The Budget Bill from Hell
Trump and Republicans are betraying ALL Americans with their latest budget bill, which rips away basic needs programs like health care and food assistance that millions of Americans rely on.
Key Topics:
House Republicans' budget bill guts basic needs programs for the most vulnerable Americans to give tax breaks to the rich.
The GOP's plan could throw millions off Medicaid—and that's just the start.
Trump and his family are abusing the presidency to enrich themselves in the Middle East, while taking away health care in Washington.
Republicans continue their attacks on non-profits, by granting the Secretary of the Treasury broad and unilateral discretion to brand any nonprofit in the United States as a “terrorist supporting organization,”
Republicans in Congress are robbing America's future by giving a massive tax cut to the wealthy, cutting Medicaid and cancer research, and gutting public school funding - all while sneaking in a tax write-off for the rich through a national voucher program.
Talking Points:
The House Republican budget bill would take away health care from nearly 14 million Americans and slash food assistance to give more massive tax cuts to the rich.
It would raise health care costs, increase grocery prices, and force kids to go hungry.
This is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in our history.
The budget bill would also slash funding for critical programs like Meals on Wheels, WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), and free and reduced-cost school meals.
Republicans are trying to justify these cuts by claiming they need to reduce the deficit, but in reality, they're just using it as an excuse to give more tax breaks to their wealthy donors.
This budget bill is a clear example of how Trump and Republicans are out of touch with the needs and values of everyday Americans.
Voucher programs are devastating public schools, leading to budget cuts that eliminate essential services and programs.
Voucher programs disproportionately harm rural communities and higher-need students, exacerbating existing educational inequities.
Section 112209: A Threat to Nonprofits and Free Speech
The proposed Section 112209 would grant the Secretary of the Treasury broad discretion to brand any nonprofit as a "terrorist supporting organization" and strip it of its tax-exempt status, without due process or clear guidelines.
This provision is unnecessary, as the government already has authority to prohibit transactions with terrorist-connected entities.
It would open the door to politicized enforcement against nonprofits, allowing the administration to target political opponents, censor media outlets, and decimate community groups.
