Ahead of the 4th of July holiday weekend, Republicans are trying to ram through their One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes enough horrors to dampen any parade. As written, the bill will do untold harm to Americans across the country through devastating cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and student loan forgiveness.
