it is telling that President Trump and his cult followers have chosen to name their bill after its size and looks instead of its contents and values. They don't want anybody looking inside this monstrosity. There is nothing beautiful or big about stripping 14 million Americans of their healthcare or removing food security from 11 million people, including 4 million kids. That is ugly. That is small. I know Donald Trump has increased his net worth by more than $3 billion since taking office from his global crypto scam and that yesterday he brought home a $400 million jumbo jet from the monarch dictator of Qatar, a flying constitutional violation packed with threats of espionage and surveillance. There is nothing big or beautiful about plundering the wealth of the people of America to give to the people who have already profited from Donald Trump's prior schemes. Let's vote this whole monstrosity down.
