Republicans aren't being transparent about what's in their budget, but the math doesn't add up. We're demanding clarity and a budget that works for all Americans.

In the same bill that exempts gun accessories from taxes, Republicans make Medicaid patients pay a sick tax every time they go to the doctor. It's heartless, and it's bad budget policy.

House Republicans just pushed their budget through committee in the most cowardly way. The fight against this budget continues this week — American families deserve better.

Republicans couldn't even pass their own terrible budget out of a committee they control. American families deserve better.

A budget is a statement of morals. Republicans have made their morals clear. Under their budget, kids in Kentucky will go hungry, hospitals will close, and millions will be kicked off their health insurance. All so billionaires pay even less in taxes. I'm voting NO.

Medicaid work requirements are just another way for Republicans to cut Medicaid without having to admit that's what they're doing. They're CREATING red tape so they can take health care away from kids and families.

"Move fast and break things" is no way to operate the government. Not when you're breaking veterans benefits, Social Security checks, and a parent's ability to put food on the table.

Call it the Gulf of Mexico, call it the Gulf of America — bid naming rights out to the SEC schools for all I care. This is a distraction, and we have way too much work to do in Washington to be wasting time on something this stupid.

My 10 year old constituent June is one of the millions of Americans who would be hurt by Republicans' Medicaid cuts. Because of Medicaid, she's able to receive the 24/7 care she needs — at home, with her family. She's just a kid. She deserves better than this budget.

Trump's first 100 days have been an unmitigated disaster. Chaos is a constant in this administration, and Louisvillians are worse off for it — costs are still up, Medicaid and Social Security are on the chopping block, and no one can plan for the future. bit.ly/4iGa7FC

From looming Medicaid cuts to a messy trade war, 100 days under the Trump Administration have left Louisville families unable to plan for the future. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov are united in the fight against this chaos, and we're not backing down.

After just 100 days of Trump's presidency, costs are up, the economy's down, and families are hurting. That's what I heard overwhelmingly at my town halls in Russell and Douglass Hills — Louisvillians are tired of the chaos.

Medicaid isn't always called "Medicaid" — in Kentucky, you might call also call it KCHIP, KI-HIPP, or you might just call it WellCare. If you have insurance through Kynect — that's Medicaid. And that's the health coverage Republicans are coming after. We have to fight back.
