The Big Beautiful Bill – A Local Breakdown

Hey neighbors,

Here's an article straight from whitehouse.gov about the big beautiful bill the Trump Administration is pushing through Congress.

I know a lot of you have been concerned and nervous about what's going on. I share much of your sentiment. At the same time, I understand that some of it comes from an impossible expectation that you be more informed than our founding fathers intended. Add to that the agendas pushed by modern media, and it's no wonder we feel overwhelmed.

So I’ve marked up the article:

• Orange: Parts I am confident in and comfortable with.
• Yellow: Areas of concern, tricky linguistics, and wordplay you should be aware of.

Below that, you'll find:

• A series of questions I’ve written up about specific policies.
• Underlined phrases that signal shifts in tone or agenda.
• In the bottom right corner: an extensive list of key nouns and action words used throughout. It’s short content—but it carries a lot of weight in language.

I’m not in D.C., so I can’t vouch for the authenticity beyond that. But if you check out what I’ve noted here, I think it’ll help you understand what kinds of questions to ask to get the answers you’re looking for.
