Republicans just voted to move forward with a plan to rip healthcare and food assistance away from working people all to pay for a tax cut for billionaires.
Every single Democrat voted against this.
We can't let them get away with this Republican Rip-Off. Make your voices heard!

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care.
They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely.
