John,
The House did it. They passed a $5.5 trillion tax scam that hands enormous breaks to billionaires and corporations while gutting Medicaid, SNAP, education, and more. They chose Elon Musk over your neighbor. Apple over kids’ access to higher education. More yachts (and spaceships) for billionaires over funding for rural hospitals and local health clinics.
But this isn’t over yet.
Now the fight moves to the Senate. And this is our last chance to stop one of the most disastrous tax bills in modern history. The Senate must choose whether to rubber-stamp this economic warfare or stand up for the working people of this country.
This bill would make Trump’s 2017 tax cuts for the rich permanent, showering the 400 richest Americans with $800 million in annual tax breaks, handing mega-corporations another $75 billion, and giving the top 0.1% a $107,000 bonus every single year.[1] The rest of us? We get cuts to food and healthcare. That’s not reform. It’s a shakedown.
Help us turn up the pressure on the Senate before it’s too late.
While the rich get tax breaks, the rest of us get cuts to Medicaid and SNAP—over $1 trillion in cuts—directly threatening seniors, children, people with disabilities, and millions of working families. Plus a huge increase in the national debt.
And once the ink dries, you can bet Republicans will come back and use that big debt hike as an excuse to slash Social Security, Medicare, and every program that makes America work.
They say it’s about “fiscal responsibility.” But if it were, they’d be closing loopholes, not creating more. They’d be better taxing billionaires, not giving them more tax breaks.
We’ve got a plan: Capitol Hill lobbying, state-level organizing, and a full-on digital blitz aimed at key Senate votes. But none of it happens without you.

John,
The GOP just pushed their billionaire tax giveaway through the House. It's official: they voted to rob working families to pad the pockets of the ultra-wealthy. Most of its $5.5 trillion in tax cuts will go to the rich, paid for in part with cuts to Medicaid, food assistance and other vital public services—with the rest piled onto the national debt.
This isn’t a tax bill, it’s a heist. Trillions in permanent tax cuts for the rich and corporations, funded by gutting Medicaid, SNAP, education, and other services that working people depend on. House Republicans just told the country that if you’re not rich, you’re not worth it.[1]
We’re talking about $800 million a year in tax breaks to the top 400 richest Americans, $75 billion more to mega-corporations like Apple and Amazon, and $107,000 per year to the top 0.1% through an expanded pass-through loophole.
What do working families get? According to a new analysis by the Penn Wharton Budget Model (Penn Wharton is Donald Trump’s alma mater), households with incomes of $51,000 or less will see their after-tax income decline by roughly $700 starting next year after you factor in cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.[2]
Now the fight moves to the Senate.
Help us fight back now! We need to make sure the Senate knows how toxic this bill is. Rush a donation today to power our campaign against the Billionaire Tax Scam.
The GOP is gambling on apathy, counting on people to tune out while they drain the country’s resources to reward their billionaire backers. But we’ve got news for them: we’re not going anywhere.
We’ve stopped disastrous bills like this before when grassroots outrage forced the Senate to back down. We can do it again, but we need the resources to mobilize fast. Every dollar powers our organizing in key states to stop this bill in its tracks.
Rush a donation now to help us flood the Senate with resistance and keep fighting for tax justice.

Let’s stop this tax scam.
