Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s bullshit of a bill—and it’s even uglier than before.

— At least 16 million could lose healthcare
— Trillions will be added to the deficit
— Hospitals will close
— Children will go hungry

Now it comes back to the House.

Trump’s Murder Bill is through the Senate, but this isn’t over. Every last patriot should call their rep and let them know you oppose it: (202) 224-3121

Make no mistake, not a single Republican seat is safe in '26, so each call means more than you think.
