Over the holiday weekend, President Trump signed his disastrous tax giveaway to the ultra-wealthy into law, spelling doom for the finances and livelihoods of working families. The GOP’s disgusting abomination of a bill guts Medicaid, kicks 17 million people off their health insurance, takes food assistance away from millions of Americans, raises energy bills by hundreds of dollars per year, and increases the national debt by trillions of dollars. This regressive, anti-family bill ensures that rural hospitals across the country will close and children, seniors, and veterans will go hungry — all while the ultra-rich get even richer.
