Congressional Republicans’ radical budget and tax bill includes several less-known provisions that will increase costs, fuel the Trump administration’s overreach, and waste taxpayer dollars. Here are 🔟 things you may not know about the bill: www.americanprogress.org/article/10-e...

At a time when inequalities of income and wealth in America are wider than they have been in more than 80 years, Trump's big ugly bill is utterly shameful.

It’s now up to us to make sure Republicans pay the price at the ballot box.

💥 Every PA Republican voted for the Big Bullsh*t Bill that takes popular, life-saving programs away from millions.

Now the bill is back in the House for another vote. Contact your Rep today + tell them not to sell us out for billionaire tax cuts: tinyurl.com/contact-reps or call 855-245-3682

All ten of the PA Republicans in the majority sold out their constituents tonight to help Trump and their billionaire donors.

These GOP Medicaid cuts would devastate families and PA’s economy.

Alright friends, we're about to lose the vote on the budget resolution.

We WILL keep fighting.

This is the first vote they need to take, it is not the last. They will have to come back in a couple of months for another vote with firm numbers they're cutting SNAP and Medicaid and Medicare by.
