Working class, heads up: While we're all grinding to make ends meet, Congress passed a 940-page disaster. Trump's "Big Beautiful" budget? Wondering what is actually in it? We break it down here. And spoiler alert: it's not beautiful.

The following is a statement from the Writers Guild of America East regarding Paramount’s settlement with Donald Trump over a “60 Minutes” segment:
BRINGIN’ THE HEAT: We have filed a grievance against @CondeNast over management’s disregard for worker safety during last week’s heat wave. (1/5)
America's unions cannot overstate the Senate budget reconciliation bill's overwhelming harm for working families. We condemn the @SenateGOP for doubling down on a bill that raises costs, wipes out jobs, and rips health care away from 17 million people. aflcio.org/press/releases…
We’re still fighting to stop cuts to Medicaid and the ACA, which would throw 17 MILLION people off their health care. Tell senators: NO cuts! act.aflcio.org/call_campaigns…
The reckless provision in the Senate’s budget bill that would have banned AI regulations for years was rejected and removed—a huge relief for working people. Now is time for senators to stand with working people. Keep fighting and make your voices heard. When we fight, we win!
Thank you to all the WGAE members who made calls and sent emails to their Senators to kill the amendment in the reconciliation budget bill (a.k.a. Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill") that would've stopped states and localities from regulating artificial intelligence.
Tonight the U.S. Senate voted 99-1 to strip the 10-year moratorium on state AI regulations from the GOP budget reconciliation bill. Thanks to all who raised your voices in opposition - we will keep fighting to protect kids, consumers & small businesses!
The Blackburn/Cruz amendment on AI regulation is not an improvement – in fact, the new “undue or disproportionate burden" language is worse. We urge senators to pass an amendment to strike the state AI provision in full and vote no on this so-called "compromise."
The US Senate is poised to vote as early this afternoon on an amendment in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill that stops states and localities from regulating artificial intelligence. Call your Senators NOW at 202-224-3121 to demand they strip the AI moratorium from the budget bill.
