Otherwise known as the bullshit bribes for billionaires bill

Here’s just some of what you may have missed in the 1,000 page mega bill:¹

More funding for Trump’s mass deportation operation, including spending $46.5 billion on Trump’s border wall
A splurge of $150 billion in additional spending for our already bloated Defense budget including Trump’s “Golden Dome,” which experts have called “a dangerous fantasy”²
Changes to student loan repayment plans so that students pay more and qualify for less aid³
Higher prescription costs for seniors under Medicare
Cuts in funding for Planned Parenthood and a ban on Medicaid from covering transition care
And more drilling and mining on public lands.

But wait, there’s more:

Hidden deep in the budget is a provision that would restrict federal courts’ authority to hold government officials in contempt if they violate judicial orders.
This bill also includes a ten-year ban on regulating artificial intelligence, including restricting states from passing laws to prevent AI from misleading the public with election misinformation.⁴
And it gives the Trump admin the ability to define any nonprofit they don’t like as a “terrorist-supporting organization” and ending their tax status — a major threat against freedom of speech.⁵
