Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

Republicans don’t cut deficits. They add to them. They complain about “runaway government spending” and stick it to the poor while slipping millions of $$ to their super-rich donors.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Rep. LaMonica McIver being charged by Trump’s DOJ for “assaulting” a cop is particularly scary because it was all on camera with many witnesses and the administration feels comfortable enough to straight up lie with impunity and target a sitting congresswoman

The bottom 60% of US households can’t afford the basic costs of living. How do Trump and Republicans respond? Cutting Medicaid, Social Security, and SNAP. For Trump, tax cuts for billionaires are more important than Americans being able to afford the basics.

Chris Murphy: "What we're standing in the way of is the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich in the history of the country ... these guys are running the economy recklessly because all they care about is the health of the Mar-a-Lago billionaire class."

The MAGA tax package passed by Ways & Means somehow manages to INCREASE taxes by $6-$8 BILLION per year on the poorest (income less than $30K) while LOWERING taxes for millionaires and billionaires (top quintile of income) by $275-$300 BILLION. hillheat.com/files/427/di...
