Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer mockingly renamed the Republican-led “One Big Beautiful Bill” the “We’re All Going to Die Act,” citing claims it would strip health care from 14 million people, cut food aid for 11 million, and funnel tax cuts to billionaires—all allegedly on the backs of families. He held up a poster during the speech, labeling it “UNHINGED,” and drew immediate backlash from conservatives who dismissed his warnings as repeated scare tactics that fall flat .
Critics on social media poked fun at Schumer’s dramatics, citing past over-the-top rhetoric tied to issues like net neutrality and climate policy. One user quipped, “I’m already dead from Net Neutrality, climate change, sequestration, and building a wall,” while another wrote, “I was murdered by the repeal of Net Neutrality”.
Commentators argue that Schumer’s doom-saying undermines the credibility of genuine policy concerns and fails to resonate with a public desensitized to hyperbole .
