Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) gave a new name to the “big, beautiful bill” on Wednesday, calling it the “Well, We’re All Going to Die Act.” Schumer appeared at a press conference alongside Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and stood next to a sign that read “Well, We’re All Going to Die Act,” a reference to previous comments from Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa.)

“The more you look at the bill, at the House bill, the worse it gets,” Schumer said during the press conference. The New York Democrat added later that “this bill is just tax breaks for the ultra wealthy, paid for by gutting health care for up to 16 million Americans.”

During a recent town hall in Butler, Iowa, Ernst defended spending reforms included in the “big, beautiful bill” passed by the House, including those that would stop people from getting federal benefits if they’ve entered the country illegally.

A person in the crowd attempted to talk over the senator, interrupting her while she was answering questions about changes to Medicaid and SNAP and shouting that people are “going to die” as a result. “Well, we’re all going to die,” Ernst responded, drawing jeers.

1. Good for Schumer.

[twodogsbarking]

2. Well Chuck, the USA does lead the world in ways to kill people.

Was that too harsh?
I've been trying to be nice but fucking reality gets in the way

[ancianita]

9. Bullshit.

The reality existed before Schumer or the rest of us were even born.

Crime is up in red states and down in blue states, and down across the US overall. But don't let that reality get in the way of your impulsive harsh. You want to undermine a Democratic leader with some corporate hype re the USA, that's on you.

[twodogsbarking]

12. You read a lot into what I wrote.

[ancianita]

13. Okay. I'll take your word for it.

I only wrote what I wrote just in case. No hard feelings.

[twodogsbarking]

14. If people would just stop killing other people so much I might feel better.

There are circumstances where you can justify it, I guess, and times when it is rationalized which seems to be the precedent. Stayed tuned to this station for more pessimism on the state of the world. No offese taken. I know when I am being offended and I usually ignore it.

[ancianita]

18. I hear you. You should feel better because of the lower numbers, though.

On being offended, I'm responding to your comment undermining a Democratic leader. Bickering with other Democrats usually weakens party morale and energy, overall, and ignoring internal party bickering contributes to party disunity.

[twodogsbarking]

19. My shot was at the USA, not Chuck. He has to deal with the system and the, you know, morons.

[ancianita]

20. Didn't come off like that, but I'll accept your intended meaning.

[sheshe2]

3. Good for him.

He is correct.

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. Seems appropriate.

Or, the pukes are going to kill us all bill.

[70sEraVet]

5. That's the proper way to rub their noses in it!

Joni was stupid enough to utter the words, thinking she was mocking the audience member for showing a bit of compassion -- but making people die is what all of these Repubs have been voting for!
"Instead of a cross, the Albatross
about my neck was hung"
Keep hanging that Albatross, Chuck!!

[Justice matters.]

6. And this time, the Republicans do it without any "death panels"

cheaper on the dime...

[SCantiGOP]

7. Can't we adopt decent messaging?

The text from Musk’s twisted brain was perfect- concise and to the point.
Describe it like he did:
Kill the bill (before it kills you).

[BattleRow]

11. Big, beautiful BULLs..t

[ffr]

8. "Well, We're All Going to Die Republican Spending Bill"

Fixed!

Call it what it is, a Republican Spending Bill.

[ancianita]

10. Definitely better! Chuck's sarcasm reveals republican evil : always add "Republican" to republican bill titles.

[StarryNite]

15. The Republicans want to kill everything including America's wild horses and burros.

Which by the way is what Project 2025 calls for. And most of the horses and burros removed from our public lands by the BLM and Forest Service are being removed not because of overpopulation but to appease special interest groups like public lands ranchers. Ranchers who happen to cost the tax payer millions of dollars a year in subsidies and many are wealthy like the Koch bros.

Trump budget could open the door to selling wild horses for slaughter
By Scott Streater | 06/03/2025 01:40 PM EDT

The fiscal 2026 proposal omits language prohibiting the Bureau of Land Management from selling or transferring any of the federally protected animals to places where they could be slaughtered.

President Donald Trump’s fiscal 2026 budget request proposes addressing the skyrocketing costs of wild horse and burro management by striking a provision designed to protect them.

The Bureau of Land Management budget request, details of which were released by the White House late Friday, would dramatically cut funding for the wild horse and burro program — and remove previous safeguards mandated by Congress that forbid the bureau from selling or transferring any of the federally protected animals to places where they could be slaughtered.

21. I had not heard that yet

Thanks for posting.

I've been arguing this for years. Wild horses grazing on public lands belong to the American people. Most want to keep them there. The prohibitions against who can adopt them has mostly kept sneaky horse traders at bay, from "adopting," them, then selling to the meat market in other countries.

The big commercial cattle ranchers consider them as vermin who eat, "their grass," and want them all exterminated. However, they are grazing their cattle on public lands that belong to the American people. They lease it from the government for a pittance.

Some people still consider horses as livestock--including Congress apparently. It depends on how you look at them. If you are breeding them on a farm, that's considered agricultural and livestock. They fall in the, "pet," category if you use them for anything else, from competing, trail riding, or being your best friend. They are definitely not considered food in this country. Would you eat a poodle?

trump hates all animals. He wants to get rid of Endangered Species protections, and anything else he considers a profit loss, especially any that stand in the way of the oligarchs.

22. The BLM planned on killing horses in 3 federally protected herds...

prior to this Big Bullshit Bill coming out. So they knew ahead of time what was coming and added the killing of federally protected wild horses from the Carter Reservoir, Buckhorn, and Coppersmith herds. They are planning on beginning rounding them up this summer. The Record Of Decision (ROD) for these three herds states:

(c) Remaining excess animals for which no adoption demand by qualified individuals exists shall
be destroyed in accordance with subpart 4730 of this part.

This is the first time we have seen that direct language in an ROD.

[Bayard]

24. Add this to all the people they're trying to kill.....

Congress quackers don't write this crap themselves. Who does it, and who gives them their marching orders?

[StarryNite]

25. The repubs/MAGAts are the death squad of people, animals, and the Earth.

They think they are going to be raptured and in the meantime they can do whatever they want to whoever they want with no repercussions because their god is on their side.

[Mysterian]

16. Well done, Senator Schumer!

Fight fire with fire!

[Aristus]

17. Good. We need to keep doing this.

Re-name their bills to something negative, catchy, and undermining of the intent of the bill.

They've hung Hillarycare, Obamacare, death panels, and all kinds of shit on us for so long, we need to start giving them a taste of their own medicine. I really hope this will help decrease public support for the bill.

[Paladin]

23. Nice going, Chuck Schumer.

Now: Do something like this, every freaking day.

[bucolic_frolic]

26. That is stealing the ball for a slam dunk!

Way to go, Sen. Schumer.

[markie]

27. Alan Grayson had that

figured out years ago...
