Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer attempted to rebrand the Republican-led “One Big Beautiful Bill” on Wednesday, drawing swift backlash.
Schumer accused President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans of misleading the public about the bill’s true impact, suggesting it should instead be called the “Well, We’re All Going To Die Act.”
He argued that the legislation would remove health care coverage from 14 million Americans, cut off food assistance for 11 million people, and finance “tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of families.”
“Here’s the ‘We Are All Going To Die Act,’” Schumer read from his visual aid.
Critics were quick to respond, noting that if every Republican-led measure labeled “deadly” by Democrats actually resulted in deaths, most Americans would have perished multiple times by now.
“I’m already dead from Net Neutrality, climate change, sequestration, and building a wall,” one respondent on the X platform said.
“I was murdered by the repeal of Net Neutrality,” another noted.
“Doesn’t this act get old? Everyone was going to die if we repealed net neutrality. Passing a Georgia law that expanded voter access was going to bring back segregation. Passing tax cuts will kill everyone. Even the emotional value is gone because no one takes it seriously,” AG Hamilton posted.
“It really is like the Reason video when they mocked these clowns for saying ‘people will die’ anytime a Republican proposed anything,” another said while sharing the video.
