Friend,
Late last night House Republicans passed their latest budget by a single vote – with every Democrat voting no. The bill will be devastating for millions of people across the country.
Now, it moves to the Senate where we must continue to fight for the American people. To do that, it’s absolutely critical to help more people understand what’s at stake.
Here’s just a sampling of the disastrous impact:
- Reduce access to Medicaid coverage for up to 14 million people[1]
- Cut food assistance for approximately 3 million households[2]
- Eliminate key investments in clean energy that support jobs and lower costs[3]
- Make permanent tax breaks that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest Americans[4]
These cuts would hit the most vulnerable the hardest – seniors, children, working parents, people living with disabilities. And they’re a conscious choice by Trump and his MAGA allies to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and corporations.
In addition to all of the irresponsible cuts to essential programs, the bill also includes a provision that would limit the power of federal courts to block unlawful or unconstitutional government actions on a nationwide scale.[5] This is an unprecedented effort to weaken judicial oversight and shield Trump’s agenda from legal accountability and must be stopped.
The good news is that there’s still time. The Senate can amend or reject the most harmful parts of this bill – but only if people are paying attention.
Thanks for being part of this work,
Zach, People For the American Way
