Indivisibles,

The House GOP just passed the “Limit, Save, Grow Act,” a MAGA wish list of
horrific demands that would slash benefits for virtually every group of
Americans imaginable except for the grotesquely rich.

As we detailed yesterday (see that email, below), the bill would remove
people from Medicaid, take food assistance away from millions of seniors
and low-income families, screw over veterans, repeal investments in clean
air and water, and do a laundry list of other terrible things to hurt
working families. These are their demands for not blowing up the world
economy over the debt ceiling.

It was clear this bill would get the support of most of the MAGA fanatics
who basically wrote it -- especially after Kevin McCarthy tried to cement
their support by adding a few more attacks on poor people into the text
late last night.

But this bill could not have passed without the support of the [ [link removed] ]18
Unrepresentatives -- the vulnerable Republicans “serving” in districts
Biden won in 2020:

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE-2), Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR-5), Rep. Juan
Ciscomani (R-AZ-6), Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY-4), Rep. John Duarte
(R-CA-13), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-1), Rep. Mike Garcia (R-CA-27),
Rep. Thomas "Tom" Kean (R-NJ-7), Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-VA-2), Rep. Young Kim
(R-CA-40), Rep. Nicholas "Nick" LaLota (R-NY-1), Rep. Michael Lawler
(R-NY-17), Rep. Marcus "Marc" Molinaro (R-NY-19), Rep. George Santos
(R-NY-3), Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ-1), Rep. Michelle Steel (R-CA-45),
Rep. David Valadao (R-CA-22), Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY-22)

All 18 voted to hold the global economy hostage, threatening a
catastrophic default on our national debt unless the demands of this bill
are met. All 18 sided with MAGA ideologues and their wealthy donors over
their constituents who’d be harmed by these provisions. 

We’re going to make sure every one of their constituents knows about it.
We’re going to make them famous for backing the politically toxic policies
in this bill -- and then we’re going to defeat them in 2024 and retake the
House. 

[ [link removed] ]Can you rush a donation to help our groups hold these members
accountable, and take back their seats in 2024?

We’re planning rallies in these districts. We’re already jamming their
phone lines with angry constituent calls. If we can get enough support,
we’ll put up billboards like the ones pictured below in their districts. 

Fortunately, this bill is going to die in the Democrat controlled Senate.
But its passage in the House complicates this debt ceiling battle and
brings us closer to the brink of default.

Every dollar donated allows us to put more pressure on these vulnerable
Republicans as we enter the key weeks of this default battle. Every dollar
donated allows us to make this vote more politically toxic for them as
they run for reelection next year.

Indivisibles,

As early as tomorrow, the House is scheduled to vote on Kevin McCarthy’s
“Limit, Save, Grow Act,” a wish list of toxic policies concocted by the
most extreme Republicans in the House.

For months, MAGA Republicans have been driving us towards a catastrophic
default on the national debt, which would harm Social Security, Medicare,
and Medicaid, would double unemployment, and would cause a global
recession. Now, they’re offering up McCarthy’s bill as the ransom they
expect ordinary Americans to pay in exchange for averting the crisis
Republicans themselves have created. At the end of the day, this bill
would result in:

* 1.7 million women, infants, and children losing their SNAP benefits,
leading to increases in child hunger and poverty

* $30 billion dollars in cuts to veterans’ programs, making it harder
for veterans to access the medical care they need

* Slashed funding for schools with low-income students and students with
disabilities, resulting in potentially over 100,000 teachers and staff
losing their jobs

* Onerous requirements for Medicaid recipients, potentially causing
millions of people to lose their health care coverage

* $80 billion cut from the IRS budget, making it easier for the
ultra-rich to cheat on their taxes

* The end of Biden’s student debt relief program.

And that’s just a fraction of the harm this bill does. 

This bill is the direct result of concessions McCarthy gave to the
far-right Republicans who made him Speaker. As Matt Gaetz put it, McCarthy
"picked up the House Freedom Caucus plan and helped us convert it into the
legislative text." 

But it’s not just the outspoken MAGA Republicans pushing for draconian
spending cuts. In order for the bill to pass, McCarthy needs every
Republican vote he can get -- including from the Unrepresentatives -- the
18 vulnerable Republicans currently serving in Biden-won districts. 

Many of these Unrepresentatives are getting ready to support the bill even
though they know its provisions are politically toxic. They’re hoping that
party leadership and GOP billionaires will reward them for it. And they’re
praying that their voters aren’t paying attention. 

That’s where we come in. If any of the Unrepresentatives vote for this
bill, we're going to make sure voters in their districts hear about it.
We’ll make them famous for voting to strip benefits away from ordinary
Americans while further enriching their wealthy donors.

[ [link removed] ]With your help, we’ll invest in tactics to make this vote politically
toxic in their district -- including, if we can fund it, billboards like
this one with language tailored to the harmful parts of this bill most
relevant to their district.

Indivisibles in target districts are fighting today to get their Reps to
vote no and pass a clean debt ceiling increase just like they did
throughout Trump’s presidency. 

But we know that many of these members will choose their donors over their
constituents. Let’s be ready to hold those members accountable and make
them own this heinous vote for the rest of their short careers.

Indivisible Team
