A budget should reflect our values. This one reflects cruelty.

The Senate just passed a budget that:
❌ Slashes Medicaid & food aid
❌ Gives tax breaks to billionaires
❌ Triples immigrant detention funding

😡 The Senate voted to pass Trump's awful budget, which cuts more than $1 trillion from Medicaid to give tax breaks to the ultra-rich. This is wrong. WHAT CAN WE DO? 👉 Tell Congress to DO THE RIGHT THING and VOTE NO on this betrayal of American families. Join us! ppls.ac/pb
