The people-hurting billionaire budget has been passed by the House of Representatives and is now before the Senate. Call and write your Senators to demand they vote NO!

Here what’s in Trump and MAGA’s budget:

• Cuts to Medicaid and other health care programs that would strip health care away from 13.7 million workers and slash nearly 500,000 care jobs in 2026 alone, forcing hospitals, clinics and nursing homes — especially in rural and lower-income communities — to close. Such a massive loss of coverage will ultimately force health care costs to rise for everyone.
• Medicare cuts will be triggered by the increased deficit projected from the budget that would slash Medicare funding by up to 4% annually starting in 2026 that would harm low-income seniors who depend on both Medicaid and Medicare, as well as hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care providers.
• Cuts $300 billion to SNAP food assistance that 42 million people, or almost 13% of U.S. residents, use each month thereby slashing more than 140,000 jobs in food processing, school cafeterias, retail, and agriculture
• Bans enforcement of state and local AI regulations for the next ten years, eliminating protections and safeguards for workers and consumers and benefiting Big Tech companies.
• Drains critical funding for green energy jobs, destroying good jobs families depend on and driving up prices as working-class households are already struggling.
• Reductions to federal workers’ retirement benefits that impose a monetary penalty on those who choose to retain their rights and then charging a fee when they try to enforce those rights.
• Massive tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy and powerful corporate interests will increase the deficit: More than $5 trillion in tax cuts by extending and expanding the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA): A permanent extension of the individual income tax cuts in TCJA. A permanent and increased tax deduction (to 23 percent) for owners of “pass-through” businesses. Increases to state and local tax (SALT) deduction caps, from $10,000 to $40,000 for filers making less than $500,000 per year. Increases the estate tax exemption to $15 million. 100 percent tax credit for donations to private school voucher groups, up to a maximum reimbursement of $5 billion nationwide per year (up to 2029), on gifts of corporate stock.
• Increased tax burden on low and middle incomes. After-tax income: People making less than $17,000 a year LOSE $1,000. People making between $17,000 and $51,000 a year LOSE $700. People making over $4.3 million a year GAIN $389,000.
• Child tax credit income eligibility lowered, making millions of children ineligible. Eliminates access to the child tax credit for 4.5 million citizen children who reside within immigrant family households. $1,000 fee on migrants seeking asylum and $3,500 fee on families to reunite with children who arrived alone at the border.
• Adds $150 billion to Defense Department bringing military spending to $1 trillion in 2026.
• Increases funding to Department of Homeland Security including $51 billion for a border wall; $45 billion for family detention camps (13 times its annual budget); $27 billion for agents.
• Prohibits federal courts from enforcing contempt orders unless the plaintiff posted a bond at the outset of the case Over 130 school desegregation orders, civil rights cases, and regulatory cases could become unenforceable, undermining judicial independence.
• Gives the administration power to define nonprofits as “terrorist-supporting organizations” without cause and revoke their tax status to suppress free speech and activism.
