I see Trump’s "Big Beautiful Bill" has passed. I think it will ultimately cause more harm than good. If it works the way it’s supposed to, I should personally benefit from the overtime provision and maybe, in a couple of years, the new car interest tax rebate. But I also know a lot of people it will hurt. 🤷‍♂️

As a no-party-affiliated voter who leans just right of center on most issues—and definitely left of center on healthcare—I’ve always believed we should have universal healthcare. 🏥 I don’t have all the answers, and I’m not sure how we’d fund it or make it work in a way that’s both sensible and doctor-patient centered, but I believe it’s the right direction.

I think the cuts to Medicaid are harmful. I’m not totally against work requirements, as long as they’re applied equally and fairly to people who aren’t disabled in any way.

And once you factor in looming tariffs and the removal of undocumented farm and construction workers, I think inflation will come roaring back. 📈 Any breaks I might get will likely be eaten up.

That’s just my two cents.
