Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made headlines on Wednesday after attempting to relabel the GOP-led “One Big Beautiful Bill,” triggering immediate backlash from critics.

Schumer accused President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans of misrepresenting the bill’s real consequences, stating that it should be renamed the “Well, We’re All Going To Die Act.”

He claimed the legislation would strip health care from 14 million Americans, eliminate food assistance for 11 million people, and provide “tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of families.”

“Here’s the ‘We Are All Going To Die Act,’” Schumer declared, pointing to a visual aid.

Critics were quick to hit back, mocking the hyperbole. Many noted that if every GOP initiative Democrats branded as “deadly” actually resulted in mass fatalities, most Americans would have died multiple times.

“I’m already dead from Net Neutrality, climate change, sequestration, and building a wall,” one user on X posted.

“I was murdered by the repeal of Net Neutrality,” another replied.

“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 Everyone was going to die if we repealed net neutrality.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,” wrote AG Hamilton.

“It really is like the Reason video when they mocked these clowns for saying ‘people will die’ anytime a Republican proposed anything,” another user commented, sharing the video.

“No one should ever – ever – take these people seriously ever again ever,” added CNN GOP commentator Scott Jennings.

In the meantime, a new poll from CNN delivered a blow to Democrats, showing they’re trailing Republicans significantly on economic issues.

Despite sustained efforts by Democrats and media allies to paint President Trump’s tariff strategies as economically dangerous, CNN data analyst Harry Enten noted the narrative isn’t resonating with voters.

“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,” Enten said 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,” he explained.

“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?” Enten exclaimed.

The host then asked, “How is that — when we look for trends, how is that trending with other data that you’re pulling in?”

“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 continued.

“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.
