John, here’s your 60-second download on what’s happening in the Trump administration and the GOP-led Congress this week:
Yesterday, House Republicans passed their dangerous tax bill. It proposes extreme cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP food benefits that low-income, disabled and elderly folks rely on to survive — while providing major tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans. If this bill becomes law, more than 7 million Americans will lose access to essential health care through Medicaid.
The National Weather Service is a vital part of our national response to major weather disasters. Cuts at NWS, FEMA and other government entities hurt the people who dedicate their lives to help struggling communities prevent, prepare and recover from these disasters. With a string of deadly storms hitting communities across the U.S., the Trump administration and DOGE’s attempts to cut funding and reduce staff will have devastating impacts.
Trump’s trade wars and tariff hikes are set to drive up prices at popular retailers like Walmart and Target. This will impact hardworking American families and reverberate through the entire economy — causing uncertainty, impacting Americans’ pocketbooks and hurting small businesses. John, these updates aren’t meant to fear-monger. It’s important to stay informed so we know how to push back and get off the sidelines.
Thank you for your time, The team at Off the Sidelines PAC
