Today, the House voted to pass a bill that would make unprecedented cuts to #Medicaid, #Medicare, and SNAP—all to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
@kevinprindiville.bsky.social called the vote an “unconscionable” choice to abandon seniors.

Trump's budget would bring the Pentagon war machine's funding to over $1 TRILLION for 2026.
That is more than enough to fund Medicaid for 13.7 million people at risk of losing health care.
They are not "cutting costs," they're robbing Americans of programs that help them.

Also worth noting: Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA09) represents a district where a high % of people receive government benefits, including Medicaid, so he just voted to f*** over his own constituents. bluevirginia.us/2025/05/remi...

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Alex Lawson to Rep. Miller-Meeks: Last time you spoke with us you lied to our face and said you wouldn’t vote for Medicaid cuts, but you’ve voted for the largest cuts in the history of the country.
Do you have any comment on the health care that 67,000 people in your district are going to lose?
