This “MAGA” bill masquerading under the guise of the Republican Party is so un-American at the very core that it’s almost surreal! How in such a short timeframe could the Republican Party, the Party of Lincoln become the most white nationalist party ever. NO, NOT IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME BUT IN A SLOW, SHADOWY WAY THESE PEOPLE EMERGED FROM THEIR HIDING PLACES TO BEGIN THEIR TAKEOVER OF THIS COUNTRY. THEY ARE BLATANTLY MOVING TO DISMANTLE ANY HINT OF THE EFFORTS OUR COUNTRY HAS MADE SINCE AFTER THE CIVIL WAR BUT MORE SINCE THE PASSAGE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT UNDER PRESIDENT L.B.JOHNSON. RACISM NEVER EVER WENT AWAY IT JUST WENT INTO THE CLOSET (even after homosexuality was let out under the very same law). These people will always be around until they have a fundamental change of heart…as if that will ever happen. No, now they are emboldened and imbedded within the country and the good of our country as well as others.

I’m almost ashamed to be an American. I’m sure in the eyes of sane nations we get lumped together and they say what happened to America? The BEACON OF SHINING LIGHT ON THE HILL has been dimmed.

Great article (egregious misspelling in headline- let's not be like them. It's "affect", not "effect." Apparently trimming "waster and fraud" by drastically cutting important services to put the money in the hands of the wealthy. How can his cult not see this, as they laud these cuts? Money will never end up in their pockets or improve their lives in any way.

Thank you for listing the cuts in an organized, understandable format. I will be sharing this. Could you also let us know what date the senate will be voting? I live in a blue state, but will say something and at least make some noise.
