Congress must reject H.R. 1, the Big Beautiful Bill, outright. It is a draconian, partisan piece of legislation that represents the largest upward transfer of wealth in decades, financing $2.4 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy by gutting vital social programs and public services that millions of Americans rely on. This partisan piece of legislation strips healthcare coverage from vulnerable populations with cuts to Medicaid & including harsh new work requirements changes the Medicare eligibility rules and increases costs for those dually enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid slashes SNAP benefits and imposes stringent work requirements on recipients triples ICE's budget to ramp up Trump's inhumane mass deportation agenda, which is an affront to human rights and American values. green-lights the sell-off of millions of acres of public lands to private buyers and fossil fuel companies, squandering our national heritage while exacerbating the climate crisis through increased extraction incentives and gutting clean energy tax credits. undermines judicial authority by limiting courts' abilities to issue restraining orders and injunctions. Other appalling provisions include defunding Planned Parenthood, banning gender-affirming care for Medicaid/CHIP recipients, increasing an already bloated Pentagon budget by $150 billion, establishing a private school voucher system to redirect funds from public education, hiking taxes on college endowments, eroding student loan protections, slashing worker rights and benefits, crippling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and eliminating an excise tax on gun silencer sales. H.R. 1 represents a scorched-earth assault on working families, the social safety net, and the public good - all to finance an unconscionable tax windfall for the wealthiest few. I urge you to summarily reject this awful bill and instead pursue a fair, responsible budget that uplifts all Americans.
