STOP THE CUTS

Donald Trump and Republicans are selling us out to make billionaires like Elon Musk even richer. They’re trying to ram through Trump’s tax scam—handing billions to the ultra-wealthy while slashing health care, food assistance, and other programs that everyday Americans rely on to survive. We can’t let them get away with it. Take our pledge to fight for Medicaid and SNAP, and we’ll keep you updated with ways to take action on your home turf.

  • STATE OF PLAY

    • STATE OF PLAY

    Republicans in Congress are on a mission to strip working families of $1.5 trillion in Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential programs—all to pay for more than $4.5 trillion in tax breaks for the super-rich. 

    Here’s just some of the terrible things in the bill:

    • Massive cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that would leave 15 million people without healthcare
    • Denying food assistance to more than 11 million people
    • Attacks on the trans community by banning gender affirming care from being covered by Medicaid or as an essential health benefit for ACA insurance plans
    • Decimated access to reproductive healthcare by defunding Planned Parenthood and banning ACA plans from covering abortion care
    • Higher costs of home utility bills because of cuts to clean energy investments
    • Skyrocking costs of college by eliminating student loan programs and slashing Pell Grant funding

    The consequences are brutal and deadly. If they succeed, millions will lose access to healthcare. Kids will go hungry. Families will face soaring costs for housing, groceries, and care.

    This isn’t a budget. It’s an attack.

    And they know how deeply unpopular it is—that’s why they’re using the budget reconciliation process, a fast-track maneuver to bypass normal debate and accountability, to jam it through with just 51 votes.

    But their grip on power is shaky. Republicans are divided, and their majority is razor-thin. That gives us a powerful opening to fight back—to stall, to block, and to tank this sham bill.

    House Republicans have already passed the bill, but the fight isn’t over. 

    The bill still has to pass in the Senate, so we’re going to turn up the heat there. But if the Senate makes any changes to the bill—and they almost certainly will—that new version of the bill goes back to the House for a final vote. This gives us more opportunities to delay, disrupt, and defeat the Trump tax scam.

    What is Budget Reconciliation ?

    This is a simple story. Republicans want to rob everyday Americans to fund billionaires’ private jets and mega-yachts. They want to gut Medicaid and SNAP so Elon Musk and his billionaire buddies can pile up more money than they can ever spend.

    But they’re scared—because they know the public is against them.

    That’s why they’re hiding behind reconciliation. That’s why they’re rushing. And that’s why our pressure can stop them cold.

    TALKING POINTS

    • Republicans in Congress are selling us out to help billionaires like Elon Musk get even richer. Their tax scam will fleece the American people so billionaires can buy another private jet or luxury yacht.
    • The Republican tax scam includes over $1.5 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, nutrition assistance like SNAP, and other vital programs in exchange for more than $4.5 trillion dollars in tax cuts to the ultrawealthy and big corporations.
    • Millions of Americans will lose their health insurance, children in need will go without school meals, and working families will face higher costs for housing, healthcare, and groceries — all so billionaires can receive massive handouts.
    • Republicans know this is unpopular. That’s why they’re ramming these cuts through via reconciliation, so they don’t have to work with Democrats on a tax plan that would actually benefit working families.
    • There are a number of vulnerable Republicans in Congress who are feeling the pressure from their constituents and are afraid of the political price they’ll pay for gutting Medicaid and SNAP. It’s up to us to keep up that pressure and make them sweat.
    • We want Democrats to oppose the Republican tax scam and do everything they can to fight for working families. It’s not enough to just vote against the bill, we need them out there making noise and publicly exposing the harms of the bill.
