To any member of the US Congress voting to cut health and food assistance to their constituents in order to give huge, permanent tax cuts and subsidies to the very wealthy, including fossil fuel companies: You can expect that your voters will choose a candidate in the next election who will represent their interests, not those of millionaires and billionaires who only care about their own riches and not the common good or the planet.

This, this, this. I hope people rally all over the country to search for someone who puts the good of *everyone* first.

Yes. I’m trying to hope that the vote will fail in the House and Congress will pass something reasonable instead of the current horrible bill but it doesn’t seem likely.

I agree, I think in the end it will pass. That makes me yell obscenities in my family room but it’s reality now. I’m trying to see beyond to what’s next.

Next will be rescissions, where Congress refuses to pay out funds that were already allocated. It will cause more damage and hardship for agencies, grants, states, and organizations like PBS.

The Republicans have tried to time some of the worst parts of the bill to not take effect until after the midterms. We’ll have to make sure that people realize what they are doing with this bill.
The amount of money for ICE detention and deportation are obscene; that part will be front and center but we need to call out that these people are not criminals for the most part, but people who have been filling jobs in construction, hospitality, health care, home and lawn care, agriculture, and other vital parts of our economy. Many of them had legal status but are being stripped of it by the Trump administration. It’s unconscionable.

Definitely. We also need to make noise about voter suppression efforts and make sure that everyone has access to registration and voting without undue obstacles.
