The One Big Beautiful Bill was just signed into law. They say it’s sweeping, bold, visionary. They’re right — but not in the way they want you to think. Here’s what’s actually inside — and why it’s a betrayal of working families. 🧵

This election cycle didn't go how I wanted in many ways. I have much I'm grieving. But also much to be grateful for. Top of that list is the chance to work side-by-side with my fearless, creative friends Doug Pagitt @jonesforar.bsky.social. It is a profound honor to be on their teams.
Your tax dollars are going to pay for some rich kids to become equestrians. Outrageous and unacceptable!

Trump has flooded the zone with batshit nominees. Gaetz going down is great. But there are so many others to stop. Senate Republicans don't have the balls to do what is right, I'm sure.
On Saturday, I was in a gas station in Fayetteville. A group of middle aged white men were in line in front of me. One loudly and sarcastically said to another, “I'm homo for you.” They all laughed. And then one said, “We’re allowed to say that kind of stuff again.” And that's where we are.
I'm still recovering from the whiplash of the election. One day, I was having conversations about how our team created and distributed the most viral ad of the whole cycle. The next, I was watching TFG win again. It all - all of it - still feels so unbelievable.
