John,
House Republicans just voted to pass Kevin McCarthy's debt ceiling disaster—cutting Medicaid, SNAP, veterans care, Social Security Administration funding, child care, and more while protecting tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations.
Speaker McCarthy’s bad deal even includes repeal of IRS funding meant to crack down on wealthy and corporate tax cheats and rolls back environmental protections―a major handout to greedy, polluting fossil-fuel corporations.
Now the fight turns to the Senate, where Democrats must stay united in demanding a clean debt ceiling vote without McCarthy’s devastating cuts. We know we can afford to invest in our future when the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share!
Rush a donation today to fight back against Kevin McCarthy’s bad deal for working people that’s a great deal for tax cheats and fossil-fuel corporations.
In order to secure the votes needed for passage in the House, McCarthy altered his bill at the last minute―making it even worse by adding even more stringent work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP food benefit recipients.[1] These added layers of bureaucratic red tape will result in millions of working people losing health care and nutrition assistance.[2]
After decades of championing massive tax giveaways to the wealthy and corporations, all of which increased our federal debt, the GOP keeps trying to pay for those handouts to the rich by cutting services critical to working families.
Rush a contribution today to stop McCarthy’s bad deal in the Senate and demand a clean debt ceiling vote.

Together, we’re fighting for an economy and a tax system that puts working people first—not millionaires, billionaires, and huge corporations.
