John,

Early this morning, in a vote that went through the night, Senate Republicans passed their budget resolution, which lays the groundwork for massive cuts to Medicaid, nutrition for children, and other vital programs while using procedural tricks to hide the true cost of their multi-trillion-dollar tax cuts for billionaires.

In an unprecedented move, the legislation will use an accounting trick that treats extending tax cuts that are set to expire as having no cost despite their nearly $5 trillion price tag.

Let's be clear: Trump and his allies in Congress are cooking the books in broad daylight. They don't want Americans to know that their scam of a tax bill, which gives trillions in giveaways to their billionaire and corporate donors, costs over $5 trillion. No amount of magic math can change the fact that this tax plan has real costs that will be paid for by workers and families.

Massive cuts to vital government programs like Medicaid and SNAP will raise health care and food prices for millions of families while billionaires pocket the money and the national debt explodes. Working and middle-class families and future generations should not be forced to pay higher prices just to further enrich billionaire elites and the politicians they bought.

Rush a donation right now to power our advocacy and activism campaign, which is telling the American people the true cost of the Trump-GOP budget, which hands trillions of dollars to billionaires on the backs of working people.

Now, the budget moves to the House where they could vote as early as next week. We’re keeping the pressure on swing-district Republicans to side with Democrats in opposing massive cuts to vital services to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich.

Thank you for your support and activism as we fight back against the 2025 Trump-GOP tax scam that puts billionaire tax breaks over the survival of working people.
