The GOP budget bill would be the biggest transfer of wealth from the POOR TO THE RICH in U.S. history. While millions would lose health care, jobs, and food assistance, billionaires and corporations would collect TRILLIONS in tax cuts. The House must defeat this shameful bill.

So what are we calling the purchase of Lisa Murkowski's vote this time? - The Polar Payoff? - The Kodiak Kickback? - The Denali Deal? - The Glacier Grift? - The Ketchikan Carveout? - The Tundra Tradeoff? - The Bering Buyoff? - The Frontier Favor? - The Seward Sweetener?

It’s not obvious to me why this isn’t a bigger story. Of course whether or not it passes is the main thing, and the impacts are the next thing, but none of this can be understood without understanding how totally insane and poorly written this law is. It’s just vandalism.

3 years ago today I was diagnosed with cancer, giving me a first-hand look at the costs of healthcare. The budget bill currently being debated would put that care out of reach for millions—including those suffering from cancer and other serious diseases. It must be stopped.

When Gabe Evans votes to kick his own voters off Medicaid, don't let him pretend he didn't know who he was hurting. He knows. He just doesn't care.

The degree of outright lying by Republicans about one of the most consequential bills in history is truly insane. Traditional news outlets are accurately covering the bill—but Trump voters (who will acutely feel the pain) won’t see any of the coverage until it’s too late.
