities. Put off that new car. Put off that wardrobe upgrade. Put it off now as a statement because when the changes introduced by the bill start to rear its ugly head after the elections (a slow boil where the misinformed "frogs" amongst us will not realize they are doomed until the boiling point) -- but by then you will have nothing anyway. Save your money. Pay down your credit. Stop buying and stop working starting Monday. If when you look in the mirror there is an employed person looking back, make plans to stay home on Monday. In any event both responses are all we have right now. Stop buying and start rolling "no shows" at work. STOP!
Well I agree with the approach, I would amend it to say only buy from local family owned businesses even if you pay more. Because we can’t starve out the good with the bad! Important!
If only. The sad fact is that the vast majority of Americans don't have any savings, to use if they don't go to work. Thanks to corporate influence and the flat "increase" of wages, beginning in the 70s, people are living paycheck to paycheck. And that's exactly where they want us to stay: as wage slaves.
I saw it coming when they changed the rules about IRAs in that if there was anything left when you die your heir(s) had to collect it and get taxed at their tax rate plus be hit with a jump in income; or take it over ten years and with each deposit be taxed at their tax rate and suffer the increase in income and all that brings to a person teetering between low middle class or lower and middle class.
Now if you are a millionaire or billionaire each of your kids under the BBB can inherit up to $300 Million tax free. While here I am at 75 lower middle class who has worked 60 hours per week single parent then around age 67 cut down to 40 hours and now at age 75 my version of “retirement” 32 hours per week and the money in my IRA which is not enough to retire on given my longevity genes is a looming burden to my child when I die.
Plus — God forbid I need nursing home care which perhaps I will be considering longevity is in my genes and despite my being fit and healthy — heck it may happen — there will be no more ‘MEDICAID BEDS’ in those God forsaken nursing homes no one wants to end up at but are grateful they are there when needed.
I predict the new autocracy will be offering not assistive living but assistive dying to my generation and all those who come after.
And no one is speaking of it but the BBB has funded Trump’s J6 army to the extent they have more resources and money (our fucking tax dollars) than the FBI. Trump announced he hates Democrats. He feels nothing believe me. What he did with that statement is declare MAGA as hunter and EVERYONE ELSE as prey! No one is talking about it!!!
It's a concern though that much insidiously doesn't take effect until after the 2026 midterm elections AND after the end of this term of the current drumpf regime. To counter the MAGA messaging is going to be critical -- when they say... "see, there was nothing to see here -- all remains well"... just until, hopefully democrats take back control. And so control will need to be overwhelming to overturn it all (and to overturn Citizens United!).
Which only matters if we have free and fair elections over a year from now. Trust me, they aren't done with their destruction of everything they can lay their hands on.
We did seal our fate. It's done. By voting in this Regime twice America did. We almost died as a nation once and survived. But then we opened the door to do it again and will not survive.
Why do we think we are so special that we get more than one chance to survive what was and is now a blatant taking of our rights and our country to serve big corporations? Today we went from the shadow of what once was a nation for the people and by the people to one that is for the corporation and by the corporation.
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. But much more could have been done by us since November starting when the handwriting was on the wall with the pardoning of the J6er's.
It's been almost a year and only a bit less than 2 percent of us have been living and breathing every moment ENGAGED doing anything we could to push back. I'd love to hear from the 98% clutching their pearls and doom scrolling like this was a Netflix movie and expecting a happy ending.
Boots on the ground and fight locally! I’ve seen many reports of when that happens, on a local level when the people can become engaged, they fight back and it works. But that means those of us who care need to engage on a local level especially neighbors and friends. Do you think that the Revolutionary army quit when they were cold and tired and hungry? Did Washington say oh I can’t cross the Delaware cause it’s kind of daunting? No they went ahead and discomfort and fear with their companions. But they went forward and look what they achieved. We cannot let them down!
Sam, I sure would like to believe this is true. I’m hanging on by a thread mentally and emotionally. I have the stamina to protest and bring it on BUT I am EXTREMELY concerned about the criminal behavior that is going to start taking place to sabotage the midterm elections.
Yep and they won't be able to get musk to help them, like he did with trump, to rig the elections for them. Since his falling out with trump and him still dealing with all the bad karma from helping him in the election, more bad karma is coming for the rest of the gop as well. They can kiss their political careers goodbye for causing all of this trouble. 🤷♀️
We need to fight against all of the Republicans’ anti voting tricks and tactics because we KNOW that Trump meant it when he said (paraphrasing a bit here), “Vote for me. If you vote for me, there’ll never be a reason for you to ever vote again.”
Everytime that felon tries to put one over on the people, even with this bill passed, his enablers (like with musk that helped him cheat the election) always get the worst karma and something always go wrong. Just look at what happened to musk: his tesla stocks plummeted from dealing with trump and they've already had a falling out. Just look at others who've dealt with him in the past and see how they've lost stuff because of him.
He doesn't care about their political careers or anyone else's jobs and livelihood. He only cared about making himself wealthier, trying to rule the country and possibly getting more funds from those billionaires that are trying to get those tax cuts.
This was always going to pass. The extensive media theater around the entire process was simply a clickbait circus. Now, the work of NAILING EVERY ELECT REPUBLICAN HIDE TO THE WALL of medicaid and food cuts, deficit explosion, economic stress, pathetic “tax cuts”, and ICE expansion. Every one of them must be made to wear the garment of shame that you are awarded when you look your constituents in the eye and spit directly into their faces.
Agreed 👍. We need to continue to remind all that the cuts we have warned about, don't take effect immediately. Pictures & names of EVERY REPUBLICAN, from both Senate & House, that was a coward, fearing a Felon that won't be in office that much longer- need to be forefront in any communications.
Make it VERY PERSONAL - pictures of everyone one of the GOP-ers ( and their dear leader’) who brought this on need to be burnished on the brains of the American public as the suffering begins to take shape. In case you aren’t able to see this yet, IT’S A LONG TERM PROJECT.
Lisa Murkowski could have been a hero. Someone said online she missed her John McCain moment. It's too bad, but the rest of the Republicans who voted yes will have to live with the ramifications.
There is no way anyone could predict what happened although the odds may have been in favor. Monday morning everyone claims to be the one who knew what would happen the day before during the game. It holds no water.
What is valuable, however, are the minds amongst us who can forewarn. Valuable but alone in an echo chamber where vacant stares look back unable to comprehend what is being said to them.
Human nature. It will be our demise. And maybe that is a good thing in the end for we failed utterly in our potential to be so much more. Instead, we are a threat to all that is good including the very Earth upon which we live and breed like a virus that will be expelled by nature much like any living organism attacks the germ that encroaches to the point the very life it depends upon is in danger of being destroyed by the virus.
We are a cruel and selfish lot to the point our lower instincts compel us to harm others; to hate others, to grab all that is held by others. That's my offer of seeing into the future. A forewarning if you will.
I want to see them voted out in 2026. Can the International court investigate Trump for crimes against humanity. I am heartsick over these concentration camps.
I used to feel proud to be an American but now I feel ashamed. I hope that the Democrats can regain the Presidency in the future and that one day I will feel proud ti be an American again.
Good letter Jude. Thank you. I join your sentiments. As a Christian I am so deeply, gravelly, grieved that these trumpers are calling themselves Christians when they are not following Christ's teachings of love, forgiveness, compassion, & truth. Instead, they show they don't care for children as ICE takes away their parents & the budget bill takes away food from the vulnerable. The tiny 1% that U.S. Aid cost was stripped away, causing many thousands of baby's deaths already with estimates of more than 14 million additional deaths globally by 2030, including 4.5 million deaths of children younger than 5 years. The hypocrisy of supposed Christians that voted for trump, whose goal was retribution, a known malignant narcissist, rapist, adulterer, felon, prolific liar, incited the insurrection (the damages cost us taxpayers 2.3 billion) & he had 3 Indictments & 78 Felony charges.
When I say "God bless you" to people, I now feel like I need to explain that I'm not a brainwashed trumper right wing Christian. I'm triple sorry people voted for trump because the right wingers have tried to steal our flag, the cross, & our democracy. But we must never stop fighting against all the lies & cruelty of trump & the people that aid & abet him.
I am always astonished when drivers who flip us the bird at protests either have a huge cross hanging from their rear view mirror, or a "forgiven" vanity plate. The level of hypocrisy is mind blowing.
I hope there are real long-term repercussions for the Republicans. Passing this big ugly bill, 218-214. Exports in Fox online are saying that democrats didn't like that bill because it was Donald Trump's, what a f****** joke cost.
At this point, I don't know what to think. Mind you, I'm not negatively affected by this disgusting legislation other than probably having to pay more income taxes than the billionaires. But the idiotic cult assholes who voted for Republican fascists TO DESTROY THEIR MEDICAL INSURANCE will be the ones to suffer. And you know what? I give zero fucks, except maybe for any unfortunate minor children who will suffer because of this shit. If these morons have any say in it, they will reelect the same douches again. Watch.
Having no guardrails on AI technology will effect you, too. People are just looking at maybe the first 5-6 bill items and ignoring the rest. That bill was over 900 pages; just like Project 2025. So, you're sure you won't be affected, eh?
I am. IT was my career. I'm an old fart, too. I just know that crap, as well as many other items in that bill, will hurt us all, ma'am. If you don't know it, you won't be able to avoid it. People are too satisfied knowing a little of that thing. Mark our words!!!
Yup! Enough is enough!! NATIONAL STRIKE NOW!! DAILY MILLIONS PROTESTING!
We can’t even enjoy a few days of some GOOD REAL CHANGE NEWS with the Mamdani win over the WEAK Old Guard Dem AIPAC Establishment & ‘Rump Regime fascism as this FUCKED UP MAGA-SCOTUS WEAKENS THE CONSTITUTION!! EMPOWERS FACISTS ‘RUMP, MILLER, NOAM, HOMAN AND THEIR ICE GESTAPO!!
Our power is our numbers vs. theirs AND our labor vs. their greed & wealth WE HAVE TO USE IT!! NATIONAL STRIKE & DAILY PROTESTS AGAINST THIS ‘RUMP REGIME & MAGA-SCOTUS.
Damn straight! It should have happened already, but it definitely NEEDS to happen NOW. This is the last weapon in the publics’ arsenal, before the situation erupts into a full blown civil war or complete surrender.
I’m not sure there will be any as they’re nefarious enough to push the Medicaid cuts to take effect after the 2026 election so by the time they take effect their compliance will be forgotten….or worse, if the Dems get in power they’ll blame it on them. These are truly the most disgusting people ever to sit in Congress and The White House.
This bill funds I see at the same levels as our Marines. Who created a whole new secret police Gestapo branch for Trump and easy announced going after US citizens and the justice department is launching an attack on naturalized citizens.
This got through the Senate and the house todayand to meet us the worst part of the entire bill as it gives him his own gestapo to terrorize Americans with
They just sealed their fates in 2026
And we need to make sure we have elections. We need to fight with every ounce of strength that we have and make sure the ballots are counted honestly - hand counted if need be.

Unfortunately I think Trump told all Republicans there would be no more elections. That is why they caved. I think he will try to get rid of anyone who opposes him. And unfortunately, I think blood will fall before we can get rid of Trump and his minions.
That’s not why they caved… They’ve been bought off and terrified that their families would get murdered by J Sixers
You think so?! I keep seeing all my Substack follows, all my Pro-Democracy YT Channel subs, all the cable news pundits saying “How can the MAGA Congress be passing a Spending Bill so blatantly destructive to so many Americans but especially to pure Cult MAGA voters in Red States.”

They are voting for themselves. As millionaires they want the tax cut. Fuck the rest of us.
No one should show up for work on Monday and starting today starve out all the big corporations. Buy nothing online. Buy nothing in the stores other than necessities. Put off that new car. Put off that wardrobe upgrade. Put it off now as a statement because when the changes introduced by the bill start to rear its ugly head after the elections (a slow boil where the misinformed "frogs" amongst us will not realize they are doomed until the boiling point) -- but by then you will have nothing anyway.

Well I agree with the approach, I would amend it to say only buy from local family owned businesses even if you pay more. Because we can’t starve out the good with the bad! Important!
I am buying from family owned businesses and Walmart.

No-shows will just be terminated.
And we need the money. But I’m trying not to buy anything but groceries.
Amen Brother!!
I totally agree with you.
They sure did!🤢🤮😡💩💩💩💩💩 Monsters All
VOTE THEM OUT
I certainly hope so.
We can do more than Hope. We can work to make it so.
It's a concern though that much insidiously doesn't take effect until after the 2026 midterm elections AND after the end of this term of the current drumpf regime. To counter the MAGA messaging is going to be critical -- when they say... "see, there was nothing to see here -- all remains well"... just until, hopefully democrats take back control.

Boots on the ground folks! Get the word out wary and often!
Which only matters if we have free and fair elections over a year from now. Trust me, they aren't done with their destruction of everything they can lay their hands on.
They sure did!
I hope you are prophetic. I am working my beads.
We did seal our fate. It's done. By voting in this Regime twice America did. We almost died as a nation once and survived. But then we opened the door to do it again and will not survive.

I so very much hope so!!!!!!’
The Republicans are toasted coming midterms .
IF we fight hard enough to have midterms, and keep defending the vote.
Absolutely, if we keep up the fight. Thanks Clifford!
NJ and VA governors to start us off.
And when do we run the elections for the empty seats in the House?
Yep and they won't be able to get musk to help them, like he did with trump, to rig the elections for them. Since his falling out with trump and him still dealing with all the bad karma from helping him in the election, more bad karma is coming for the rest of the gop as well. They can kiss their political careers goodbye for causing all of this trouble. 🤷♀️
They Will. Just. Cancel. Them. Altogether.
Totally disagree
I don't know I mean just look at what happened to giuliani and others that had dealt with him before. 🤷♀️
I hope none of them are reelected.
We need to fight against all of the Republicans’ anti voting tricks and tactics because we KNOW that Trump meant it when he said (paraphrasing a bit here), “Vote for me. If you vote for me, there’ll never be a reason for you to ever vote again.”
Not a single one of them act like it will happen to them, but it will.
I hope you are right.
Everytime that felon tries to put one over on the people, even with this bill passed, his enablers (like with musk that helped him cheat the election) always get the worst karma and something always go wrong.

The cuts to Medicaid and SNAP won’t happen until after the midterms. We have to keep reminding people of this fact.
The cuts can be ripped to shreds.
Agreed 👍. We need to continue to remind all that the cuts we have warned about, don't take effect immediately. Pictures & names of EVERY REPUBLICAN, from both Senate & House, that was a coward, fearing a Felon that won't be in office that much longer- need to be forefront in any communications.
Do we know this for sure? I also wonder what else was in the bill and if the objections of the parliamentarian were honored for example public lands.
Yes, it has been mentioned on several Substacks including Joyce Vance’s. She is a former federal prosecutor, so I have confidence in her writing.
Make it VERY PERSONAL - pictures of everyone one of the GOP-ers ( and their dear leader’) who brought this on need to be burnished on the brains of the American public as the suffering begins to take shape. In case you aren’t able to see this yet, IT’S A LONG TERM PROJECT.
It's unfortunate that with all of the Repubs: not one had enough Cohones to make a stand for humanity, all driven by the greed!
To Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins - We won't be fooled again.
Never ever
Lisa Murkowski could have been a hero. Someone said online she missed her John McCain moment. It's too bad, but the rest of the Republicans who voted yes will have to live with the ramifications.
There is no way anyone could predict what happened although the odds may have been in favor. Monday morning everyone claims to be the one who knew what would happen the day before during the game. It holds no water.
What is valuable, however, are the minds amongst us who can forewarn. Valuable but alone in an echo chamber where vacant stares look back unable to comprehend what is being said to them.
Human nature. It will be our demise. And maybe that is a good thing in the end for we failed utterly in our potential to be so much more. Instead, we are a threat to all that is good including the very Earth upon which we live and breed like a virus that will be expelled by nature much like any living organism attacks the germ that encroaches to the point the very life it depends upon is in danger of being destroyed by the virus.
We are a cruel and selfish lot to the point our lower instincts compel us to harm others; to hate others, to grab all that is held by others. That's my offer of seeing into the future. A forewarning if you will.
I want to see them voted out in 2026. Can the International court investigate Trump for crimes against humanity. I am heartsick over these concentration camps.
No. The ICC won’t do doot. Look what happened with Netanyahu..
If that is possible, trump will find someone to stop the process.
Roger that!! Thug!!!
I used to feel proud to be an American but now I feel ashamed. I hope that the Democrats can regain the Presidency in the future and that one day I will feel proud ti be an American again.
I can't sing the National Anthem anymore. They've turned it into a lie.
But the “bombs bursting in air” line is _____________.
The Democrats are the only alternative now, but they are corrupt (bought and paid for) by the millionaires just like the GOP. A new party is needed.
Elon Musk said he would create a new party if this bill passed. Now we wait and see if he meant what he said.
Not a trustworthy choice. It would be nice if someone would solve for us, but he is not reliable. Must be someone grassroots to lead
Hopefully we will have a bloodbath of Republicans getting voted out of office in '26.
Me too.
Let’s work so more seats are lost than ever before!!!!
Onward and upwards through the jello-we got this 💪🏻💪🏻
Yes Claire!
Thanks Scott🤗🤗🤗🤗
Because of you I have hope 🤩🤩
Your posts bring me joy and I feel better and feel we can do this!!!!
The problem is there has been a lot of gerrymandering since 2018. Hopefully we can still get a good turnout.
Just sent this to my "christian" rep, Juan CiscoMAGA:
"Our healthcare system may never recover from what YOU HAVE JUST DONE.
Children won’t have enough to eat.
Hundreds of thousands of people will lose their jobs.
The ICE raids that are destroying our communities will also devastate our economy.
I want YOU to know that I’m going to dedicate every resource at my disposal to making sure you lose your seat over this vote next year.
YOU should stop saying you're a "christian" right now. This is the most un-Christlike bill you could design.
Shame.
Shame.
Shame.
May karma find your every day filled with the laments of children going hungry and people dying."
Good letter Jude. Thank you. I join your sentiments. As a Christian I am so deeply, gravelly, grieved that these trumpers are calling themselves Christians when they are not following Christ's teachings of love, forgiveness, compassion, & truth.

And Jesus wept.
I hope there are real long-term repercussions for the Republicans. Passing this big ugly bill, 218-214. Exports in Fox online are saying that democrats didn't like that bill because it was Donald Trump's, what a f****** joke cost.
We must keep fighting publicy to expose how cruel the republicans are. Get the word out around the country.
The people who benefit with knowing don't outnumber the idiots in Lala land.
At this point, I don't know what to think. Mind you, I'm not negatively affected by this disgusting legislation other than probably having to pay more income taxes than the billionaires. But the idiotic cult assholes who voted for Republican fascists TO DESTROY THEIR MEDICAL INSURANCE will be the ones to suffer. And you know what? I give zero fucks, except maybe for any unfortunate minor children who will suffer because of this shit. If these morons have any say in it, they will reelect the same douches again. Watch.
the u-turn this bill makes on fighting climate change, will negatively affect us all and worse still our progeny
I feel bad for the minor children of MAGA. They had no say in this abomination. They will be hurt by their own parent's actions.
It's not just "those people," MAGA. It's you and your loved ones. You are "those people."
Including some jerks in my neighborhood!
And mine. In Massachusetts no less, where health care insurance is frigging mandatory and the population's health and well being reflects it.
And mine. Business as usual!!🤬
Having no guardrails on AI technology will effect you, too. People are just looking at maybe the first 5-6 bill items and ignoring the rest. That bill was over 900 pages; just like Project 2025. So, you're sure you won't be affected, eh?
I'm not computer savvy enough to know what that will do. I do not use optional
AI now and am too damn old to understand it. I will just stay away from that crap as best as I can.
I am. IT was my career. I'm an old fart, too. I just know that crap, as well as many other items in that bill, will hurt us all, ma'am. If you don't know it, you won't be able to avoid it. People are too satisfied knowing a little of that thing. Mark our words!!!
I don't want to live to see that.

Thanks for sharing this Jean
I’m not sure there will be any as they’re nefarious enough to push the Medicaid cuts to take effect after the 2026 election so by the time they take effect their compliance will be forgotten….or worse, if the Dems get in power they’ll blame it on them. These are truly the most disgusting people ever to sit in Congress and The White House.
This bill funds I see at the same levels as our Marines. Who created a whole new secret police Gestapo branch for Trump and easy announced going after US citizens and the justice department is launching an attack on naturalized citizens.
This got through the Senate and the house todayand to meet us the worst part of the entire bill as it gives him his own gestapo to terrorize Americans with
