I’m angry. 17 million people could lose their health insurance. Rural hospitals will close. And the national debt will skyrocket. But the fight’s not over. I still believe that hope + action = change. Stay loud. I’m right here with you.

We’re fighting back against the Big Ugly Bill. Democrats have submitted over 400 amendments to call out just how dangerous this bill is. Tune in to hear are a few of mine, because the fight’s not over. This is unacceptable. #KillTheBill

Morning update:. Republican hold outs caved and flipped their vote (not surprised 🤨). The Rule vote passed and now we’re debating the final vote for the Big Ugly Bill. We just need 4 Republicans, out of 40+ who’ve slammed the Medicaid cuts or opposed adding $5 trillion to the

A quick midnight update from the U.S. Capitol. Right now, House Republicans don’t have the votes. 🤔 Why? Because this bill sucks and they know it. A few of them told me why they’re holding out. Listen in.

Cutting Medicaid is straight up dangerous. People will die. We need to invest in health care, not gut it. The fight isn’t over. Keep showing up. Call your representatives.

Nuestro país se encuentra en una crisis de cierre de hospitales rurales, y el “Big Ugly Bill” empeorará la situación. Los hospitales cerrarán. Morirá gente. Este proyecto de ley es peligroso. Voy a votar no.

🚨 From the steps of the US Capitol, I said HELL NO to the Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. It leaves the middle class behind, slashes support for the most vulnerable, and gives billions in tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. I’ll keep fighting to protect our values and our future.

Where will your loved ones go in an emergency? Your rural hospital? Think again. We’re already in a rural hospital closure crisis, and the Big Ugly Bill will make it worse.

❌ I’m a hell NO on the Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill, and you should be too. It raises health care costs for everyone, slashes food assistance for children, veterans and seniors, and increases the national debt by $5 trillion, just to hand tax breaks to billionaires. We’ve got to

🚨 Senate Republicans are rushing to pass Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill,” a dangerous plan that guts health care and slashes food assistance, all while giving $1 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires. Our communities can’t afford these cruel cuts. Speak out. Share this post.
