Messaging the Republicans' DEAD-OF-NIGHT Budget Betrayal

House Republicans passed their budget bill in a secretive, middle-of-the-night debate to hide from voters that they’re slashing health care funding for working families.

The Republican budget bill is a BETRAYAL of vulnerable Americans. It rips away healthcare, food assistance, and basic needs programs to give tax breaks to billionaires.

House Republicans just passed their Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching megabill (aka the Republican Tax Scam) in a 215-214 vote. The bill got even worse overnight.

Here's a list of just some of the awful things House Republicans voted in favor of.

• The largest cuts to food assistance (e.g., SNAP) in U.S. history, leaving millions of kids and seniors with empty stomachs.

• Higher home electric bills due to huge cuts in clean energy investments.

• Runaway college costs and bigger student loans caused by billions of dollars being cut from loan, loan forgiveness, and Pell Grant programs.

• More challenges to holding Trump accountable after Republicans slipped in a one-sentence provision that would make it extremely difficult for courts to hold Trump administration officials in contempt for violating court orders.

• 10,000 new ICE agents at a time when the agency is arresting political opponents, defying court orders, and deporting U.S. citizens.

• New attacks on the trans community as Republicans inserted a last-minute change banning Medicaid from covering gender-affirming care.

• Tax breaks for people buying gun silencers.

• Millions of patients denied cancer screenings and reproductive care due to the defunding of Planned Parenthood and banning of abortion coverage under ACA insurance plans.

• Hospital layoffs, service cuts, and closures thanks to historic cuts to vital healthcare funding.

• 14 million people kicked off their healthcare due to major cuts and restrictions on Medicaid and other healthcare programs, like the Affordable Care Act.

This fight isn’t over, and this bill can still be stopped our drastically changed in the Senate over the coming weeks and months!
