John,
If there was any remaining doubt about MAGA Republicans’ true priorities, Trump’s big, ugly budget bill that passed the House last month tells us all we need to know.
This billionaire tax giveaway is a disaster through and through, paid for by an all-out assault on the American people’s health and safety and a cynical liquidation of our public lands and natural resources. As if that’s not bad enough, the bill also undermines the rule of law and further erodes our basic freedoms, including women’s reproductive rights.
Experts' analyses of the bill are pouring in, confirming just how bad it is. Corporations and billionaires get a huge tax break, Big Oil gets sweetheart deals including millions of acres of pristine public lands opened up for drilling, but what about American families? It turns out
every American household will see higher energy bills, more than 16 million will lose their health care, hundreds of thousands of jobs will be erased, and core government services people count on will be dramatically cut – from the National Weather Service, to the Veterans Administration, to food assistance for the most vulnerable among us.
Even
Medicare, which Trump and MAGA Republicans swore they wouldn’t touch, will see a
$500 billion cut, the largest in history. And on top of all of this,
the deficit will INCREASE more than $2 trillion because of this big, ugly bill.
House Republicans have already bent the knee to Trump and passed this disastrous bill, but now it’s the Senate’s turn. We have one last chance to turn up the pressure and demand that Republicans stop selling out our communities and our future by rubber-stamping Trump’s extreme and reckless agenda.
My Democratic colleagues and I will keep fighting against all of this in Congress. We’ll do our part to maximize political pressure on congressional Republicans in hopes that a few of them will break from Trump and do the right thing. But our surest way to stop this madness is to win back the House majority next year.
We’re at a crossroads, and I need your support to take on the fights ahead. Please, make a grassroots donation of any amount right away:
