Every Day: Turning Betrayal Into Recovery
Every Day: Turning Betrayal Into Recovery is not a reaction. It is a response-deliberate, strategic, and unforgiving of the lies that passed into law.
In July 2025, the Republican-controlled Congress passed the OBBB-the so-called "Official Big Beautiful Bill." At over 1,000 pages and nearly $3 trillion in scope, the bill was framed as a tax and budget package. But beneath its complexity lay something more dangerous: a legislative blueprint for minority rule, elite preservation, and democratic sabotage. It cut Medicaid. Slashed food assistance. Gutted environmental protections. Expanded tax loopholes for dynasties, monopolies, and extractors. And it passed with almost no honest defense-only silence, misdirection, and party-line votes.
This book is the answer to that silence. Every Day dissects the bill provision by provision, naming who it helps, who it harms, and how it undermines the moral foundation of democratic governance. But it does more than expose. It organizes.
Using a rigorous taxonomy built on nine core democratic purposes-Reducing Poverty, Encouraging Work, Building National Capacity, Protecting Health and Environment, Strengthening Families, Preventing Wealth Hoarding, Accelerating Innovation, Exposing Giveaways, and Documenting Harm-this book reframes the OBBB not by agency or section, but by the question that matters most: who benefits, and who is betrayed?
Inside, readers will find:
A system of moral classification for every major provision in the bill, mapped to real consequences.Specific, sourced indictments of the bill's effects on health, labor, education, environment, and civic trust.Strategic sabotage analysis revealing how complexity was weaponized to hide cruelty.Ten chapters, each concluding with ten real questions Republicans cannot answer-designed for campaign use, town halls, interviews, and direct confrontation.Appendices offering organizing tools, tracking grids, testimony guidance, and ways to speak louder and act faster in defense of the public good.Every Day is a field manual for accountability. It does not traffic in outrage or hyperbole. It tells the truth-fact by fact, provision by provision-and places that truth into the hands of those most affected. It is built not just for understanding, but for use.
Written for activists, candidates, educators, researchers, and voters, this book gives the public a language for what was done-and a way to fight back with clarity and conviction. It is a companion to the American Renewal trilogy and the moral counterpart to a bill that rewards wealth while punishing care, science, health, and fairness.
This is not just a book about what happened. It is a tool for making sure it never happens again.
Because when the betrayal is undeniable, the truth becomes usable-every day.
