"Senate Republicans’ plan to force states to share the cost of the country’s largest nutrition program to pay for their policy megabill has been halted by the chamber’s rules.

The Senate parliamentarian determined that the cost-sharing plan would violate the so-called Byrd Rule, which limits what can be included in the reconciliation process, and would be subject to a 60-vote filibuster threshold..."

Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!

Go get 'em Bernie! 👏🏼

25% of Mike Johnson's constituents under 65 are on #medicaid, and 20% of households are on #SNAP according to the article in the link.

I'm sure Bernie will have LOTS to talk about. And however red it is there, Republicans have been showing up to Bernie's events in other places!

Screengrab from Bernie Sanders on his Ig "I am now heading to Shreveport, Louisiana, the home of Speaker Mike Johnson. He is the architect of Trump's "big beautiful bill," the most destructive piece of legislation in modern history. And his constituents need to know that."

"As Republican senators consider President Donald Trump’s big bill that could slash federal spending and extend tax cuts, a new survey shows most U.S. adults don’t think the government is overspending on the programs the GOP has focused on cutting, like Medicaid and food stamps."

AP News · US adults want more funding for Medicaid and food stamps, AP-NORC poll saysA new poll shows most U.S. adults don’t think the government is overspending on the programs Republicans in Congress have focused on cutting, like Medicaid and food stamps. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll shows Americans broadly support increasing or maintaining existing levels of funding for popular safety net programs, including Social Security and Medicare. They’re more divided on spending around the military and border security. As Republican senators debate President Donald Trump’s bill that could slash federal spending and extend tax cuts, the survey points to a disconnect between Republicans’ policy agenda and public sentiment around the domestic programs that are up for debate.

"At a time when the country is in dire need of empathy, unity, and healing, MAGA Republicans will return to D.C. this week to pick up where they left off in their reconciliation debate wrangling: seeking to pass a bill that includes the most monstrous transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the uber-rich in recent history."

"The horrifying assassination of Minnesota state legislator Mellisa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the attempted assassination of state senator John Hoffman and his wife on Saturday followed a week in which the full magnitude of Donald Trump’s violence, cruelty, chaos, and insatiable quest to destroy American democracy as we knew it were on full view."

Tell your #Senators to reject #Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill,” its cuts to #Medicaid and #SNAP, and its tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy that will balloon the national debt by nearly $4 trillion! click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgTell Your Senators: Oppose Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill"The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” is anything but. This sweeping MAGA legislation would gut Medicaid, slash food assistance, strip funding from Planned Parenthood, and hand billions in tax breaks to billionaires — all while ballooning the national debt by nearly $4 trillion. It passed the House by a single vote. Now it’s headed to the Senate and we have the opportunity to stop it cold. If we flood the Senate with opposition now, we can push enough Senators to vote NO on this dangerous bill. Take action: Click ‘start writing’ to send a letter to your Senators demanding they reject the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

The budget cuts will hit this KY Congr Dist hard, but their R Rep voted for the #BIll. The author reveals rural disillusionment, but residents are unwilling to dump Trump, & some feel it may be their plight.

">40% of the ppl rely on Medicaid & many will lose their benefits with the bill. These ppl🚨will suffer if #Medicaid & #SNAP are cut but they'll support Trump no matter what since he's their savior who's done absolutely nothing for them."
