Oppose H.R. 1: the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"

Recently, the House passed a highly partisan budget reconciliation bill, H.R. 1 the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” that will increase budget deficits by $2.4 trillion to finance trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy. This bill will enact the largest transfer of wealth from the poor the rich in decades. The Senate is now rewriting portions of the bill to satisfy strict Senate parliamentarian rules while also maintaining the House’s partisan wish list framework. These harmful provisions include: Deep cuts to Medicaid, including harsh new work requirements New Medicare eligibility rules and increased costs for dual Medicaid-Medicare enrollees Tripling the budget for ICE and Trump’s mass deportation effort Authorization for the sale of public lands and increased incentives for fossil fuel production Widespread rollback of clean energy tax incentives and climate protections Unprecedented funding cuts and expansion of work requirements for SNAP Limits on a court’s ability to issue temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions Funding cuts to clinical care services at Planned Parenthood and gender-affirming care for Medicaid and CHIP recipients Requiring states block all AI regulation for 10 years in order to receive federal broadband funding A $150 billion increase to an already bloated Pentagon budget A national private school voucher program that diverts funding from public schools and sets up a new tax shelter for the wealthy An increased excise tax on college endowments Widespread changes to student loan access, protections, and repayment options Harmful changes to federal worker pay, benefits, unions, and protections against unjust treatment Slashes to funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by nearly 70% Elimination of a tax on gun silencer sales Raising the debt limit by $5 trillion purely to fund tax cuts for the wealthy, adding trillions to the national debt. I urge Congress to oppose this bill and all of its harmful provisions. This bill will cause significant harm to America citizens.
