Right now, Republicans are planning to make the biggest cut in history to a program that one in five Americans use for their health care.
Gutting Medicaid would be a betrayal of their constituents just so they can give a tax cuts to billionaires.

Cameron Hamilton—the acting FEMA administrator—defied President Trump yesterday when he told Congress that it's not in the best interests of America to eliminate FEMA.
Today, he was fired.
The Trump Administration is sabotaging disaster recovery for Americans across the country.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report that Trump’s “big, beautiful" tax bill slashing Medicaid will force millions of people to lose the health care they rely on.
He’s trying to take away your health care to give tax cuts to billionaires like himself.
Have you looked for the Energy Star sticker when you buy a new appliance?
You're not alone. Americans have saved over $500 billion in energy costs from the program.
But for some reason President Trump has decided to end this program that saves you money and lowers our emissions.
I’m deeply concerned by reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu intends to seize Gaza and displace hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
This will be a devastating blow to Middle East peace and won’t make Palestinians or Israelis safer.
A ceasefire agreement must be reached.
My opinion on President Trump’s Alcatraz order is that the Dow Jones has dropped 3,145 points since he took office.
The Supreme Court just allowed Trump's ban on trans servicemembers to go into effect.
This doesn't make us safer. Trans servicemembers go through the same testing and training as everyone in the military.
Trump is stopping them from protecting our country because of who they are.
A vote for Frank Bisignano is a vote to cut Social Security.
I won’t do it.
I voted against his nomination.
Elmo, Julia Child, Arthur, Bob Ross, All Things Considered.
Generations have grown up watching and listening to them and are better off because of it.
It's shameful that President Trump signed an executive order to eliminate federal funding to PBS and NPR.
The Trump Administration cancelled almost $7 million in funding intended to make it easier for Vermonters to get vaccines.
Vaccines keep our kids, families, and neighbors safe, but President Trump is ripping that away from our state.
It’s now been almost two months without any food, fuel, or aid flowing into Gaza.
Civilians are on the brink of mass starvation.
A ceasefire must be reached to free the hostages and rush aid to Palestinians.
"Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again. And it's happening, and it will happen rather quickly.”
—President Trump
Pete Hegseth should be next.
I’m not just going to sit by and let President Trump crush our economy.
Today, I’m joining my colleagues in forcing a vote to block President Trump’s global tariffs.
When I met with Mohsen Mahdawi where he was being held in Vermont, I was struck by his belief in American democracy despite his unjust detainment.
I'm thankful that at least for today, justice has prevailed.
A federal judge has ordered Mohsen's release.
President Trump and his Administration have broken laws, ignored court orders, and suggested he’ll run for a third term (he can’t).
In his first 100 days in office, Trump has made it clear: he doesn’t want to be president, he wants to be king.
We’re 100 days into President Trump’s second term and the only people he’s lowered costs for are his wealthy friends.
Meanwhile, he’s raising costs on working families trying to make ends meet.
It’s disgraceful.
Right now, there’s a kid watching the GOP attacks on the LGBTQ+ community and wondering if they'll ever be treated equally under the law.
I'm joining my colleagues in introducing the Equality Act to ban discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation and gender identity.
In President Trump's first 100 days, he:
—Cut funding for green energy jobs.
—Ended regulations that prevent power plants from polluting our air and water.
—Opened public lands and waters to drilling.
—Fired scientists who study climate change.
He's putting our future in jeopardy.
President Trump is selling out rural America.
He's making it harder to get reliable internet. He's raising costs on farmers. He's purged federal offices that help rural communities thrive.
In his first 100 days in office, he's leaving rural America behind.
