Today, House Republicans passed a bill that takes food from kids and healthcare from the poor while adding trillions to the deficit—all to provide tax cuts that go overwhelmingly to the rich. It’s cruel by design and terrible for the economy. The Senate must reject H.R.1. www.epi.org/press/epi-co...

Official CBO analysis confirms the obvious: House Republican tax and budget bill isn't shared sacrifice.

It makes poor people poorer and rich people richer. It does this by cutting health care & nutrition to help finance tax cuts skewed to the wealthy.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.

They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.

Why? Because they don't want it to work.
