Republicans in Congress aren’t just failing to govern—they are actively working to hand Trump, Elon Musk, and other right-wing billionaires total control over federal spending, government agencies, and even public data. And now that they’ve passed a spending bill that rubber-stamps Trump and Musk’s power grab, Republicans are prioritizing passing the Trump Tax Scam.
Their tax scam would slash funding for essential programs that working families rely on, like Medicaid, Social Security, and food assistance in order to pay for massive tax giveaways to billionaires and corporations.They want to fleece the American people so billionaires can buy another private jet or luxury yacht and they must be held accountable.
How Budget Reconciliation Works—and How Republicans Are Weaponizing It
Republicans are planning to use budget reconciliation – a wonky process that would allow them bypass the filibuster and pass legislation with only Republican votes – to ram through their top priorities: giving the ultra-wealthy trillions of dollars in tax breaks and expecting the rest of us to foot the bill.
They’re planning to slash funding to Medicaid, SNAP, early education programs, and countless other programs that working families rely on in order to give billionaires massive handouts. Hardworking, everyday Americans shouldn’t be paying more in taxes than Elon Musk, but under the Trump Tax Scam, they’re the ones that shoulder most of the burden.
We cannot just let Trump and the Republicans get away with gutting these vital programs. They want to sell out everyday Americans to help billionaires like Elon Musk get even richer.
