So they finally did it. The MAGAt party passed a complete piece of shit bill that screws America, now (Medicaid, taxes ) and in the future (debt, research, renewable energy) …because Il Duce demanded it and threatened the cowards and quislings of his party if they didn’t.

For Independence Day, my ‘dogs for democracy’ will stand with me on a street corner in protest against a tyrant who is trashing the constitution and rule of law, enabled by the very worst of America: MAGA deplorables and greedy tycoons. There is nothing to celebrate.

Here is what tax cuts have done to wealth distribution:

“From 1981 to 2021, tax cuts moved more than $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1%, and Penn Wharton projects the top 10% of households will receive about 80% of the total value of this [Big Beautiful Bill] law, too. Those in the top 20% of earners can expect to see nearly $13,000 a year from the bill, while those in the bottom 20% of households will lose about $885 in 2030 as the pieces of the law take effect.*

The bill funds more Trump goons: masked, muscled white guys taking people off the streets. And it funds gulags and detention camps …oh yes, and the wall Mexico is going to pay for:

$170.7 billion into immigration enforcement—more than the military budgets of all but fifteen countries. The law provides $51.6 billion to build a wall on the border, more than three times what Trump spent on the wall in his first term. It provides $45 billion for detention facilities for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an increase of 265% in ICE’s annual detention budget. It provides $29.9 billion for ICE enforcement, a threefold increase in ICE’s annual budget.*

Here is what the MegaF**k Bill does to climate initiatives:

“It stomps out incentives for purchasing electric vehicles and efficient appliances. It phases out tax credits for wind and solar energy. It opens up federal land and water for oil and gas drilling and increases its profitability, while creating new federal support for coal. It ends the historic investment in poor and minority communities that bear a disproportionate pollution burden—money that the Trump administration was already refusing to spend. It wipes out any spending on greening the federal government.”*

Yeah, right, spineless wonders …Trump’s gonna fix it and Mexico is going to pay for the wall. What poor excuses for Americans. You sold America out. Our fathers (my dad) fought in WW II to defend our freedoms. They would be disgusted. Veterans of all wars died for sacred principles –for the promise and idea of America. Immigrants risked their lives to get her for 200 years and built a country we were once justly proud of. MAGA voters and their representatives disgrace the spirit and ideas of the Declaration of Independence this Fourth of July: they actually support and enable a would-be tyrant King.

I am sickened by the sight and smell of MAGAt trash.
