The major points of the video: 

* Republicans are trying to create $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. 

* Tax cuts will be skewed in favor of the mega rich and corporations. Average American making under $400K will see $1/day tax cut. 

* An American in the 1% richest income group will enjoy $80,540 tax cut. 

* Republicans are looking for $1.5-2 trillion in budget cuts to help pay for the tax cuts. 

* GOP has directed Energy and Commerce Committee to find $880 billion in budget cuts. The Committee runs Medicaid. 

* Medicaid cuts will be called "Work Requirements" and "Per Capita Limits."

* Half the children in the US get their health insurance from Medicaid. Two out of every five births in the US is funded by Medicaid. 

* The GOP has directed the Agriculture Committee to cut $230 billion from its budget. Funding for SNAP, a program that "helps feed 40 million of the most impoverished Americans," 
     is the target for budget cuts here. 

* The GOP has directed the Education Committee to find $330 billion in cuts. The Committee has discussed increasing payments made by students for student aid and getting rid of grants.

* Under the GOP plan, an average student loan payment will increase by $200/month. 

* The budget would kill the ACA's tax credits, so that 20 million Americans will pay far, far more for health insurance.  Four million Americans would no longer be able to afford health insurance. 

* Republicans want to kill green energy tax credits. 

* Republicans want to give $200 billion for their "anti-immigrant agenda": Homeland Security gets $90 billion to deport people, DOJ gets $110 billion for criminalization and detention. 

* The group Americans for Tax Fairness called this proposed budget "All told, this bill would amount to one of the largest transfers of wealth from working people to those at the top in our nation's history."

Sen. Coons Caught in Bald Face Lie Over Claim of $300 Million Worth of Medicine Expiring Because of Trump

Coons stated on social media that the drugs, which are used to prevent blindness from a tropical disease, were going to waste. However, Pfizer, the manufacturer of Zithromax, indicates that the antibiotic has a shelf life of 24 months when stored properly, meaning the drugs would not be at risk of immediate expiration unless they had already been sitting unused for two years.

Worse, the photo shared by Coons is an outdated photo with an expiration date of 1/24 on the warehouse packaging.

He's got some strange views, but honestly, he's one of the least concerning appointees so far.  His views on food and chemicals make a lot of sense (even if they are the exception).
