From twitter we learn The Big Beautiful Bill which is moving through congress does the following, in addition to taking healthcare away from 14 million people. It's way more than a budget bill, it's an end to the world as we know it bill.
- Closure of the U.S. Department of Education
- 25% expansion of logging in national forests, bypassing environmental reviews and fast-tracking timber production
- Rollbacks on clean energy incentives, cutting tax credits for EVs and renewables, gutting key climate provisions
- More public lands opened up for drilling, mining, and logging, with royalty breaks for fossil fuel companies
- Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, ending U.S. participation in global climate efforts
- Executive Order 14215, forcing independent federal agencies to follow White House legal interpretations and centralizing authority under the presidency
- Pension changes for federal workers hired before 2014, cutting take-home pay by raising required contributions, reducing future payouts, and eliminating early retirement supplements
- REINS Act-style regulation repeal, where major federal rules expire unless Congress re-approves them every 5 years allowing Trump to quietly erase protections without rewriting laws
- Expanded executive control over agency budgets, allowing the White House to move federal funds internally without explicit congressional approval
- Restoration of impoundment powers, giving Trump the ability to block or delay spending already passed by Congress reviving powers stripped after Watergate
- Creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), placing White House–aligned teams inside every federal agency with access to internal systems and influence over hiring and daily operations
- Sharp cuts in regulatory enforcement, with agencies like the EPA, CFPB, and Labor and Transportation Departments halting enforcement of key safety, environmental, and anti-discrimination rules
- Trump’s personal control over economic policy, strengthening his power to direct tariffs, pressure private companies, and dictate pricing with little resistance treating the U.S. economy like his own business

Excellent summary. We must stay strong and do all we can to resist.
