"The “One Big Beautiful Bill” would grind our economy to a halt by stealing 830,000 jobs by 2030, costing America more than $1 trillion in GDP by 2034, and increasing power prices 50% by 2035."

Representative Angie Craig (MN): “I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."

Jeffries: "#Trump promised to veto any #bill that actually would take away benefits from the #American people. If that in fact is the case, is he planning on saying to House Republicans tomorrow morning that he's actually going to #veto the bill? Or was he once again lying?"

Suozzi: Does this tax bill continue the payroll #tax on tips?

Barthold: Yes it does

Suozzi: Does this #bill continue the payroll tax on overtime?

Barthold: It does not exempt overtime from payroll tax

Souzzi: Does this bill remove taxes on #SocialSecurity benefits?

Barthold: …

People in Idaho, Florida, Minnesota, Kentucky:

Idaho lawmakers are considering Senate Bill 1036, known as the Doug Cameron Act, which seeks a 10-year pause on “gene therapy immunizations to ensure the safety and well-being of all Idahoans.”
The bill, named after an Idaho rancher who claims he became paralyzed in 2021 after taking the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, also seeks to ban RNA-based immunizations.

People in Florida:
Your state surgeon general is trying to push to get a ban on mRNA vaccines although no law yet introduced.

Minnesota: you have a bill introduced to ban mRNA vaccines as well by defining mRNA vaccines as bioweapons if I am reading this shit right? HF 3219 https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php?number=HF3219&type=bill&version=0&session_year=2025&session_number=0

Kentucky: A bill (HB 469) in the Kentucky House of Representatives would ban until July 1, 2035, the administration of "any human gene therapy product for any infectious disease indication, regardless of whether the administration is termed an immunization, vaccine, or any other term."

A longtime Democratic-aligned donor, #Bill #Ackman
publicly backed Donald Trump and the Republican Party in the 2024 election cycle.

Ackman donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican-aligned PACs in the general election

after backing Dean Phillips in the Democratic primary,
both Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy in the Republican primary,
and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s run as an independent. 

In a characteristically long-winded tweet from October 2024,
Ackman gave 33 individual “actions” that Democrats made him decide to support Trump over Kamala Harris.

Three of them (actions 13, 26, and 27) were about Ackman’s personal skepticism of #vaccines.

Light show pioneer Bill Ham left us on Jan 19, 2024 at the age of 92.

He passed away peacefully...

Bill Ham is THE guy, who helped start the psychedelic liquid light show movement in the United States, from which modern concert lighting as we know it developed.
-- His contribution is profound.

Bill Ham was a formerly trained painter living in San Fransisco,
who began working with liquid projection on overhead projectors in the early 1960s.

He was landlord to #Elias #Romero, who is considered the first person to use liquids, and was influenced by his work.

Those figures, along with #Tony #Martin helped pioneer the work we do today….

#Bill #Ham was the first to work with rock and roll bands, and was integral to the west coast psychedelic scene which was developing at this time.

He is the first psychedelic rock and roll light show, working with groups like the @gratefuldead, Big Brother and the Holding Company / @janisjoplin and Charlatans at legendary venues like the Avalon Ballroom.

His name is on countless concert posters from this time.

Bill Ham would also form a music and light show group known as Light Sound Dimension,
aka LSD,
which toured in Europe...
I've several people use this abbreviation in projects, but Bill did it first.

The House Ethics Committee plans to
release an investigative report into the conduct of former Representative #Matt #Gaetz of Florida, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
Mr. Gaetz had resigned from the House after Donald Trump named him as his pick for attorney general,
but Mr. Gaetz ended his candidacy after the weight of allegations of sex trafficking and drug use made it clear he would not be confirmed by the Senate.
He consistently denied the allegations.

#Robert F. #Kennedy Jr., Mr. Trump’s selection for health secretary, is expected back on Capitol Hill on Wednesday for more meetings with Republican senators.
His audiences so far have been friendly lawmakers but he may find a more skeptical greeting soon:
He is expected to meet with Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska who has said she wants to question him on his anti-vaccine advocacy.

Speaker Mike Johnson is defending the 1,500-page #stopgap #spending #bill unveiled on Tuesday.
It started as a simple measure to avert a government shutdown until mid-March
but became a magnet for more than $100 billion in emergency disaster and farm aid,
plus unrelated policy measures.
An array of House Republicans are unhappy with it.
Mr. Johnson went on “Fox and Friends” on Wednesday to defend the bill, saying his thin margin in the House and Democratic control of the Senate and White House meant
“any bill has to have Democrat votes.”
