The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office just issued an analysis that makes it clear: when you add up the tax cuts and the cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other services, the rich gain, the poor lose.

No cuts to Medicaid.
No cuts to food assistance.
No cuts to workers’ retirement.

Working people won’t accept a budget that hurts working people while handing out tax cuts to billionaires.

Congress must reject any deal that hurts working families.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.

THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no.

Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

“Even people who are eligible would get cut because of an inability to comply with a lot of red tape and bureaucracy,” Arise's @robynhyden.bsky.social tells @alander.bsky.social at the @alabamareflector.com.

“One example I would use is a friend I know who works at Advance Auto Parts. Her take-home pay is $600 a week, or $32,000 a year, so she could opt in to pay for health insurance through her employer, [but] it would take more than one-third of her paycheck,” Arise's @robynhyden.bsky.social said.

The hospital where I took my son when he needed stitches, where my primary care physician is based, where my friend’s son was rushed after he was shot, is at risk of closing bc Alabama refuses to expand Medicaid. It’s far past time to take this lifesaving step. What are we waiting for? #alpolitics
