Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid.
Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt.
Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much?
They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs.
Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher.
Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.”
It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

Can We Fix Our Rigged Tax System?
For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. This is not only bad for our economy, but it’s leading to a billionaire takeover of our democracy as well. Watch.

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced.
Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked.
