ICYMI This Week: Congressman Meeks Recognizes the 60th Anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid
| Republicans' Big, Ugly Law Rips Healthcare Away From Working Americans | For 60 years, Medicaid and Medicare have helped Americans receive affordable health care. Under Trump’s Big, Ugly Law, we are facing the largest cuts to health care in history. Republicans’ latest agenda rips coverage away from 15 million people, guts Medicaid protections, and increases costs for millions of Americans. It is clear, the Republicans’ plan will leave families sicker, poorer, and more vulnerable just to pay for tax breaks for their billionaire buddies. Democrats are not going for that! Every day we are fighting for affordable access to health care for the American people. | Meeks, DeLauro, Himes, Raskin Call on Trump to Negotiate End to War in Gaza and Surge Humanitarian Aid | I sent a letter to President Donald Trump calling on him to fulfill his campaign pledge to end the war in Gaza and seriously increase humanitarian assistance to the people in Gaza who are starving, sick, and suffering. | Meeks to Introduce Resolution Terminating Brazil Tariffs | “Donald Trump’s decision to impose 50% tariffs on Brazil isn’t in the interest of American families, who will bear the brunt of these taxes. It’s simply to protect attempted Brazilian coup leader Jair Bolsonaro from prosecution after he, like Trump, tried and failed to overturn the results of a free and fair election.” | Student Internship Opportunities Now Open for the Fall Semester | Want to gain real-world experience, sharpen your skills, and work alongside a passionate, high-energy team?
