Slashing Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax cuts is deeply unpopular with the American people, and House Republicans are going to keep finding that out.

NEW AD: Leb, a veteran from Virginia, voted for Trump because he promised to lower costs and protect jobs. Now, as Republicans in Congress try to pass massive tax breaks for billionaires, Leb has one question for Trump: “Whose side are you on?”

Trump is not using these tariffs to protect American jobs (if so, they'd be targeted). He's not using them to stem the flow of fentanyl (if so, he'd close the de minimus loophole). These tariffs will hurt and the purpose is to line billionaire pockets with more tax cuts.

The nonpartisan scorekeepers at CBO agree: following the plan they've already voted on, Republicans will HAVE to slash Medicare or Medicaid (probably both) to pay for their billionaire tax cuts. washingtonpost.com/business/2025/…

“Morale is in the toilet,” the employee said. “We all know what DOGE wants to do, which is just break us, so they can privatize us.” This employee nails it: the Republican effort to slash Social Security to pay for billionaire tax cuts is well underway. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

👋Fellow Democrats, the party needs to rethink all the anti-tariff absolutism. I’m a Rust Belt Democrat from swingy Western PA—where lousy trade deals like NAFTA stripped us for parts. Democrats need to break free from the zombie horde of neoliberal economists who think tariffs

Cuts to Social Security are not a far-off possibility in the future, they’re happening *right now* — in the form of closed field offices and terrible service. This paves the way for even further cuts later. Why? To pay for more tax cuts for billionaires. familiesoverbillionaires.org/republicans-ar…

They are standing between seniors and the Social Security benefits they've earned, they're doing it right out in the open, and it is to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Keep saying it. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Yeah, turns out voters across the political spectrum don't like it when you take away their health care to pay for billionaire tax cuts. politico.com/newsletters/po…

Grateful to (((Jacob Bogage))) for covering The Budget Lab's new report on the distributional effects of the House-passed Budget Resolution. Overall: huge tax cuts for higher-income families are partially paid for by cutting healthcare and SNAP, *raising costs* for the bottom 40%

Out of the bag indeed: they won't stop until they've delivered more tax cuts for billionaires, paid for by cutting off access to Social Security benefits, veterans benefits, Pell, Medicaid, SNAP, etc.

"they don’t yet have 50 for budget res" is actually the headline here -- we're talking about a 53-47 Senate. Strong and sustained public opposition can work!

It’s Tax Day — a perfect reminder of all the ways Trump, Musk, and Republicans in Congress are trying to rig the system against working families. Don’t just take our word for it. Elon Musk’s own AI assistant, Grok, agrees.

Biden IRS made it free and simple for you to file your taxes directly. The Trump Admin is making you go back to TurboTax. Shameful.

Let me translate. Trump knows they are taking on water for pushing a giant billionaire tax cut. So every so often, he floats a tiny symbolic change, but then has to immediately disavow it. Because, fundamentally, rich people tax cuts are the core GOP agenda. Rinse and repeat.

republicans are using current policy scoring for their tcja extension but current law scoring for their ctc boost. can't put into words just how profoundly gimmicky what they're doing is. breaks every rule of scoring. may as well just make up numbers and repeal the budget act.

There is nothing moderate about this plan! As it stands now, 13 million people could lose coverage - that’s the entire population of Pennsylvania. Not one person should lose their health care to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations.

House Rs’ tax bill includes a new federal tax credit to subsidize private school vouchers — effectively the first nationwide voucher program. Plus, it’s structured as a costly tax break for the wealthy w/an egregious capital gains tax loophole. It should be rejected.

.Brendan Duke on Washington Journal: This isn't a debate about Medicaid reform or deficit reduction—it’s about financing tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy by stripping health coverage and food assistance from millions of Americans.
