Republicans in Congress are readying their budget knives again — and Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are in their crosshairs.
Despite clear polling that even Trump voters oppose cuts to Medicaid, extremist Republicans are preparing to gut this essential program to pay for corporate tax breaks and bloated military spending.
Let’s be clear: This is not fiscal responsibility. It’s a direct attack on working families, the poor, and the vulnerable.
More than 75 million Americans rely on Medicaid. In our community and communities like it across the country, these cuts would devastate families already struggling to make ends meet.
This isn’t just about policy — it’s about our values. And Yvette won’t let MAGA Republicans balance the budget on the backs of those who can least afford it.
Let’s show them that when they come for our communities, we don’t just fight back — we fight forward.
— Team Clarke
