Please call 202-224-3121 and ask for Representative Juan Ciscomani - Arizona district 6 - and ask him to vote NO today! Remind him his district will lose 100k Medicaid recipients if the budget passes. Also remind him he won his recent election by only 2.5%.
Trump promised on day one he would bring prices down.
More than a month in and gas, groceries, rent, cars, and eggs all cost more...
And yet what are Republicans focused on today?
Gutting Medicaid so they can give tax cuts for billionaires.

I've been trying to remain calm about what Trump and his pack of hyenas are doing, trying to focus on my day to day: working, writing, attending to those closest to me. It hit me this morning after reading @hcrichardson.bsky.social that I can't sit back anymore.
