For a robust rundown of what exactly is in the current House version of the reconciliation bill, please check out Women Forward’s summary here! Key points:
Trump and Republicans are pushing a budget that would take away healthcare from nearly 14 million Americans, including seniors, people with disabilities, and kids, in order to give tax cuts to billionaires.
This budget is a betrayal of our values as a society, prioritizing the wealthy over vulnerable populations.
The Republican plan would raise healthcare costs for working families while cutting taxes for the ultra-wealthy, further widening the income gap.
By cutting Medicaid and food aid programs, Trump's budget would lead to devastating consequences for kids, seniors, and people with disabilities.
Tariffs are causing price hikes on everyday necessities, including groceries, clothing, and electronics, hurting working families.
The wealthy get special treatment under Trump's tariffs, while working Americans face higher costs for basic needs.
Republicans in Congress are willing to sacrifice our lives to give more tax cuts to billionaires.
Their dangerous cuts would lead to tens of thousands of avoidable deaths each year.
The most vulnerable in our communities—seniors, people with disabilities, and kids—would be impacted by these cuts.
Additionally, the Republican plan includes a provision that would "defund" Planned Parenthood, cutting off access to essential healthcare services for millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid.
This move is not just an attack on reproductive rights, but also an attempt to eliminate affordable healthcare options for everyone, particularly low-income communities and people of color.
Shutting down Planned Parenthood health centers would have catastrophic consequences, leaving patients without access to essential preventive care like birth control, cancer screenings, and STI testing and treatment.
Moreover, the budget bill includes a provision that would give Trump even more power to label nonprofits as "terrorist supporting organizations" without due process, allowing him to target political opponents and silence dissenting voices.

Suggest the graphic say “Republicans” not MAGA alone — the “other” Rs try to disassociate from “MAGA” and this is on all Rs, not just MAGA
I don't see anything about the clause letting the executive ignore a judicial nationwide injunction . That's in the bill. If it passes with that in we better get ready to take to the streets.
