John: The House GOP is advancing their budget agenda bill this week to a floor vote. The same one that Trump calls his “big, beautiful bill” and what I call his “big, bad, bs reconciliation bill.”

Yesterday, House GOP leadership forced a hearing in the dead of night to discuss the bill with no one watching (not a great sign of faith in their own legislation). It lasted XX hours. As a member of the House Rules Committee, I used my role to call out their betrayal and protect American families from the massive cuts to vital programs Republicans aim to make.

House Republicans have apparently been too busy these past few months lying about cutting Medicaid to finish drafting critical parts of this bill that we have yet to see. But what we do know is that they’re attempting to give millionaires and billionaires the biggest government handout EVER, and to compensate, they’re cutting off 13 million Americans from their healthcare. They want working families to foot these billionaire handouts.

Because of this, my Democratic colleagues and I are a hard NO. Here’s more of what’s in this cruel budget:
GOP BUDGET BILL AKA “ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT”

Here’s what this legislation does:
* Cuts $800 billion in Medicaid spending, enforces a work requirement, and ensures that over 7 million Americans go uninsured.
* Cuts $300 billion in SNAP funding.
* Defunds Planned Parenthood.
* Adds over $200 billion for immigration and defense spending.
* Reverses President Biden’s attempts to curb fossil fuels to help address climate change and makes drilling, logging, and mining less monitored.
* Makes permanent the billionaire tax cuts from Trump’s first term (the whole reason for this bill in the first place).
Next steps:
* This legislation is set for a vote on XX. I will keep you updated on the movement, vote, and any updates as things unfold.

Millions of children and elderly citizens across the country will lose access to food and healthcare so that the 1% can save some money. This legislation is cruel, and it will undoubtedly hurt millions of Americans, plain and simple.

Medicaid cuts threaten access to care for ALL Americans, plain and simple. Cuts to Medicaid will push hospitals, nursing homes, and health clinics into bankruptcy. When those places close, it’s harder for everyone else to get healthcare, too.

Gutting Medicaid, SNAP, Planned Parenthood, and regressing on our climate change mitigation policies… how is this a government prioritizing the people?

I will keep you updated as more unfolds. But know that I promise to be a strong voice of opposition and do everything in my power to protect life-saving resources for you.
