Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is ugly — and it’s cruel.
It’s going to kick millions of Americans off Medicaid. It’s going to absolutely gut SNAP. Hospitals will close. Kids will go hungry. Elders will die. Our local economies will feel the pain.
But the question at hand isn’t how bad this bill is. By now, you know how bad it is.
The real question is: How did we get here? Are there really 50 Republicans in the US Senate willing to sell their constituents to the highest bidder?
Let me tell you the truth: Bills like these happen when we elect spineless leaders who are bought and sold by corporate special interests.
There were a few Senate Republicans who tried to make changes to this bill. A handful that tried to stand up for Medicaid, or save SNAP benefits. But at the end of the day, the corporate donors running Washington squashed them. Republicans fell in line, and sold all of us out to serve giant corporations and the wealthiest people in America.
It’s time for a new generation of leaders in Washington. Ones who have the guts to do the right thing, even when it’s hard. Leaders who can say no when powerful interests come calling, because they refuse to cash their check.
I need your help.
We need to prove our movement is stronger than their money. We need to prove that we can win a new era of leadership and stop the dysfunction in DC.
First, we need to make our voices heard on Capitol Hill. We will not go quietly as they rip away healthcare and food from millions of Americans. Let’s jam the switchboards: Call Republicans in Congress at 202-224-3121 and say NO to Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.
You can find your representative here, or leave a message for Speaker Mike Johnson’s office.
Then, we need to prepare for the fight ahead. We have 16 months to organize an unbeatable grassroots movement that can flip the Senate and House blue and give us the power we need to rebuild.
So sign up to volunteer, donate what you can, or share resources to your networks.
This fight doesn’t end here - it’s just beginning.
Thanks for standing with us in this fight.
