Last night, Trump’s Bootlickers in Congress very narrowly (217-215) passed the MAGA budget resolution. I’ll let the provisions speak for themselves.
* $4.5 trillion tax cut for the wealthiest 0.1% of Americans
* Defunds the IRS, leaving $114 billion in unpaid taxes on the table
* $880 billion in spending cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security
* $230 billion in cuts to food assistance programs
I PROUDLY voted “hell no” on this bill, and I’ll do so again when it comes time to vote on the final budget.
In the run-up to this vote, thousands of furious Americans showed up to town halls demanding answers from their Republican representatives. A few House Republicans even wrote a panicked letter to Mike Johnson asking for more caution in Medicaid and Medicare cuts.
But after all that hemming and hawing, just ONE lone House Republican voted against last night’s resolution.
The MAGA party is in a Catch-22 of its own making. Democrats can (and will) fight to save Medicare, Medicaid, and vital food assistance programs. But history tells us Trump’s Bootlickers will forget their momentary misgivings and fall in line when it comes time to pass the final budget.
So now we’re at an impasse, folks.
As a minority opposition party, we’ll do everything in our power to protect the tens of millions of Americans who rely on these vital programs. But those efforts must go hand-in-hand with a smart media strategy to hold Trump accountable for his laundry list of broken promises.
I’ll be on the front lines of the public opinion battle, delivering this message everywhere I can. If you’d like to support my efforts, consider setting up a $5 monthly contribution. Then, when MAGA is defeated and our Republic is secured, we’ll start cleaning up this mess together. [[link removed]]
