Last week, Republicans passed their Big Ugly Bill — paying for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy on the backs of the rest of us. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @mcclellan.house.gov spells out exactly how this bill will cost the American people.

Republicans rammed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill through Congress to the President’s desk in time for their self-imposed July 4th deadline. In the House, Democrats stood in firm opposition to the bill. Read this week’s newsletter to see how this bill threatens Virginians and families across the country.

Weekly Newsletter, 7.8.25

Republicans rammed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill through Congress to the President’s desk in time for their self-imposed July 4th deadline.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 7(source)

The Big Ugly Budget could force six rural hospitals in Virginia to close permanently — making it harder to get care. One of those hospitals is the Southern Virginia Regional Medical Center in Emporia. If it closes, residents would have to drive nearly an hour to Petersburg or into North Carolina.

Virginia faces Medicaid cuts after US Senate passes Trump budget bill

Updated: The legislation could force more than 300,000 Virginians off their insurance.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 5(source)

The Big Ugly Bill is bad news for the bottom 80% of Americans so that the rich can benefit from tax breaks. Every American should be alarmed and gravely concerned about the consequences. We can’t let Republicans forget the lives and livelihoods that are going to be lost as a result of this bill.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 5(source)

In Virginia alone, we’re looking at over 300,000 people who would lose their health insurance under this bill, and nearly a million people who support SNAP who could see their benefits affected. On top of that, six rural hospitals are at direct risk of closing as a result of Medicaid cuts.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 5(source)

7. It worsens the broader coordinated attack on our immigrant communities. The bill aligns with Trump’s mass deportation agenda by adding 10,000 new ICE agents, introducing deportation quotas, and expanding detention. All this does is escalate fear and civil liberty concerns across our nation.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 5(source)

6. It undermines efforts to combat climate change. Republicans’ budget bill slashes clean energy tax credits while incentivizing fossil fuel investment, which raises long-term energy costs. This disproportionately harms frontline and low-income communities.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 5(source)

5. It creates setbacks for students and borrowers, making it harder to access higher education. This Big Ugly Bill eliminates loans without interest for low-income students after July 2026, imposes strict federal loan caps, and makes repayment harder by eliminating most flexible options.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 5(source)

4. It defunds Planned Parenthood, limiting access to abortion services and reproductive care — but also other vital services like cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure screenings. Communities that live in OB deserts and other health care deserts will be hit especially hard.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 5(source)

3. It leaves food assistance programs without food on the table. This bill threatens the very existence of SNAP in states that can’t cover the costs. Its work requirements also keep families from raising their kids if they’re over the age of SEVEN — or pay for childcare they probably can’t afford.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 5(source)

2. It’s going to strip away or raise the price of your health insurance. The bill cuts nearly $1 trillion for Medicaid, resulting in 16 million people losing coverage. When those people end up in the ER, those costs pass onto the rest of us. Hospitals will close and premiums will rise.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 5(source)

1. It’s going to leave you poorer, all so the rich get richer. By permanently extending tax cuts for the rich but providing only temporary and minimal relief to the rest of America, the Big Ugly Bill is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the wealthiest few.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 5(source)

House Republicans passed their Big Ugly Bill. Many people may be left wondering: what does this mean for me? Here are 7 ways this budget bill affects you, your loved ones, and your community. 🧵

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 4(source)

This week, the House was supposed to be in recess as we prepared to celebrate America’s 249th Birthday. Instead, Congressional Republicans rammed through Trump’s Big Ugly Bill to benefit the ultrawealthy at the expense of everyone else.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 4(source)

In 1776, a revolutionary idea was born: that the government derived its power from the people to protect their rights. For 249 years, America has struggled to live up to that ideal, but it survives. As we celebrate America’s independence, we must recommit to making the ideal true for everyone.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 3(source)

Every Virginian will feel the impact — through shuttered hospitals, overcrowded emergency rooms, and rising health care costs across the board. This legislation does the exact opposite of what Americans voted for last November, and I was proud to vote no on this harmful and heartless legislation.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 3(source)

Moreover, by shifting more Medicaid and SNAP costs to the states, this bill will force the Virginia General Assembly to make the impossible choice of raising taxes or cutting essential services.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 3(source)

This bill rips health insurance away from nearly 17 million people, including hundreds of thousands of Virginians, and slashes federal support for Medicaid, forcing Virginians to foot the bill while getting less.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 3(source)

Their “One Big Ugly Bill” to enact President Trump’s agenda is not just unpopular — it’s one of the largest transfers of wealth from the poor and middle class to the ultra-rich in U.S. history, with the bottom-earning 80 percent of Americans paying for tax cuts for the wealthiest few.
