Find someone good at making timelines, map out those cuts that drift into place in 2026 & 2027. They will try to blame the democrats after the 2026 election. Tie that timeline to this bill to link the responsibility.
They made some of the changes to come after midterms so people would say “they were exaggerating how bad it will be,” so they could assure Republicans voting for it wouldn’t cause them any problems.
They did it so people would still vote for them in '26. We have to keep getting the word out that this is happening because of yesterday's vote. Too many people have short memories. Also, after the midterms, when the Dems win, they will then blame the Democrats for any further implementation of the Big BS Bill.
That’s my understanding of it also. When I owned a restaurant, even my part time servers made way more than that. So this doesn’t come close to “no tax on tips”
The no taxes on tips is a joke! Tips paid in cash are not reported anyway and paid by card expire in two years while the wealthy permanently get to keep theirs. We will never get out of debt because what we will take in will never cover it. Gilded Age Part Two!.
please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe that big Corps. that give out large bonuses, those bonuses are also considered as, "No Taxed Tips"...in addition the, no tax on tips, for the hospitality industry is only temporary (3 years) and the "No Tax on Tips" for people working for large mega rich Corp. is permanent ? ...if this is true, it looks like another side hustle scam by the GOP scum raping 99% of the working people in the country .
Bonuses are taxable supplemental income -- been retired for six years as owner/accountant of a small biz and bonuses were included in taxable income.
"Percentage Method: Withhold a flat 22% rate for bonuses up to $1 million. For amounts over $1 million, the first $1 million is subject to 22% withholding, and the excess is withheld at 37%. Still if you bonus is over a million do you care about the additional 15%. But always best to check with your accountant.
I’m starting to make a draft of one tonight. Nationwide Medicaid work requirements go into effect Jan 1, 2027, right after the midterms. I want to help, and this is how I will start.
Kelly, I would love to see everything in this bill, what it does, who it affects and when it goes into effect. Laid out in a timeline is brilliant. I look forward to seeing your hard work on it. Thank you.
They started lying before the vote was taken today. Minority Leader HakeemJeffries completed his speech beating the longest held time in the house set by Speaker Kevin McCarthy. This Independent Boomer watched 80% on CSPAN after a friend made me aware. Voting was to occur after the Minority Leader had completed. A GOP Representative from Missouri rose to speak with lies. No longer slight misinformation it’s look into the camera & LIE. It’s going to take each of us becoming Information Warriors speaking facts 24/7 recognizing many folks won’t listen. Go Team
Not surprised the GOP representative was from Missouri, it was probably Ann Wagner. We have the worst of the worst here, Hawley and Schmidt are two of the most ignorant senators.
Yes, Republicans considered delaying some Medicaid cuts to mitigate political impact and secure support for their "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act, especially among moderate members of their party facing reelection in 2026.
Specific examples of delays or considerations related to the 2026 timeframe:
Harsher provider tax limits: Limits on provider taxes that help states finance Medicaid expansion, initially set to take effect early in 2027 (just after the 2026 elections), were reportedly being considered for delay by Senate Republicans.
Work Requirements: The Senate version of the bill included a provision allowing the Health and Human Services Secretary to grant "good faith" waivers to states to delay implementing work requirement checks until 2029. This suggests a potential flexibility that could be politically advantageous.
Redetermination Requirements: While the bill mandated six-month eligibility redeterminations for Medicaid expansion individuals starting December 31, 2026, some earlier discussions may have explored later effective dates
Yes! From what I understand, the biggest Medicaid cuts happen in 2027, after the mid-terms. Well times to keep those Repubs back in office before people realize what's going to hit them.
Or if Dems gain control everyone will be blaming them instead of the lying Republicons. People have short memories when it comes to politics and who screwed them.
It will be the bill-political suicide of yesterday which impels partisans to defy even that lofty grandeur of insanity, when (20) senate Republicans and (13) senate Democrats come up for reelection in November of 2026.
In Terms Unstolen:
Already bracing ourselves for the divide-and-conquer campaigns they will run, we take a step back, to recall that James Madison defined a “pure Democracy” as a "society consisting of a small number of citizens who assemble and administer the government" themselves. (footnote 1)
Whereas the cofounders recognized that would not be possible, given the size of our country, they devised a representative form of Democracy that is referred to as our "Republican Form of Government" in the Constitution. (footnote 2)
Thus reminding ourselves that we, the Members of our American Republic, are in fact all republican-democrats.
As well as that, ironically, to breach the Constitution that forms the Offices that our Public Servants currently hold, is to dissolve their own seats in our General Government, whilst the State Governments persist and we pursue happiness as Members of our immutable Republic:
Turning Two Hundred & Forty-Nine (249) today, the Charter that Formed Our Republic & Codified Our Rights as forever unalienable, remains as perfect and unalterable as the day the it was signed! (footnotes 3 & 4)
( 3 ) Charter of the united States of America. The American Republic. Jefferson, Thomas &a., Journals of the Continental Congress, Volume V. (1776). 1906. See page 76 of the PDF (page 491 as written on the page), “Declaration of Independence,” https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/llscd/lljc005/lljc005.pdf(accessed 03JULY2025).
Came here to say this! Not only to avoid the dems getting blamed, but to provide clear foresight on what to expect when. Can we counteract any of it personally, on the state level, town level, etc.
Knowing that the budget bill is highly unpopular with the American electorate(only 17% felt the bill was acceptable), one can only surmise one of two things
1 The MAGA/Christian Nationalist movement is willing to take the risk that they will lose the midterm elections and that in a short period of time they will gain the electorate's confidence back again
2 With the successful 2024 election subversion behind them the Nazis are now emboldened that they can subvert the 2026 midterms since they have the program to make them unafraid of manipulating another election Remember the Orange Cheeto saying that if he's elected in 2024 "my beautiful Christians won't have to vote again" Armed with his Palantir software Peter Thiel along with Musk have the AI generative ability to cull out registered voters and Musk has the capability to alter voting machines with his Starlink network The already vigilante challenges that eliminated 3.5m registered voters from the rolls promoted by 40,000 volunteers will also be on the table
The arrogance that the Nazi party has is supported by their above corrupt voter suppression and voter elimination tactics Make it harder to vote and we'll win
So America are we going to let them get away with this?? If there was ever a time for WE the People to stand up for the government we want to see it is NOW
Meanwhile PROTEST PROTEST PROTEST to keep the pressure on this Nazi regime and show other more timid Americans that it's time to VOTE November 2026 Also contact Secty of States in your states and let them know our concerns
I contacted our AZ AG and provided data that supported the contention that votes in 2024 had been manipulated. She referred me to our Secretary of State. I plan to provide him with a report I read that includes data from the swing states, including AZ.
We need to adjust the messaging so ppl know that Medicaid is called something different in the most states. In Virginia, it’s called Cardinal Care. So ppl think they are ok because they have Cardinal Care insurance without realizing it’s the Medicaid they are about to lose!
In Wisconsin it’s BadgerCare and in California it’s MediCal. Need to get this out there because they didn’t want it advertised. By 2027, most states will have no affordable health insurance available for low income citizens.
You are 1 of 3 paid subscriptions I have because I know how hard you work, to the point I worry about your health. I will continue to support you.
Please share those facts with us. I live in a solid red state in the South and I do keep up with what’s going on (9 rural hospitals are going to close in Tennessee, that might not sound like a lot but they are imperative here and I’m sure there will be more). I’m going to start a FACTS list in my Notes in my phone so I can accurately tell my Republican family what they have caused. I’m the radical Democrat of the family (both sides) but I won’t sit silent when their actions are hurting innocent people.
I also swear if I see anyone wearing Alligator Alcatraz anything I will catch a charge!
Anyone else get what looks like a legit email from SSA labeled ‘Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors’
Yes, I just saw it a few minutes ago, and I know it is a flat out lie! Also, the regime is saying that 147,000 new jobs were created in May, when in actuality, 33,000 jobs were lost. We have to pay strict attention to what we are reading, and make others aware when we see them lying to us.
Social Security sends notifications & updates via USPS . In the 5 plus years of SS I have always received info via United States Post Office, never have received email. It is a felony to tamper with USPS mail!
I received it and was totally appalled by the mention of the big beautiful bill! Really didn't give the full truth as to how that "tax relief" was going to work.
Carol, I have the same problem! I'm surrounded by Trumpers! They just give me the party line, and their email responses are just fluff, no substance! Protest is the only way to get attention!!
Same thing in Ohio. I do get responses but they sound like Charlie Browns teacher. They say nothing of any consequence and just go their merry way. Ass-kissers all….
Hi Carol! That’s because the R’s do not want to hear nor listen to their constituents. The only true line of attack at this point is vote them out 2026 and we’ll need huge overwhelming numbers in case they try tampering with results or challenging narrow margins.
I’m skeptical at this point because they absolutely knew what was in this bill and how it will work. I would guess it’s better to tell them up front they will not be voted for, but the real damage is already done with this bill. In addition, they now can pretend or worse lie to hope to confuse folks just to retain votes. At this point they are not to be trusted. Vote them out no matter what.
Might be useful to simply say they have not only lost your vote but you will be fervently and continually working to make him lose across the board. Calling out his lies, his callous disregard for America and for his constituents. You'll be watching his voting record, his public statements, his associations on the Hill and his spending.
Thank you for your tireless work; I’d particularly encourage you to remind people relentlessly that it’s not just Medicaid that took the hit—Medicare’s taking a massive blow. Two different demographics that need to know exactly how they’re being thrown to the (disgustingly spineless) wolves.
Too many of you Americans are still clueless as fuck. I keep seeing this rhetoric of “remember this for the next election”. You 👏 will 👏 not 👏 have 👏 another 👏 free 👏 and👏 fair 👏 election👏. Like wake the fuck up. You are living in a fascist regime already; too many of you have been ignorant, arrogant, complacent, and lazy as fuck, choosing to mentally masturbate on social media; that is the reason why you are where you are today. It’s either fight or suffer and die. No one is coming to save you.
I keep thinking the same thing about elections and don't understand why people refuse to see it. Isn't there also something in that bill about AI? MuskRat didn't steal all our private data to dance around it. They'll use it in the next election and AI tools to manipulate elections. 🙄
It’s about protecting ego and fragile emotions. To admit it means, you actually have to take action. Denial is easier until it is knocking at your door and taking you away. The majority of Americans are already passive because they have been made to be. They are taken it up the ass from corporations and billionaires for decades. Since they have had to take it up the ass at work and across their life as an American since the system is fucking them, they have learned to be passive. They are primed and ready for a fascist country because they will continue being passive and suffer because that is what they’ve already done. Unfortunately, the suffering under a fascist regime is a lot different than being fucked by billionaires and corporations who will now control their lives and demand compliance or death.
Okay, this isn't helping. When the rhetoric has been the US is helping everyone else and to put America first, all you're doing is proving them right that we should be in it for ourselves. Stop this way of beating us down when we're obviously down. Kindly fuck off too.
I am not sure where you took any of that from what I posted. The point is that either you fight or suffer and die because too many Americans have been ignorant and passive; this has been a long time coming. It’s either it stops now or this is your reality… Forever; that is the reality.
You would understand if you were an American. You aren't. Find the people we've been fighting with who voted him in. And you absolutely need to reread you're fucking comments if you think it wasn't a lecture.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.
The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy.
“This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned."
The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned.
Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them.
My wife and I got this propaganda too. It is legit. The cut is temporary for a few years and is a means-tested deduction againsts Social Security income.
They’re making a big deal about throwing pennies to the peons while the real money will go to the millionaires.
Look at the e-mail address of the sender and see if it is correct (in the to/from line at the top ). If it’s part of a scam, there will be a mistake (usually small mistake in it) for example ssa.Gov vs. ssa.gov . Look up the correct email address of SS and compare it to what the email says.
It’s legit ssa.gov. Came just like other emails I receive regarding changes in benefits. I get them they’ll say please log onto your account to see a letter about changes etc
Find someone good at making timelines, map out those cuts that drift into place in 2026 & 2027. They will try to blame the democrats after the 2026 election. Tie that timeline to this bill to link the responsibility.
This is a great idea - visuals are great to share on social media, too!
Stop hawking your shit on here!! This is not your Substack!! You’re inappropriate and rude!! Go get your own Substack!!
Please report this. I have been and support would help get this jerk banned.
Agreed! I've stocked up on Vaseline because we're getting fuck over big time (@)
They made some of the changes to come after midterms so people would say “they were exaggerating how bad it will be,” so they could assure Republicans voting for it wouldn’t cause them any problems.

Also, after the midterms, when the Dems win, they will then blame the Democrats for any further implementation of the Big BS Bill.
This! It needs to be posted now. Everywhere. So when it happens, we can saw we knew. It was all there.
I agree we need a timeline. It also needs to have when the things actually given, like no tax on tips, expire and caps.
No tax on tips up to $25,000 meaning if you make more than $25,000 then your your tips are taxed
That’s my understanding of it also. When I owned a restaurant, even my part time servers made way more than that. So this doesn’t come close to “no tax on tips”
That means a lot of people barely getting by on tips in the cities won’t see much difference at all. How calculated of them.
The no taxes on tips is a joke! Tips paid in cash are not reported anyway and paid by card expire in two years while the wealthy permanently get to keep theirs. We will never get out of debt because what we will take in will never cover it. Gilded Age Part Two!.
please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe that big Corps. that give out large bonuses, those bonuses are also considered as, "No Taxed Tips"...in addition the, no tax on tips, for the hospitality industry is only temporary (3 years) and the "No Tax on Tips" for people working for large mega rich Corp. is permanent ? ...if this is true, it looks like another side hustle scam by the GOP scum raping 99% of the working people in the country .

Following you, Kelly. I want to see what you create. I understand things better when presented visually.
This is a great idea and essential, because of course the uninformed and ill-informed will try to blame the Dems when those benefit cuts kick in.
They started lying before the vote was taken today. Minority Leader HakeemJeffries completed his speech beating the longest held time in the house set by Speaker Kevin McCarthy. This Independent Boomer watched 80% on CSPAN after a friend made me aware. Voting was to occur after the Minority Leader had completed. A GOP Representative from Missouri rose to speak with lies.

It's already in their plan. From an AI search:

I was just getting ready to say the same thing. Most Americans don’t realize the timeline differences of the roll outs.
Yes! From what I understand, the biggest Medicaid cuts happen in 2027, after the mid-terms. Well times to keep those Repubs back in office before people realize what's going to hit them.

And because the democrats forced a reading of the full bill prior to the vote, they can’t claim they didn’t know what was in it anymore.
Came here to say this! Not only to avoid the dems getting blamed, but to provide clear foresight on what to expect when. Can we counteract any of it personally, on the state level, town level, etc.
It’s now called #trumptax. When people start to suffer making sure everyone remembers who did this will be key.
Republicans in congress need to be called #trumpers. The people need to know who voted.
easy. It was all Republicans. Minus a precious 3 in the Senate. Not sure how many in the house.
Only 2 in the house voted No
I believe it was 2 in the House when this was passed. 2 brave Repubs. Massie and Fitzpatrick. Don the Con will make their lives miserable now.
RepublicanTax, because Trump didn't do it alone, and lot of other fuckers helped

Yes! We need to name it.
What a brilliant idea to make this stench stick to him like the shitty miasma it is.

We need to adjust the messaging so ppl know that Medicaid is called something different in the most states. In Virginia, it’s called Cardinal Care. So ppl think they are ok because they have Cardinal Care insurance without realizing it’s the Medicaid they are about to lose!
You make a good point. In Massachusetts, Medicaid goes by MassHealth.
In Wisconsin it’s BadgerCare and in California it’s MediCal. Need to get this out there because they didn’t want it advertised. By 2027, most states will have no affordable health insurance available for low income citizens.
Exactly!!! Use that message to teach & give us a chance to turn this all around in 2026. We HAVE to.
Could someone verify? I believe Oregon also has a different name for their Medicaid program.
Oregon’s plan is OHP, Oregon Health Plan.
Great thought!!!
In Maine, medicaid is called Mainecare.
You are 1 of 3 paid subscriptions I have because I know how hard you work, to the point I worry about your health. I will continue to support you.
Please share those facts with us.

Got the propaganda with the word Applaud. I propose the finger since that’s what too many Americans just received.
Didn’t he tell us that big balls left doge and went to SSA? Maybe that’s why this email went out. Big balls pushing an agenda
I did.
I’ve never seen any correspondence with them that was so political. And not all of it was accurate.
I did as well & wondered if it was some sort of phishing scam. Way too gleeful & info was not correct.
I agree. I was very surprised by this email.
Social Security sends notifications & updates via USPS . In the 5 plus years of SS I have always received info via United States Post Office, never have received email. It is a felony to tamper with USPS mail!
I haven't seen anything from SSA! Is that good or bad?
My dad hasn’t either but my mom has
I got that. Just more White House propaganda, I chalked it up to.
SSA is supposed to be non partisan and independent. That’s why the whole tone is so strange and way off
Yes! I just read it and was wondering exactly where that came from. Does not seem right at all.
I received it and was totally appalled by the mention of the big beautiful bill! Really didn't give the full truth as to how that "tax relief" was going to work.
I did. The audacity is appalling.💙
I’m a senior in NJ on SS and I did not get that. Are you in a Red State where GOP is now afraid they will loose vote ps from their base?
No. CA
Yes!
yes. ugh🤮
I got one too! It is not even in the bill!

I’m skeptical at this point because they absolutely knew what was in this bill and how it will work. I would guess it’s better to tell them up front they will not be voted for, but the real damage is already done with this bill. In addition, they now can pretend or worse lie to hope to confuse folks just to retain votes. At this point they are not to be trusted. Vote them out no matter what.
Agree!!! Vote them out!
Agreed, have the same issue.
I called out of my district to Republicans doesn’t matter they don’t listen to anybody.
Might be useful to simply say they have not only lost your vote but you will be fervently and continually working to make him lose across the board. Calling out his lies, his callous disregard for America and for his constituents. You'll be watching his voting record, his public statements, his associations on the Hill and his spending.
Good luck to you sir.
My experience has been that MAGA is encased in an armor of bullshit that no facts can penetrate.
It’s not them we need to reach….let that 25% rot. It’s the apathetic not paying attention types we gotta get.
Thank you for your tireless work; I’d particularly encourage you to remind people relentlessly that it’s not just Medicaid that took the hit—Medicare’s taking a massive blow. Two different demographics that need to know exactly how they’re being thrown to the (disgustingly spineless) wolves.
Too many of you Americans are still clueless as fuck. I keep seeing this rhetoric of “remember this for the next election”. You 👏 will 👏 not 👏 have 👏 another 👏 free 👏 and👏 fair 👏 election👏. Like wake the fuck up. You are living in a fascist regime already; too many of you have been ignorant, arrogant, complacent, and lazy as fuck, choosing to mentally masturbate on social media; that is the reason why you are where you are today. It’s either fight or suffer and die. No one is coming to save you.
I keep thinking the same thing about elections and don't understand why people refuse to see it. Isn't there also something in that bill about AI? MuskRat didn't steal all our private data to dance around it. They'll use it in the next election and AI tools to manipulate elections. 🙄
It’s about protecting ego and fragile emotions. To admit it means, you actually have to take action. Denial is easier until it is knocking at your door and taking you away. The majority of Americans are already passive because they have been made to be. They are taken it up the ass from corporations and billionaires for decades. Since they have had to take it up the ass at work and across their life as an American since the system is fucking them, they have learned to be passive. They are primed and ready for a fascist country because they will continue being passive and suffer because that is what they’ve already done. Unfortunately, the suffering under a fascist regime is a lot different than being fucked by billionaires and corporations who will now control their lives and demand compliance or death.
That's exactly right on the money, Yup.
Okay, this isn't helping. When the rhetoric has been the US is helping everyone else and to put America first, all you're doing is proving them right that we should be in it for ourselves. Stop this way of beating us down when we're obviously down. Kindly fuck off too.
I am not sure where you took any of that from what I posted. The point is that either you fight or suffer and die because too many Americans have been ignorant and passive; this has been a long time coming. It’s either it stops now or this is your reality… Forever; that is the reality.
You're speaking to the wrong audience for your lectures.
I will disagree with you respectfully on that point. And it ain’t a lecture. It’s stark reality.
You would understand if you were an American. You aren't. Find the people we've been fighting with who voted him in. And you absolutely need to reread you're fucking comments if you think it wasn't a lecture.
Hopefully, you can take that energy onto the street and elsewhere to fight for your country. You’re going to need it.
And they cheered to YMCA -- if that isn't HYPOCRISY, I don't know what the FUCK is...
Please keep loudly repeating the names of ALL who voted yes for this garbage bill, especially those who pushed the lies.
Make a list so every day one is spotlighted.
SHAME to all the GOP who voted yes for this Bill!
It isn’t a Christian bill or a pro life bill both they claim to be. WWJD?
I just received a text from ssa.Gov saying this:
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.
The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy.
“This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned."
The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned.
Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them.
I thought that was not in the bill?
My wife and I got this propaganda too. It is legit. The cut is temporary for a few years and is a means-tested deduction againsts Social Security income.
They’re making a big deal about throwing pennies to the peons while the real money will go to the millionaires.
Look at the e-mail address of the sender and see if it is correct (in the to/from line at the top ). If it’s part of a scam, there will be a mistake (usually small mistake in it) for example ssa.Gov vs. ssa.gov . Look up the correct email address of SS and compare it to what the email says.
It’s legit ssa.gov. Came just like other emails I receive regarding changes in benefits. I get them they’ll say please log onto your account to see a letter about changes etc
This email is predictable. Look up Frank Bisignano, he is Taco’s pick for ssa’s leader. Formerly of JPMorgan Chase, among others.
