Aren't you sick of the media calling it the "Big Beautiful Bill?" I know that is its name, but it is pure BS

to call it that. It is propaganda. Every time the name of the bill is mentioned in the media, more people think "that sounds good!"

If it was a bill to kill babies, called the "Lovely Baby Bill," would the media repeat it ad nauseam?

Aren't you sick of these Orwellian semantic games that the Republicans play? Clean Coal and Natural Gas must be good for the planet
Fair Tax---who can complain about tax that is fair? Fake News---any media that isn't repeating the Trump BS.
America First---to Trump, it actually means isolationism and xenophobia that puts America at a disadvantage. Religious Freedom---to Trump, it means Christianity only and the spreading of anti-LGBTQ hate. Pro-Life---take away women's right to choose, even if they die as a result, while taking away child safety net programs. Traditional Marriage---just another BS excuse to spread more anti-LGBTQ hate.

mocking Biden’s BBB. Maybe, it’ll go back closer to normal when trump, his henchmen, and supporters are gone.

If you are represented by a Dem, call and write and tell them you want them calling it what it is: The MAGA Murder Budget

And point them to some guidance they would do well to heed if we're gonna have a shot at redeeming the soul of the nation:

As in "the so-called big beautiful bill." Entirely correct, and ads a modicum of doubt.
