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

    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.

    The consequences are brutal and deadly. If they succeed, millions will lose health insurance. 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.

    What is Budget Reconciliation ?

    Budget reconciliation is a wonky process that allows the Senate to bypass the filibuster. So, instead of needing 60 votes for legislation to advance, a reconciliation bill needs just 51 votes to pass.

    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.

    OUR DEMAND: HANDS OFF MEDICAID AND SNAP

    We want Republicans in Congress to feel the heat from their constituents and force them to answer for cutting vital programs to pay for billionaire handouts. 

    And we want to shore up Democrats’ opposition to the Republican tax scam and encourage them to fight for Medicaid and SNAP alongside us.
