The Medicaid cuts proposed by the GOP are awful on their own.
But they could also reduce economic activity — resulting in a loss of 850,000 jobs across the country in both the healthcare industry and beyond.
All for tax cuts that will mostly benefit the richest Americans.
Rinse and Repeat!

Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people.
It's Robin Hood in reverse.

Do Americans fully understand the implications of what that term means? And while the left is wasting time on messaging, the right continues to erode our democracy.

It’s about state terror.
It’s about dehumanization.
Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.
