This bill would devastate families across our state. Just look at numbers in North Carolina alone:
📉 3,012,000 people rely on Medicaid
🍽️ 1,415,600 (13% of the state) depend on SNAP to eat.
According to estimates from the CBO (Congressional Budget Office), tax cuts and spending in the bill will increase the federal deficit by $3.8 trillion.”
Join us as we take the red pen to the Big Beautiful Bill and say Benefits Before Billionaires! No one should lose healthcare or go hungry just so the ultra-rich can hoard more pretty pennies.

Buried in this so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" is the Republicans’ single-sentence sneak-attack on federal courts -- a provision buried deep in the 1,000 page mega bill that some fear would allow the Trump administration to totally ignore court orders.
The No Contempt Clause would limit a courts’ authority to hold government officials in contempt when they violate a court order. A benefit to the President and his administration; as it would make some rulings in their cases unenforceable. The clause does leave a workaround likely to be used by judges in future cases.

There's even more buried in this bill to be concerned about;. a clause banning states and localities from regulating AI (artificial intelligence) for 10 years.
This brief clause could have great consequences for the AI industry and the American public. The industry has been lobbying for little regulation, if any, of their development and use of this technology. A technology they promise will transform society. If passed this would be a great benefit to the industry. Do we want all aspects of our life to be transformed by artificial intelligence?
