‘They don’t serve the people’: Jasmine Crockett exposes the ugly reality of Republicans’ ‘beautiful’ bill — and she’s not holding back

House Republicans have pushed through what they’re calling a “big, beautiful” bill but Representative Jasmine Crockett isn’t buying it. In fact, she’s calling it out for what it is: an assault on working Americans.

While Republicans were busy congratulating themselves for passing this razor-thin piece of legislation, Crockett was sounding the alarm, cutting through the spin with a scathing critique. “The ‘big, beautiful’ bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit,” she declared, pulling no punches.

The bill barely squeaked past the House, passing by the skin of its teeth. And while the GOP is busy high-fiving each other for what they’re framing as a “win,” Crockett and others are pointing out the very real human cost of their so-called success. This legislation includes historic cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), two lifelines for millions of Americans.

How bad are these cuts? Well, let’s start with Medicaid. The bill slashes a jaw-dropping $600 billion from the program, meaning over seven million Americans could lose their healthcare coverage. But hey, according to some Republicans, this is just about rooting out “fraudsters” and “non-citizens,” right? Sure, if you conveniently ignore the fact that the overwhelming majority of Medicaid recipients are everyday Americans—working families, children, and the elderly.

And then there’s SNAP. Over the next decade, the bill cuts $267 billion from the program that helps low-income Americans put food on the table. Starting in 2028, states will have to pick up more of the tab, forcing local governments into an impossible choice: feed their most vulnerable residents or balance their already stretched-thin budgets. If you think food insecurity is bad now, just wait until this kicks in.

But here’s the wildest part: this bill doesn’t even save money in the long run. In fact, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), it will add a staggering $3.8 trillion to the national debt. Yes, you read that right. The same Republicans who love to lecture us about “fiscal responsibility” are about to blow a massive hole in the federal budget. We’re already sitting on a mind-boggling $36 trillion, and this bill will pile on nearly $4 trillion more.

Every dollar we spend on interest payments is a dollar we can’t spend on things that actually improve people’s lives. Education? Nope. Affordable housing? Forget it. Infrastructure? Don’t make me laugh. And as the debt grows, so does the cost of borrowing, which means higher interest rates for everyone. So, if you’re dreaming of buying a home someday, good luck with that.

This bill doesn’t serve the people. It serves the wealthy donors and special interests who bankroll Republican campaigns. It’s a giveaway to the rich, plain and simple. And that’s what makes Crockett’s critique so powerful. She’s not just pointing out the flaws in the bill; she’s exposing a deeper truth about the Republican Party’s priorities.
