Bill is Kindly Asking Republicans to Stop Calling Him ‘Big’ and ‘Beautiful’

A man named Bill has emerged from a self-imposed social media hiatus with a heartfelt plea to Republicans: stop calling him "big" and "beautiful."
President Donald Trump and House Republicans recently passed a sweeping tax and spending package through the House, a piece of legislation Trump has repeatedly dubbed his "big, beautiful bill."
The bill, which extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, boosts military and border security funding, and slashes programs like Medicaid, has sparked widespread debate—but Bill thinks the chatter is all about him.
Bill, a 42-year-old self-described online activist, gained 30 pounds over the past year as a form of protest against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again agenda, which promotes fitness, a healthy diet, and wellness. He insists he’s fully comfortable with his beauty but finds the "big" label deeply offensive.
"I know I’m beautiful, and I’m proud of that," Bill said. "But calling me big is just cruel. I’ve been working through a lot of emotions since I started my protest weight gain, and this kind of language sets me back."
The misunderstanding stems from Bill’s decision to disconnect from social media after his feelings were hurt by online discussions about the "big, beautiful bill."
During his absence, the House narrowly passed the legislation with a 215-214 vote, a move that has drawn criticism for its projected $3.8 trillion addition to the national debt, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Meanwhile, Bill was busy journaling about his journey of self-acceptance, completely unaware of the political firestorm.
"I thought people were talking about me," Bill admitted, wiping a tear from his eye. "I mean, I am beautiful, but I don’t need the whole world pointing out my size."
The bill now heads to the Senate, where Republicans are expected to make changes amid concerns from fiscal conservatives about the deficit.
Democrats have slammed the package, arguing it prioritizes tax cuts for the wealthy while cutting aid for low-income Americans.
Bill, however, remains focused on his personal struggle. "I just want to be seen for who I am, not my body," he said. "If people could use more inclusive language, that would really help my healing process."
Bill’s friends have tried to explain the situation, but he remains convinced the nation’s discourse is centered on him.
As the Senate debates the future of the legislation, Bill plans to launch a podcast to discuss his feelings, tentatively titled "Beautiful, Not Big: My Truth." The podcast will likely have nothing to do with tax policy or government spending.
