You’ve probably heard about big wins under the Biden-Harris administration like fighting climate change & upgrading infrastructure. Here are a few more ahead of the #StateOfTheUnion—and some that may have flown under your radar. Brought to you by a persistent grassroots movement.

By the way: six years ago today, Mitch McConnell banned me from speaking on the Senate floor after I started reading a letter by Coretta Scott King. He was trying to silence a whole movement. Nevertheless, we persisted. We took back power. And we’re using it to make real change.

Here are 10 ways that Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will make your life more expensive:

1. Your utility bills go up as we lose clean energy investments and electricity costs more;

2. Your rent goes up as predatory housing companies artificially jack up prices;
3. Your or your kid’s college tuition increases as Pell Grants are cut;

4. Your student loan payments go up thanks to changes in repayment plans;

5. Your medical school costs go up, making it harder for working class people to become doctors;
6. Your grocery costs go up as SNAP benefits are cut;

7. Your prescription drugs are more expensive as copays increase;

8. Your Affordable Care Act insurance premiums skyrocket;

9. Your private and employer-funded insurance costs increase;

Trump’s big, ugly budget bill has 4 dangerous provisions that they've snuck in:

1: Defunding Planned Parenthood, which will gut health care nationally and create a backdoor national abortion ban—even in states where abortion is protected.
2: Slashing taxes and restrictions on purchasing gun silencers, making it easier for criminals to gain access to them and ensuring our society is less safe.
3: Barring states from regulating AI, carrying implications like helping real estate companies and landlords hike up rents across the country.

Clearly, it would be illegal for Elon Musk or Donald Trump to cut someone’s Social Security benefits by $5,000 without a new law from Congress.

Now consider this alternative scenario: 🧵
Say a 66-year-old man qualifies for Social Security. Say he calls the helpline to apply, but he's told about a new DOGE rule, so he has to go online or in person.
He can't drive. He has trouble with the website, so he waits until his niece can get a day off to take him to the local office, but DOGE closed that office, so they have to drive two hours to get to the next closest office.

Instead of illegally trying to shut down huge pieces of our government that serve working people, Elon Musk could cut $2 trillion of actual waste by targeting handouts to the rich and powerful.

Here’s how: (🧵)
1. Negotiate better contracts for the Department of Defense. Giant contractors overcharge the DOD on nearly everything—including by more than 7,500% for soap dispensers.

My recommendations on contracting would save nearly $200 billion in the next 12 years.
2. Root out dirty tricks by private insurers that boost their profits by manipulating claims and denying coverage in Medicare Advantage.

Experts estimate that those insurers overcharged taxpayers by at least ~$83 billion in 2024 alone.

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important.

We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵
1. We have to fight every fight in Congress. We won’t always win, but we can slow or sometimes limit Trump’s destruction. With every fight, we can build political power to put more checks on his administration and build the foundation for future wins.
During the Trump years, Congress stepped up its oversight of his unprecedented corruption and abuses of power.

Imagine you’re standing in the frozen food aisle, staring at a pint of ice cream. The price tag isn’t printed on paper, like usual—now it’s a digital display. With a camera pointed right at you. 🧵
It’s now more convenient for the store to change the price—how often do they take advantage of that? Does the price surge on a hot day? By how much?
If you pick up a pint even though the price has shot up, does the facial recognition software store your demographic data and use it to estimate how willing different customers are to pay certain prices?
