Corporations that publicly endorsed Trump's megabill. These are not companies that supported the bill by donating to the politicians that voted for it (although most did that too). These are companies that endorsed the bill publicly and were featured on a White House webpage. People should know the companies that made this choice.

This is the saddest July 4 in my memory. The United States is plunging into vile right-wing dictatorship, in large part because once-vital institutions -- including Big Journalism -- have chosen to be quislings when courage was needed.

It's not too late to reverse our decline, but it's close.

It isn't too late, you can always vote to return to the fold and rejoin under the British Crown. Then you'll just have #Neoliberal-scum lite, instead of the full fat version you have over there.

Eventually, they'll know that Trump, Johnson... just lied continually about the #Medicaid cuts...” They’ll watch as red states build more versions of FL’s #AlligatorAlcatraz with the $Bs in this bill for the IMM #detention system *most already disapprove of. They’ll see vets lose their food stamp benefits, %rates go⬆️bc of the $Ts the bill adds to the debt.

What kind of ppl want to close rural hospitals, vets..?
Voters will feel the #austerity, soon.

I heard Johnson say: the average American will be better off by $10,000❗

Jun 24: the WH wrote that if the #BBB passes, "hardworking Americans & families will see an average increase in take-home pay of >$10,000/yr."

Mostly False: during the 1st 4 yrs after the bill’s passage, take-home pay for a fam of 4 would rise by a minimal of $7,600 to a max of $10,900/yr...
🚨In the 10th year after the bill’s passage -projected incomes would rise by $5,503 to $9,070.
