Trump's family has deals to build luxury resorts and hotels in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. And their crypto firm will be used by the UAE to make a $2B deal — netting the Trumps hundreds of millions of dollars. His "diplomatic trips" are blatant self-enrichment opportunities.

There are numerous tax cuts and loopholes in the "big, beautiful bill." But it boils down to this simple fact: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and meals from millions of people.

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten... https://t.co/OPviuU6bft

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.
