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.

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. https://t.co/gBVaDDSNRP

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!
