It takes a heinous combination of cruelty, inhumanity, meanness, sadism and greed on the part of those 51 Republicans to pass Trump’s so called “Big Beautiful Bill.” In the history of the Senate there has never before been a single piece of legislation that was designed to directly inflict so much pain and suffering on millions of regular Americans while, at the same time, giving so much to a few of the wealthiest and most privileged among us. And while doing so they also placed a huge financial debt on our children that will burden them for generations. I apologize to my grandchildren and all future generations for what my generation will leave you. We failed you.
