MAGA influencers are out in full force tonight, making up things that were not in this resolution.
Congrats on getting your $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, $19 trillion in added deficit spending, and $880 billion in Medicaid cuts through this initial step, though.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Last week, the Senate GOP passed a budget that included a $150B increase in military spending.
This week, the House GOP will vote on its own budget — which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for more billionaire tax cuts.
This isn't about what we can "afford."
