I’ve just read through this. Thank you Ellie.

It’s great how easy your summaries make it to get a frame of reference and the key areas affected and how.

I would now like to identify those places in the bill where limits on the judiciary, the stuff enabling that citizens’ tax and social security data are provided access to, and big data analysis with AI is facilitated.

We need to shine a bright light on the things that will most enable an autocratic rule by the executive branch.

This has to be stopped.

Yeah.

And I’m much less worried about all the messing with taxes and so on atm.

We have to kill these things that enable them to use the fascistz rule book to seize control of the state.

I know this sounds alarmist, but it’s not even tea leaves we’re trying to read here.

It’s very straightforward I think

We face the Big Beautiful Bill in Congress. We need to let each of our representatives and senators know we oppose a vote for this bill (in any of its forms with the 2017 tax cut). Let them know that you will not ever get over it if they vote for the bill.

I’ll compile all the sections at the end so everyone has a copy of the simplified version of the entire thing. I hope it helps make things easier to understand

I know, I know - but it seems like we should not accept the false label of the bill's name without a comment about it. Thank you for providing a well written summary of major areas of the bill.

I only post it as what they call it for searchability, so people can look it up and understand it in a more simplified level. But otherwise, yes, it’s a shit show.

Of course we are okay ✅. Let me tell you a true story about my boyfriend of twenty five years. When his mother went to the nursing home 🏡, of course being the gentle, kind son he was, he fed his mother. Until the day , she passed at ninety nine. After her burial. He received a bill for expenses of 43 thousand dollars. Talk about death and taxes according to Benjamin Franklin . Sounds like a person must pay to even die on American 🇺🇸 soil. That is a sad fact.
