VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest.
This bill is unpopular because it is wrong.
Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.

Have a working class white guy in your life who still supports Republicans, or who’s “apolitical”?
Here are some *great* talking points on how the GOP, directed by the Heritage Foundation, intentionally disempowered the American working class and unions since Reagan.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.
They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Yes, the GOP budget guts Medicaid, SNAP and gives more tax breaks to the mega-rich — but it also:
- Lets Big Oil buy public land to drill
- 10 year ban on state AI regulations
- Tax break on gun silencers
- Restricts funding to nonprofits
- Defunds women's health organizations
