After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

After advancing their Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching megabill late last night, Senate Republicans are aiming for a final vote within the next 24 hours.

Protect Our Care on Bluesky: β€œBREAKING: New CBO score reveals GOP Senate bill slashes $930 BILLION from Medicaid - the largest cut in history.

That means 10M+ could lose coverage.

New plan: $930B

Over 10 million Americans would lose their healthcare under Trump’s Tax Scam β€” and that doesn’t include the millions more who would lose their coverage because of GOP cuts to the Affordable Care Act.

Just joined @seiu.org to send the message that the Republican budget bill is caviar over kids, hedge funds over health care, and Mar-a-Lago over the middle class. I’m fighting it every step of the way.
