John xxxxxx, I just finished my latest brief on Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, which has passed the Senate.
I cannot explain enough how heartless this bill is, and how deeply devastating it will be to the people in our state.
Here’s the snapshot: If you’re a multimillionaire, this bill is for you. Congratulations. But if you’re everybody else — all of our working families, our seniors, our public servants — you are getting hosed.
Close to 200,000 Marylanders could lose their health coverage. And rural hospitals in Maryland could lose a quarter of a billion dollars in funding.
To our working families who are just trying to take care of each other, our seniors who deserve to age in dignity, to people with disabilities, to everyone who has earned SNAP: They’re trying to take food assistance away that helps you pay for groceries and provide for your families.
The Trump administration has already tried to sever the relationship between the federal government and our states. But this bill severs the relationship between the federal government and its people.
There’s one thing I know about this state, though: We are resilient. We stay together. And Marylanders leave no one behind.
I’ll keep you posted.
Elevate,
Wes
