It can’t get any clearer… the GOP is taking #Medicaid from nearly 12 million people, gutting the program by nearly $1 trillion just to pay for tax cuts. Nobody asked for this. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it.  Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest. This bill would kick millions off their health insurance, and thousands will even lose their lives

Republicans are putting 17 million lives at risk in their “Big Beautiful Bill.” These are more than just numbers. These are real people who deserve to live a life without worrying they will go broke if they need health care.

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked my amendment to ensure Veterans, foster kids and the homeless aren’t denied SNAP benefits. There is no one Republicans won’t betray to ram through tax cuts for their billionaire buddies.

After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered. I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.

If you think it's so immaterial, maybe call a few seniors in nursing homes and explain to them where they'll go next. Call the mom of a kid with disabilities who won't be able to pay for a new wheelchair. Call just one person whose life you're going to tear apart.

Meanwhile Senator Eric Schmitt voted for a bill that would gut #Medicaid and harm #Disabled people like his son. Come on POLITICO where’s the question about that?!

In just North Carolina, 651,982 people will lose health insurance, energy bills will go up $700 a year, 42,000 jobs will be lost, and at least 142,000 people will go hungry — and you voted for it.   Oh, and your bill will actually cost the poorest Americans $1,600/year. I read

Politicians shouldn’t pick their own voters. Michigan addressed this with a nonpartisan commission to draw districts. But if President Trump and Republicans in Texas are rigging the game and going nuclear, Democrats need to fight without one arm tied behind our back.

Nicole Jorwic The data is clear: Medicaid cuts will have far-reaching and devastating consequences for our healthcare system. Congress needs to #CancelCutsToMedicaid and prioritize the health and wellbeing of our communities.
