BREAKING: Trump megabill passes the House

The House just passed Trump's budget megabill – now we need to pull out all the stops to kill this bill in the Senate.

Harris,

Early this morning, while many of you were probably still asleep, the House of Representatives rammed through Trump's huge, horrific megabill.1

Trump's cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act will strip health care from 13.7 million people.2 Eleven million will lose SNAP benefits, nearly half of them kids.3 Medicare is also cut by $500 million.4

And it's all so they can hand $3.8 trillion in tax giveaways disproportionately to Trump and his billionaire friends.5

This bill is literally the biggest transfer of wealth in U.S. history, and we cannot allow this monstrosity to pass the Senate.

Will you make a donation to help support our emergency effort to stop Trump's savage cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP, and push for other key reforms?

Or, donate another amount

There are so many horrific pieces of this bill that it would be impossible to list them all in one email.

But here are some of the worst:

  • Massive cuts to Medicaid and Medicare
  • $330 billion in cuts to programs aimed at helping people pay back student loans
  • $175 billion for Trump's mass deportation agenda, including nearly $50 billion for his pointless border wall
  • Food stamp work requirements for older Americans living in poverty to age 646
  • A ban on state and local governments regulating AI7
  • Deep cuts to clean energy programs, killing more than 830,000 jobs while increasing pollution8
  • And that's just the beginning…

The good news is that there's deep public opposition to this bill, and even some Republican Senators have begun to object.

Demand Progress Action is flooding Capitol Hill with petition signatures to stop these horrific cuts in the Senate, but with the bill now out of the House, we must ramp up our campaign immediately.

Will you donate $20 to help support our emergency effort to stop Trump's huge, horrible megabill, and push for other key reforms?

With gratitude,
