Friend,
The Senate could vote as soon as today on a dangerous funding bill that just passed the House – and tomorrow night’s deadline is the last chance to stop it.
This bill, backed by President Trump, proposes significant cuts to essential programs like veterans’ benefits, disaster relief, aviation safety, and cancer research – all to justify massive tax breaks for billionaires. The legislation also strips away hundreds of specific funding directives that normally ensure key programs receive the resources they need, giving the administration far more discretion to shift priorities and withhold funds from programs Trump and Musk oppose.
Congressional Democrats are fighting back. They’re leading the charge to reassert Congress’s constitutional authority over federal spending, ensuring taxpayer dollars are allocated as intended, not manipulated at the discretion of Trump and Musk. But with the Senate vote imminent, there’s no time to waste.
If the Senate doesn’t reject this bill or pass these vital amendments, here’s what’s at stake:
🚨 Delayed Social Security checks for millions of seniors who rely on them to make ends meet.
🚨 FEMA funding cuts, leaving communities defenseless in the face of natural disasters.
🚨 Cancer research slashed, putting lifesaving treatments on the chopping block.
🚨 Less safe air travel, with cuts to aviation safety oversight.
🚨 $23 billion in veterans’ benefits eliminated, gutting healthcare and support programs for those who served our country.
Congress – not Donald Trump and Elon Musk – has the constitutional authority to decide how taxpayer dollars are spent. This is why it’s urgent that the Senate blocks this dangerous bill and ensures funding decisions remain in the hands of elected representatives, not billionaires and extremists.
If Republicans wanted a responsible, bipartisan funding plan, they would have proposed one. Instead, they’re ramming through brutal cuts that harm working people while protecting the ultra-rich.
We cannot let them get away with this. The Senate vote is imminent – call now and demand your senator stand up for everyday Americans. >>
Every call makes a difference. Let’s fight back together.
