Evening/afternoon all. Sat down with the great Stuart Stevens of Lincoln Square earlier today to talk about the big, ugly bill and why we need to do everything we can to stop it this week. It’s a meaty and timely discussion, and builds off this morning’s Hopium post, America Is Not Winning Under Trump, We Are Losing.
As I wrote to you on Sunday:
this terrible, terrible bill is going to do direct, material harm to the country - our health care system is going to be weakened, close to 100m people will be paying more for health care or lose their insurance, tens of millions will struggle to eat, our existential transition to a clean energy future undermined, an unprecedented domestic political police force will be established, the fiscal integrity of the United States will be in jeopardy due to the explosion in our deficit and debt, and of course the wealthy and privileged will get their tax cuts. It is a Trumpian monstrosity, an orgy of plutocratic “let them eat cake” greed, another step forward in their fanatical, wrecking ball agenda of sabotage, plunder, and betrayal.
