Big. Ugly. Cuts.
It seems like every day there’s a new shocking headline from across the country. Just in the last week, Elon Musk and President Donald Trump had an explosive falling out over the disastrous “One Big Beautiful Bill” that the GOP is trying to push through Congress. You might remember this bill as the one that would cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid, stripping access to lifesaving medication, medical procedures, and care from more than tens of thousands of Washingtonians.
We’ll be candid. In its current form, this bill would be devastating for nearly everyone in our state. By slashing vital funding for food, health care, and other services, Trump’s bill will force Washingtonians to choose between more state taxes and seeing their neighbors suffer. If you agree we can’t let that happen, then who should pay? We say the super-rich should pay, but they are the ones benefiting most from Trump’s massive tax cuts for billionaires and mega-millionaires.
The bill is currently headed to the U.S. Senate, and it may still have to go back to the House for another vote, so we have a chance to make a difference right now. Congressmen Dan Newhouse (Yakima) and Michael Baumgartner (Spokane) were the only Congressmembers in Washington state to vote for this backwards bill the first time. Can we count on you to take action – no matter where you are in the state – using our action link to make clear to your Representatives that you don’t support slashing benefits just to give the super rich another handout.
Thank you!
