They want to cut $880 billion from it, and early estimates tell us that would threaten health care for 80 million Americans. They’re saying that care won’t be affected, it’ll be fine, don’t worry about it — and that’s all a lie.

John, Ruben here.

The GOP passed Trump’s framework for the budget they want last week. It’s one step in a long process to give Elon Musk and a bunch of other billionaires a massive tax break.

It’s light on specifics, but what it does include is bad. Real bad.

The biggest cut targets Medicaid. They want to cut $880 billion from it, and early estimates tell us that would threaten health care for 80 million Americans. They’re saying that care won’t be affected, it’ll be fine, don’t worry about it — and that’s all a lie.

You can’t take $880 billion out of Medicaid without impacting care. You just can’t. It’s impossible. But if Trump and the GOP get one big thing passed in Congress this year, they want it to be this.

They want to give trillions in tax breaks for billionaires and millionaires and massive corporations. They want to gut programs millions of people depend on to pay for it. And they’re destroying our economy while they do it — raising prices for people who can’t afford it, endangering jobs, slashing retirement funds.

I know what it’s like to struggle to make ends meet. I watched my mom go through it, and I worked all the way through school to help. It sucks. It takes a huge toll on you.

Trump and the GOP want to take what little help struggling people have and give trillions of dollars to the richest people in the country. Nah.

Not on my watch. Not while I’m in the Senate. As long as I have breath in my lungs I am going to stand in their way. People are depending on us, and we can’t let them down.

Time to saddle up and get to work. Hope you’re with me.

Semper Fi,

Ruben

Trump, Elon, and the GOP want us afraid.

They’re hoping we won’t stand against them.

They’ve got another thing coming.

We’re going to need to fight harder than ever to stop them, but we can defeat them if we stay united.

Help Ruben keep up the fight by chipping in whatever you can afford today.
