Well, we're in the shit now. In the event you haven't heard, House Republicans rammed through their nightmare class war reconciliation bill in the dead of night, because when you're voting to murder and rob your own voters, it's best to wait until everyone is asleep. This is of course, bad. The "Big Beautiful Bill" does however still have to make it past the Senate, where there has been pushback over Mike Johnson's proposed $715B in Medicaid cuts; most notably from faux-populist Josh Hawley. Of course, in the US system of government the Senate has the power to alter the bill before voting; which means things could easily get worse too. The long and short of the situation is that we're probably still fucked, but we get to spend multiple weeks agonizing over whether or not we're completely fucked; because American politics is basically the meatspace answer to the Torment Nexus.
All of which means that we're still breaking down the most horrifying aspects of the GOP's homicidal class war reconciliation bill; which honestly might have so much nightmare shit inside that it'll fully pass into law before analysts get a chance to talk about all of the reasons this is a terrible bill. Take for example the unhinged and highly-partisan assault the Republican Party is conducting on green energy initiatives and subsidies. We already know the Trump regime is committed to burning the planet to ash as fast as possible purely as a matter of ideology, but did you know that eliminating everything about Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act will also increase household costs for everyday Americans and eliminate as many as 830,000 jobs? These guys sure are good at "the economy."

Trump’s tax bill to cost 830,000 jobs and drive up bills and pollution emissions, experts warn
The analysis in this article is kind of all over the place, but we're essentially looking at three issues here: job losses, increased household expenses, and climate damage that will be directly caused by this bill.
"And the legislation will cost the US 830,000 jobs by 2030 compared with the status quo, Energy Innovation found. That includes the direct loss of jobs in fields such as solar panel manufacturing and electric vehicle production, indirect job loss from the decreased investments and lower clean energy demand, and induced cuts resulting from consumer spending cuts attributable to layoffs, higher fuel costs, and other third-order effects.
“The Inflation Reduction Act was carefully crafted to create good-paying jobs in deindustrialized communities, underserved communities, and coal communities. We have seen that it is doing just that, creating good jobs you don’t need a college degree to get and opening up pathways to the middle class across the nation,” said Ted Fertik, vice-president of manufacturing and industrial policy at climate and labor advocacy group Blue Green Alliance. “Killing the tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act is a direct attack on working Americans.”
I think these devastating numbers speak for themselves, but it's also worth pointing out that because the IRA's green energy spending was specifically targeted at rural, deindustrialized communities, this is going to result in significantly more job losses in Republican voting areas than "blue" states. Whether that matters to you is a question of opinion, but it again exposes that the GOP is actively voting to harm its own supporters at every turn in this bill.
"The bill as it stands will cause Americans’ energy bills to spike by stymying new renewable energy – often the cheapest form of new electricity generation – the non-partisan thinktank Energy Innovation calculated. The average household will see their bills rise by more than $230 by 2035."
I mean who doesn't love paying higher power bills, am I right? Obviously nobody is going to lose their minds over an additional $230 per year in energy costs, but this must be understood in the context of all the *other* ways this bill is going to increase household costs for American families; more expensive power, combines with higher medical costs, and reduced food subsidies to add up to an insurmountable barrier for low income families pretty fast.
“This will all come at the expense of the environment,” said Orvis.
The new bill will also cause the US to emit 260m tonnes more pollution than it would’ve otherwise in 2035, which is more than the entire annual emissions of Spain."
And of course it wouldn't be a Trump-approved bill if it didn't literally kill the planet faster.
Naturally, all this nightmare bullshit is being sold as "ending subsidies for woke corporations" because not getting black lung is apparently woke now. The obvious truth here however is that this ENTIRE bill is a subsidy for rich people, paid for by literally robbing and murdering labor class Americans.
a "minimal quality of life" is out of reach, acc to the group, a research org focused on improving lower earners' economic well-being. 
making schemes that once would've generated endless pol blowback, televised hearings, official investigations & damage control. The death of outrage in the Trump era exemplifies how far he's moved the lines of accepted behavior in DC.
