“Republicans in Congress just passed legislation that will rip health care from our families to line the pockets of the mega-rich. We should make health care better for everyone, not take it away.” –April Verrett, President, @seiu.org

We have the means to ensure health care access for ALL Americans. Congressional Republicans need to prioritize their Main Street constituents over their Wall Street donors!

Once again, @repjasmine.bsky.social is right on the nose. Stealing health care and food assistance from working-class families by destroying Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires a tax handout is immoral. PERIOD.

Medicaid covers 41% of the births in the United States. Destroying Medicaid means children and families will needlessly suffer.

The Republican Big Beautiful Betrayal bill includes more than $1 trillion in health care cuts. That’s TRILLION with a T. All to give the super-wealthy another tax handout for yachts and spaceships.

Senator Joni Ernst has already said she can’t wait for you to die. She also can’t wait to get in an elevator to avoid answering questions about her support for the Big Ugly Bill.

The head of Social Security has said he’s “fundamentally a DOGE person.” The DOGE that fired thousands of workers, threatened to shut down offices, and is now rifling through Americans’ personal data? Elon Musk may be out of the picture, but DOGE is still creating chaos.

"No one, not even presidents or Social Security commissioners, has ever had this kind of access before. Social Security has always kept this data extremely secure. Now, DOGE operatives have copied it to unsecure locations, where it is vulnerable to hacking."

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

The Republican plan to destroy Medicaid will result in 51,000 people needlessly dying every year. HANDS OFF MEDICAID.

Everyone in America should be worried about DOGE having access to private Social Security data The damage that DOGE operatives could do with this information, or that a hacker could do, is immense.

We save Medicare and Medicaid―district by district― by making sure the American people have their voices heard in Washington, DC. Call 202-224-3121 and demand HANDS OFF OUR HEALTH CARE.

ICYMI: Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) flippantly admitted that the Republican budget would kill people in order to pay for the biggest tax cut for the rich in history.

For WEEKS, Republicans have ducked questions about what would happen to the 16 million people who would lose health care as a result of the cuts in their Big Beautiful Betrayal Bill that cuts trillions in taxes for the wealthy.

SHAME: more than 50,000 Americans will die every year as a result of Trump’s plan to cut health care to cover tax cuts for the rich.

The Trump Administration has been clear that its vision of “efficiency” involves Americans waiting in longer lines for less reliable information, so that the ultra-rich can get a trillion-dollar tax cut.

Elon Musk used DOGE to spread wild anti-Social Security conspiracy theories, which led to the gutting of the Social Security Administration’s staff and longer wait times, and briefly listed the SSA headquarters as “for sale.” He will not be missed ❤️

The Supreme Court decision allowing DOGE full, unfettered access to the public's most sensitive personal data is a loss for all of us. No one in history -- no commissioner, no president, no one -- has ever had the access that these DOGE minions have.

Trump’s big, beautiful BETRAYAL contains: ❌ Over $1 trillion in health care cuts ❌ Over $800 billion in Medicaid cuts ❌ Almost $300 billion in ACA cuts ❌ A TRILLION DOLLAR TAX HANDOUT FOR THE ULTRA-RICH

The Big, Ugly Bill accomplishes absolutely nothing but making America a more horrible place by throwing 13.7 million people off their health insurance while adding $3 trillion to the national debt. It’s all about the tax cut for the rich. STOP THE BIG, UGLY BILL!!!

So the CBO score of the actual bill is WORSE than before. 16 MILLION PEOPLE will lose health care. And all the cuts are for naught- it still adds $2.4 trlliion to the debt. So it’s only designed to do what it was always designed to do: to give a tax cut to the richest Republican donors.

We asked Republican Sen. Joni Ernst from Iowa what her response was to 51,000 more Americans dying every year due to the GOP plan to cut Medicaid in the big, beautiful betrayal. She ran away from us– with a smile on her face. Who thinks she should lose her job?

Trump, Musk, and Republicans’ efforts to dismantle our Social Security means families have to wonder how they will pay for loved ones' housing. People pay into Social Security their ENTIRE lives — and it needs to be there for us when we retire.

Every human being matters. No one should die so billionaires can get even richer. Hands off Medicaid.
