#1: The Budget

  • ​Last week, every House Republican -- with only one exception -- voted for a budget framework that would gut Medicaid and other life-or-death programs in order to fund tax cuts for the rich. The sole no vote wasn’t some profile in courage, if you were wondering. It was a guy who thought the bill should have taken more money from hungry kids and struggling families.

  • But this fight is far from over. This vote was a nonbinding “concept of a plan.” It was written to be as vague as possible, so Republicans could cast their vote and then look constituents in the eye and say “no, I didn’t vote to take away your health insurance! I’d never do that!” The hard part for Republicans comes next -- because now they have to write a bill that fulfills last night’s promise to cut $2 trillion from the budget. And spoiler: That can only be done by taking away their constituents’ healthcare and a lot of other stuff they depend on. It’s going to be very unpopular.

  • It’s going to make constituents very angry. And it’s going to cost people their lives.

  • To come anywhere close to the kind of cuts Republicans are talking about, Medicaid would have to be slashed by about $800 billion over the next decade. Quick facts:

    • 72 million Americans rely on Medicaid.

    • 41% of births in the US are paid for by the program.

    • Medicaid is the primary payer for nursing home care (something felt not just by those requiring the care, but their adult children as well)

    • One estimate suggests 36 million people could lose their healthcare coverage as a result of the bill.

WHAT TO DO

#2: SAVE Act

SAVE Act H.R.22 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): See site below for more information.

​

Quick Summary:

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would:

  • Require all American citizens registering to vote or updating their registration information to present documentary proof of citizenship in person. For the vast majority of Americans, this would be a passport or birth certificate. Not the Real ID.

  • End online and mail-in voter registration.

  • Government-issued driver’s licenses—including REAL IDs—as well as military or tribal IDs do not satisfy the bill’s requirements.

  • The legislation would invert the responsibility to verify a person’s eligibility and citizenship status from election officials and the government onto every single American citizen, making citizens convince the government that they’re eligible to exercise their right to vote.

  • The SAVE Act would change the way all citizens register to vote upon enactment. It would upend online voter registration, make it impossible to mail in a registration application, and eliminate voter registration drives.

#3: Make Them Own the Coup

Trump and Musk are trying to bulldoze every check on their power, but Congress still has the ability to fight back—if we make them. House Democrats need to go all-in to use their leverage and every procedural tool that's available to fight back, and Republicans need to feel the heat for enabling the Trump-Musk coup and cutting working people’s health care and food assistance to give massive tax breaks to billionaires. Every single member of Congress must be forced to take a side. Will they stand with working people, or with the billionaires looting the country? Remind them that it's Elon or us, but it can't be both.
 
If You Have a Republican Member of Congress: Make Them Own the Coup. House Republicans aren’t just complicit in the Trump-Musk coup—they are actively fueling it. Instead of protecting everyday Americans, they’re ramming through an extremist spending bill, gutting critical programs, and shoveling billions in tax breaks to Trump’s billionaire cronies. Make them answer for their betrayal. Call them out in public, at town halls, in their district offices, and on their phone lines. Demand to know: Why are they slashing Medicaid and SNAP for working families just to hand massive tax cuts to billionaires? No hiding. No spin.
 
Force them to take a stance. Put them on record. Ask them point blank: Will you vote for the Trump Tax Scam that rips away healthcare and puts food assistance on the chopping block? No dodging. No excuses. Make them say it out loud. Make sure voters never forget. If they vote for this tax scam, plaster their name all over their district. Every voter should know exactly who sold them out and who is responsible for the consequences.
 
Show up, online and in person. Drag their complicity into the light—blast them on social media, flood local news with letters and op-eds, take action in their districts. Let them know that we are watching.
​
Republicans think they can sneak this coup past the American people. It’s time to make them regret it.
