It’s big. But it isn’t beautiful.

Some other Senate Republicans might infamously call it the "Well, we all are going to die" bill.

Danielle,

What do you call a bill that would rip health care away from millions of Americans?

And slash programs that help people pay for their groceries?

And cancel clean energy programs?

And jack up utility bills?

And rub salt in the wounds of every struggling family by using those cuts to pay for massive tax breaks for the richest men in the world?

And represent the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in American history — with our nation's biggest-ever cuts to health care and food assistance?

If you're Donald Trump and House Republicans, you call it the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." That's the official name of the legislation — not just their nickname for it.

Some other Senate Republicans might infamously call it the "Well, we all are going to die" bill.

But instead of repeating Trump's branding (he sure does love to brand things, from "Trump Water" to "Trump Steaks"), I've been calling it Trump's Big Ugly Bill, because that's what it is.

I want to know what you think: what's a more accurate name for Trump's budget plan instead of the "Big Beautiful Bill"? Do you have a catchy go-to when you've been calling out its harms to your friends and family? Click here to add your alternative, or just reply to this email to let me know.

The Big Ugly Bill's mission fits on a bumper sticker: "Billionaires win. Families lose."

And even though House Republicans are eager to call it beautiful, it looks to me like they are pretty embarrassed about the legislation. They scheduled their first vote on the bill at 10 o'clock on a Sunday night, and their next vote at 1 a.m. on a Wednesday. The bill finally squeaked through the House at 6 in the morning.

But Danielle, even if they try to keep moving under the cover of darkness, we are going to make them own this deeply cruel piece of legislation.

We won't let them dodge accountability — even if they hide from town halls, they'll still have to face voters at the ballot box.

And we will make it clear that the Republican Party under Donald Trump is trying to crush working families to reward the most ultra-rich of the ultra-rich.

Here's the way I see it: no baby should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

No person with a disability who needs a wheelchair or a home health aide to live independently should have to give that up so that Jeff Bezos can buy a third yacht.

No grandma should be pushed out of her nursing home so that some billionaire hedge fund manager can throw another $3 million wedding.

No one in America should go without health care so that Elon Musk can take a rocket ship ride to Mars.

I'm fighting to keep these outrages from happening — and I'm grateful to fight by your side.

If you're ready to make sure Republicans can't re-brand their way out of accountability, share a new name for their plan — and let's make sure every person across the country knows just exactly what this plan is.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth

It seems that every Congressional Republican has had their spine removed.

We've done this before.

Danielle,

It feels like ancient history now, but when he was running for president last year, Donald Trump promised over and over that he would lower costs "on Day 1."

After he was elected and an interviewer pointed out that his policies would drive up costs, Trump said he "couldn't care less."

And now, it's Day 135 and costs are up. People are paying more for gasoline. More for housing. More for groceries. More for eggs. More for baby strollers -- or as Donald Trump calls it, "the thing you carry the babies around in."

So what are Trump and the Republicans doing about that? Working on ways to make costs even higher.

His rather Big and Ugly Bill will rip health care away from 14 million people. It will slash programs that help people pay for their groceries. It will cancel clean energy programs.

And instead of standing up and saying what Trump is doing is wrong, Republicans in Congress are suffering a major medical emergency. It seems that every one of them has had their spine removed. Evidently, the only movement that Congressional Republicans can now perform is to bow low, to kiss the Earth beneath the feet of Donald Trump.

Our fight to make our government work for everyone — not billionaires — is going to be tested. This is a moment to throw everything we've got into this fight. And that's what I'm going to do. If, and only if, you're able, please pitch in $100 or anything you can to support our campaign that fights for working families.

This is a critical moment in our country. This is the moment that Democrats have the chance to show the American people who we are and what we will fight for — and to throw everything we've got into stopping this plan from passing. And I'm going to fight hard for this.

And every single Republican who will vote to raise costs for families to finance tax giveaways for billionaires must be held accountable at the ballot box — and that work starts now.

We've done this before. Back in 2017, Donald Trump and the Republicans tried to rip health care away from Americans. John McCain famously voted no at the last second, and we saved health care for millions of Americans. That was a huge victory, but there was more. The energy from that fight helped build a massive blue wave in the midterms that put Democrats back in control of the House and set us up to beat Trump and the Republicans in 2020.

We have that same opportunity today.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is not law. Not yet. It still has to go through the Senate, and it may have to go back through the House again. So now is the time to raise hell.

If, and only if, you're able, please pitch in $100 or anything you can to power our fight for working people in the Senate.

Good riddance.

I'm not letting him off the hook.

Good riddance, Elon Musk.

This week the richest man in the world's status as a Special Government Employee came to an end. But let's be clear: he isn't off the hook for his chaos and corruption.

We must hold him accountable.

Elon Musk's brief but destructive rampage through our federal government has caused — and will continue to cause — real pain and chaos for millions of Americans.

Despite his department's silly name, he made our government much less efficient — like by firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers and dedicated civil servants and making others send weekly emails to him about what they're up to. Or cutting Social Security resources and creating longer wait times, backlogged cases, and months of longer waiting times for benefits. Or cruelly halting humanitarian aid efforts in real-time — costing lives.

Estimates have shown that his mass firings will actually cost the US government upwards of $135 billion this fiscal year because of all the rehirings, paid administrative leave, and lost productivity.

While he was operating under the veil of "rooting out waste" in our government, he was cutting funding for cancer research, veterans programs, and aid for American farmers, all while making $8 million a day from government contracts.

And while he said he was "eliminating fraud" he and his band of 22-year-old programmers were gaining access to the private financial information of millions of Americans.

Again, we're not letting him off the hook. That's why I'm calling for an investigation into conflicts of interest at DOGE. I'm pressing for the Justice Department to look into whether DOGE minions potentially violated criminal conflicts of interest or violated federal ethics rules at the Treasury Department, the CFPB, and the IRS.

DOGE is still operating under leaders with clear conflicts of interest: Like holding stock in companies that are subject to investigation by the CFPB, or owning shares of Intuit, the parent company of TurboTax, while also working to end the IRS' free Direct File program.

The American people deserve accountability. Neither Elon Musk or those working on his behalf in DOGE are above the law, and I'm going to stay on it.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth

This is sickening

This will be the greatest transfer of wealth from the poor to the billionaires in all of US History.

I am really, really angry, Danielle.

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are out there popping bottles of champagne that cost more than someone's monthly rent because of what Republicans just did.

In the dead of night, Republicans in the House just passed Trump's "big, beautiful" spending plan.

If this gets signed into law, this will be the greatest transfer of wealth from the poor to the billionaires in all of US History.

They essentially just spent this past week debating whether 14 million people should lose their health care, or if 20 million people should lose their health care. Whether 10 million babies should go hungry, or 5 million babies should be hungry.

All so the government can hand that money over to billionaires through tax giveaways.

Billionaires like Elon Musk, who had his net worth grow $186 billion in the last year and is on track to become the world's first trillionaire. He and his peers in the "Top 10 Richest Americans Club" together became $365 billion richer in the past year. That's a billion a day.

That's who this bill is for. That's who has the most to gain from this legislation. That's what they are getting for bending the knee to Trump. It's sick.

It will raise prices for everyone who Trump promised he would lower costs for. Workers who made an annual average of $50,000 in 2023.

So, what's next? We need to do everything in our power to stop this from passing the Senate.

This isn't a done deal yet.

The last time we came together when Trump tried to repeal health care, we stopped him. Americans told their stories and raised their voices — with disabled activists literally putting their bodies on the line in the halls of Congress.

It mattered.

Even though the Republican House voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, even though they popped over to celebrate on the White House lawn, even though they may have thought they had it in the bag, we kept fighting back, and we defeated them.

I know we can do this. We have to.

Don't let anyone tell you it won't make a difference to speak out.

I'll be in touch on the ways we can fight back on this.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
