Friend,

Donald Trump and his boss Elon Musk have spent the last 34 days “streamlining” the government.

As predicted, what has resulted from two of the weirdest guys ever to exist “streamlining” a government system that has thrived for about 250 years is complete chaos.

They’ve blown up entire agencies, fired thousands of essential workers, sent dozens of mixed signals, and generally taken a flame thrower to the federal government. Now, they want to take the next big, beautiful step: screwing with our budget.

Look, there’s probably nobody more trustworthy than the idiot real estate “mogul” who’s gone bankrupt like 100 times and the billionaire whose stock price is down about 24% over the last month, but the people deserve to know a little bit more than what they’re telling us.

Trump and Elon’s “big, beautiful” spending bill can be summarized in one word: cuts.

And where are these big, beautiful cuts coming from? Take a look:

From Medicaid: The program that provides healthcare to over 72 million Americans is likely to be the largest target for cuts. We’re talking nearly a trillion dollars cut out of the budget. This ought to make Trump and Elon appreciate their private doctors more.

From education: There’s nothing this administration likes to do more than attack people on a tight budget. So, of course Trump and Elon are targeting college kids with student loans! Those loans that were forgiven under President Biden would now have to be paid in full. Which seems… unfair? It’s not like Trump pays his taxes. Or the woman he raped in the dressing room. Not only that, the bill suggests going after cafeteria lunches for low income kids. Over $330 billion is expected to be cut out of the education budget. You’d think somebody with a son like Eric Trump would want America’s kids to be better educated.

From agriculture: The plan here is to drastically cut SNAP Benefits. You know, the program that helps feed people who can’t afford food. We will say we saw this one coming after Trump and Elon basically raised grocery prices on purpose. At least $230 billion in cuts to SNAP are on the table.

We know what you’re thinking. Trump and Elon still have to find trillions elsewhere if they really want to do all of the unnecessary crap they want to do. But don’t worry, they’re also proposing $4 trillion in tax cuts. And who’s going to benefit from these cuts more than anybody else in the country? Trump himself, Musk, Bezos, Zuck, Murdoch, and every other billionaire who licks the hell out of Trump’s boots. Ah yes, he clearly ran for all of those morons in red hats. Some of whom don’t even have a job anymore.

This bill is just another MAGA move that the media is neglecting to talk about. Instead of every anchor calling it the “big, beautiful bill” because they think Trump’s so clever, why not call this what it is: A bill designed to help Trump and screw over the rest of us. If more people knew that, maybe this bill wouldn’t go through. Maybe a better plan would be put together. Maybe Republicans would actually do what’s best for their constituents for once.

That’s the goal. We can’t just give Trump everything he wants. We have to get loud. We have to fight. We have to pressure our elected officials to do the right thing. Help us make sure they get the message >>
