John,

This past week, House Republicans began ramming through a budget that’s as immoral as it is cruel, starting with slashing financial aid for college students and dismantling consumer protections that hold Wall Street accountable.

And it’s just the beginning. Next up, they’ll go after Medicaid and SNAP, putting healthcare and food assistance on the chopping block. Why? So they can fund yet another round of tax handouts to their billionaire donors.

Their plan cuts higher education aid for millions, strips away student loan relief, and raises taxes on working families with kids in college by eliminating the American Opportunity Tax Credit and by taxing scholarships as income. That’s not reform. That’s sabotage.[1]

At the same time, they’re trying to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a watchdog agency that has returned over $19 billion to scammed consumers.[2] These attacks by right-wing members of Congress don’t protect Americans, they protect predatory lenders, billionaire tax dodgers, and corporate profiteers.

We’re fighting this budget with everything we’ve got. And, already, our grassroots pressure is working with House Committees announcing delays in their upcoming votes on Medicaid and SNAP cuts and their renewal of the Trump-GOP tax scam.

We’re fighting back against a full-frontal assault on working families.

Donate now to power our campaign to stop the GOP's plan to gut healthcare, education, and nutrition benefits to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

If the GOP gets its way, we’ll see catastrophic cuts to Medicaid and SNAP programs that serve over 80 million Americans, while extending Trump’s tax scam for the ultra-rich. It’s no coincidence that House Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to fast-track a vote on this budget before Memorial Day and their related tax bill that would blow a $5 trillion hole in our budget over a decade.[3]

This is not fiscal responsibility, it’s a government of, by, and for the billionaires. And it’s paid for by seniors, students, and working families just trying to make ends meet.

We’ve beaten back right-wing draconian policies before. We can do it again, but only if we have the grassroots firepower to expose the truth and demand a better deal.

Chip in now to help us stop this dangerous, billionaire-backed budget from becoming law.
