Republicans in Congress are in the process of ramming through a budget bill that takes from the poor and gives to the rich, John.

If the GOP gets its way, they plan to slash nearly $1 TRILLION from Medicaid, which will in turn kick 8.6 million people off their health insurance.

Republicans are working to kick millions of people off their health insurance all to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Hands off Medicaid.'

The Squad and other Justice Democrats’ members in Congress have been leading the call against these potential cuts to the programs and services that help our families and communities get by.

The more working-class progressives we have representing us in the halls of power, the stronger our movement will be to stop bad budgets like this. Fuel our 2026 election work by chipping in $5 or more today.
