Donald Trump's massive tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations, currently working their way through Congress, will strip healthcare from millions of working-class Americans. This isn't just bad policy—it's an act of social murder.

THE DETAILS: Analysis from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office released yesterday found that the Senate’s version of the bill would cost nearly 12 million people their healthcare.

A previous study of the House bill done by Yale and UPenn found the cuts would lead to 51,000 preventable deaths each year.

That’s slightly less than the total number of American deaths in Vietnam.

And that’s to say nothing of the cuts to nutritional programs like SNAP (food stamps) included in the bill.

BIG PICTURE: Make no mistake—this is murder. Specifically what Friedrich Engels called “social murder.”

Engels, who co-wrote the Communist Manifesto with Karl Marx, described the phenomenon observing the horrific conditions of factories in 19th century Great Britain:

Trump and congressional Republicans are doing exactly what Engels described: sentencing working-class Americans to death by systematically dismantling the healthcare systems that keep them alive, all to fund tax breaks for the wealthy.

THE VERDICT: If Republicans do this—knowing that people will die because of it—how is it NOT murder?

WHAT’S NEXT: According to the AP, the outcome of this bill is still uncertain.

GO DEEPER: Here’s what’s in the latest version of the bill.

Given that people will die because of the cuts in Trump’s bill—do you think we should start holding politicians and business executives legally accountable for social murder? Tell us why or why not after you vote.

Last week, following Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory in New York City, we asked, do you feel more or less hopeful. The room was split.

William voted less hopeful and voiced the concerns of many: “Trump will destroy the U.S. if his recklessness isn't stopped and soon. I hope we're not let down again in November 2026. Things need to change!!!”

Carol voted less hopeful and said plainly, “If you are not outraged you are not paying attention. Every day is a new nightmare.”

Still others took Mamdani’s victory to mean things are changing. Tom wrote: “With Trump destroying America people are finally waking up to the fact that unrestricted capitalism is NOT the best system for ALL Americans and that a Democratic Socialist government will actually help All Americans recover from the last 50+ years of the disaster we have been enduring.”

Jiggle also provided us with some optimism. “I'm a glass-half-full person so maybe it's just wishful thinking. I'd like to think the tide is turning somewhat. I don't believe the majority of people like the way the current administration is heading, we've had many successful social programs that haven't destroyed the country, and I believe people like that.”

In the latest act of horrific gun violence in the United States, a man intentionally set a wildfire, then opened fire on first responders with high-powered rifles. Two firefighters are dead, another critically injured—and officials say it was a planned ambush. Full story from The Guardian.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) suddenly announced his retirement yesterday after Trump blasted him for opposing the GOP’s healthcare-slashing megabill. This is great news for the resistance. With Tillis out, Democrats have a real shot at flipping one of 2026’s top Senate targets. Full story from Politico.

Israeli troops were told to fire on crowds of starving Palestinians waiting for food, according to soldiers quoted in a new investigation from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. One described the aid sites as “a killing field.” At least 549 people have died seeking food at U.S.-backed distribution centers. The Haaretz article is behind a paywall, but Al Jazeera wrote about their investigation.

More than 100,000 people took to the streets of Budapest after Hungary’s far-right government tried to ban Pride. The crackdown backfired, sparking one of the country’s largest-ever Pride events—a massive show of resistance to Viktor Orbán’s authoritarian rule. Full story from GoQueer.

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman says he and fellow elites are ready to spend “hundreds of millions” to defeat democratic socialist frontrunner Zohran Mamdani. But his pledge to bankroll a mystery candidate could backfire—New Yorkers just rejected billionaire meddling in the primary. Full story from Fortune.

Hundreds of mourners gathered Saturday in Minneapolis to honor Melissa and Mark Hortman, the Minnesota Democratic lawmakers gunned down by a MAGA extremist earlier this month.

But Trump—and corporate media—were nowhere to be found.

THE DETAILS: The service, held at the Basilica of St. Mary, featured a tearful eulogy from Gov. Tim Walz, who was a close friend of the couple.

Meanwhile, Trump—who refused to even call Walz to offer support—went golfing.

And despite the fact this horrific attack that would have once garnered wall-to-wall coverage from corporate media, this ceremony was barely mentioned in nightly newscasts.

BACKGROUND: The alleged shooter carried a hit list of 72 Democratic politicians and reproductive rights advocates and his best friend described him as "a strong Trump supporter".

Yet corporate media has largely ignored this connection, instead choosing to fill their websites and airwaves with attacks on Zohran Mamdani.

THE REAL STORY: This selective silence isn't accidental—it's strategic. Corporate media outlets depend on advertising dollars from the very industries that profit from political instability and division.

Meanwhile, the same media machine that buried this story will spend weeks obsessing over the latest culture war distraction or parsing every word of some meaningless political theater.

BOTTOM LINE: This is how American capitalism protects itself: not just through policy and police, but through information control that keeps us focused on everything except the real sources of our suffering.
