MAGA Republicans know that Donald Trump’s Big, Ugly, Unpopular Scam will skyrocket health care premiums and rip away coverage from sixteen million Americans, take food out of the mouths of children, seniors, and veterans, and add almost $2.5 trillion to the deficit. And the American people have now made clear time and time again just how much they hate this bill: it’s wildly toxic and unpopular with majorities across the board.
With the bill now on the ropes, Republicans are now facing the devstasting choice of committing political suicide and putting their constituents in very real danger just to please Trump and their billionaire backers. While Donald Trump tries to manufacture a crisis to distract from his unpopular, toxic bill, working families are stuck with huge cuts to Medicaid, slashed food assistance, and thousands more in costs — if it even passes.
- 🪖 MANUFACTURING CRISIS: Trump deliberately escalated the situation the LAPD said they had under control by sending in Marines and National Guard troops, manufacturing a crisis to turn attention away from Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill which is in serious trouble as the timeline slips.
- 🏥 GUTTING HEALTH CARE AND FOOD ASSISTANCE: Vulnerable Republicans recognize the devastating political consequences of voting to cut 16 million Americans off of health care and gut food assistance to fund massive billionaire tax breaks, and now GOP members in both chambers are bringing forward major changes to the bill.
BY THE NUMBERS:
Trump and the GOP’s bill is a disaster for working families who need assistance most – and the American people are having none of it:
- 🩺 16 MILLION PEOPLE KICKED OFF HEALTH CARE: The CBO has confirmed that Republicans’ Medicaid cuts will result in reduced or cancelled coverage for millions of Americans. Medicaid provides lifesaving care to 1 in 5 Americans, including nearly half of all American children and over 8 million seniors.
- 🛒 NEARLY $300 BILLION IN FOOD ASSISTANCE SLASHED: Republicans’ proposal would cut more than $290 billion from food assistance programs that help over 42 million people purchase fresh produce and other groceries.
- 💸 HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN TAX CREDITS TO BILLIONARIES: Under this budget plan, working-class households will pay thousands more so that billionaires receive a $279,000 tax giveaway.
- 📊 THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICAN OPPOSE CUTTING HEALTH CARE TO PAY FOR TAX CUTS FOR THE ULTRA-WEALTHY: 82% of Americans oppose health care cuts and 76% of Americans oppose tax cuts for the wealthy.
