It’s extra important for GOP senators to hear from their constituents right now. While Republicans try to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts, tell your senators to reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve. 👇

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

My 90-year-old mother in New Hampshire is among those who rely on this program to make ends meet and live in some modicum of comfort. But hey, Republicans’ billionaire buds need their 5th yacht and 10th mansion so I guess my mom has to just suck it up and go without heat.

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

Sen. Cory Booker is out here having another moral moment—and we need it. Real leaders don’t traffic in fear. They lift us up. They remind us that we have the power—power in unity, in collective action, in showing up for each other. That’s the kind of leadership we deserve. @booker.senate.gov
