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 Everyone was going to die if we repealed net neutrality.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.
“No one should ever – ever – take these people seriously ever again ever,” CNN GOP pundit Scott Jennings concluded.
Meanwhile, a stunning new poll from CNN shows the Democratic Party lagging far behind the Republicans when it comes to economic issues.
After months of the Democrats and their media allies trying to scare Americans about President Donald Trump’s tariff plans, CNN data analyst Harry Enten was surprised at how badly the left-wing narrative was failing.
“You would think after all of the waves, Kate Bolduan, after the last few months, the first five months of the Donald Trump presidency, right, the first four months of the Donald Trump presidency, that you’d expect that Democrats would have this massive lead on the economy. It ain’t so. It ain’t so,” he told the host during a Tuesday segment.
“The party that is closest to your economic views. In November of 2023, it was the Republicans by 11 points. Now it’s still within that range, still within that margin of error, plus an eight-point advantage for the Republican Party,” the data analyst said.
“How is that possible, Democrats? How is that possible after all the recession fears, after the stock markets have been doing all of this, after all the tariffs that Americans are against, and Republicans still hold an eight-point lead on the economy. Are you kidding me?” he said.
“How is that — when we look for trends, how is that trending with other data that you’re pulling in?” the anchor queried.
“Yes, if it was just this one CNN poll, that would be one thing. But take a look at Reuters/IPSOS. What do we see here? Party with a better economic plan. Well, in May of 2024, just before Donald Trump was re-elected president, Republicans had a nine-point advantage,” Enten said.
“Look at where we are now in May of 2025. The advantage actually went up by three points. Now, Republicans have a 12-point advantage when it comes to the party with a better economic plan. And again, this is after months of economic — supposed economic uncertainty in which the stock market’s been going bonkers, in which the tariff wars that Americans are against have been going on,” he said.
