Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

167 years ago the Supreme Court's Dred Scott ruling denied Black Americans citizenship and declared humans property. This embodiment of white supremacy was only overturned after Civil War and constitutional change...and, as we know, the fight continues.

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down.
All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires.
NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.
