    In the last 48 hours, congressional Republicans have done so much damage to Americans. Here are the 5 truly harmful things they passed. 📽️🧵👇🏼

  2. #2

    They passed a resolution to bring a $4.5 trillion budget to the floor. Their budget: ➡️ Adds trillions to the debt ➡️ Cuts nearly $1 trillion in healthcare ➡️ Spends trillions on tax giveaways to Elon Musk and the uber-wealthy

  3. #3

    They passed the SAVE Act that will make it harder for millions of Americans to vote – like our military members, married women, and rural voters. For example, if your driver’s license doesn’t match your birth certificate, like many married women, it could block you from voting altogether.

  4. #4

    In the middle of all the chaos around the tariffs and the market crashing, they passed a bill with language preventing ANY attempt by Congress to revoke the emergency powers that Trump is using to enact these tariffs.

  5. #5

    They passed a bill that undermines federal judges and limits their rulings to their local jurisdiction. These are federal judges ruling on federal matters. As far as I can remember, no one has messed with judges. I think the majority of Americans will find it appalling that federal judges are being attacked like this.

  6. #6

    This is one of the cruelest things. They passed a bill that would actually increase overdraft fees. Intentionally. So on your worst day, you overdraw your account to pay your bills and you’re hit with a high fee.

  7. #7

    They got rid of the cap on overdraft fees for the same reason they passed their budget – so people at the top could make more money.

  8. #8

    These bills passed in the last 48 hours are so detrimental to hard-working people who are just trying to get by. They’re making it harder to vote. They’re making people pay more. They’re messing with the economy. Terrible. All of it.

  9. #9

    Public opinion is shifting and it’s the only way to stop this. We just need a few Republicans to join us. Keep up the pressure. 🙏🏼💙
