So… Republican Senators once again failed to stand up for their constituents, caving and passing Donald Trump’s disastrous, billionaires-first budget. And the House is not too far behind.
Trump’s billionaires-first budget will ‘actively transfer’ money from the poorest Washingtonians to the wealthiest.
It’s a direct attack on working people across the country. In Washington, it will rob us of our health insurance, take food off the table, kill good-paying jobs, and reduce or even eliminate access to emergency medical care.
All to hand out another round of tax breaks to billionaires.
Republicans are trying to make Donald Trump’s 2017 tax scam permanent, and they’re doing it by gutting programs that keep Washington families safe, healthy, and fed.
Here’s what this budget means for Washington:
💥$1 trillion slashed from Medicaid, the biggest cut in American history.
❌ Health coverage for 1.86 million Washingtonians is on the chopping block.
🏥 14 hospitals in our state are at risk of closing, and one in four nursing homes will have to close their doors.
🍎 888,300 people are at risk of losing food assistance.
🛠️ Millions of jobs are threatened—the biggest job-killing bill in U.S. history.
And it gets worse: This budget would add $3.25 trillion to the national debt, raise your energy bills, and make it easier for people to buy dangerous firearms and silencers.
Washington Republicans didn’t stand up for their constituents; instead, they caved to Trump and his billionaire donors. Rep. Dan Newhouse and Rep. Michael Baumgartner, we’re calling you out.
Our Washington Democratic champions in Congress are holding the line, fighting back with everything they’ve got. But they can’t do it alone.
Here at Washington Dems, we’re mobilizing. We’re organizing, fighting, and holding every single one of these extremists accountable because the stakes have never been higher.
Let’s fight like everything is on the line, because it is.
