I just spoke on the House Floor to try to amend the rules to prevent any cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in Trump and Congressional Republicans's Big Ugly Bill. Republicans rejected it.

Democrats remain united in our strong opposition to the dangerous GOP budget. There are 220 Republicans in the House. All we need are 4 to join us and we can kill the One Big Ugly Bill.

I’m voting NO on this Big Ugly Bill. It screws over Nevadans—17 million could lose Medicaid, 21,700 clean energy jobs wiped out, 46,000 in my district could lose SNAP, and so much more. Call every Republican. Tell them to vote NO. #killthebill

Republicans claim to be the party of God, but I can't find a psalm that says "Thou shalt make people poorer, hungrier, and sicker.” And that's exactly what their Big, Ugly Bill would do.  We'll continue to resist, obstruct, and use every tool to stop it in its tracks.

We are prepared to stay as long as it takes to protect the American people. The clock means nothing when lives, livelihoods, and Medicaid are on the line. We fight through the night so families don’t suffer in the morning. Vote NO on the Big Ugly Bill. #WeWontLetThem

Jeffries: "This reckless Republican budget is an immoral document, and that is why I stand here on the floor of the House with my colleagues in the House Democratic caucus to stand up and push back against it with everything we have, on behalf of the American people."

Republicans' bill would be absolutely unforgivable. I'm fighting with everything I've got because I see every child who stands to be harmed as my own. I see every elder who stands to be harmed by this bill as my own family. If passed, millions of people could die. And behind

Thank you Hakeem Jeffries for standing up against Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.  People will die as a result of the Republican’s all-out assault on healthcare.  We’re voting HELL NO!

CBC Whip Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove took to the streets to ask: what does the Big Ugly Bill mean for Black folks? The bottom line: it hurts everyone, but especially Black Americans.

Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been speaking on the House floor for over EIGHT HOURS sharing the stories and lifting up the voices of people who would be impacted by Trump's Big Ugly Budget. We will not stop fighting back and speaking out against this evil bill.

This bill passing the House is a defeat. But we must turn this disappointment and anger into work to protect the millions of Americans who this bill will harm.

Republicans are celebrating after they gutted healthcare in their deeply unpopular bill. The American people will remember the cruelty of it all next November. Press on.
