A huge tax break snuck into Trump & the GOP's big ugly bill would allow private jet owners to write off the full cost of their planes in the first year of purchase.
Meanwhile, the law will cause millions to lose food assistance and healthcare.

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history?
It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich.

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.
Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts.
And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B.
We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

The Fight Against Trump Isn’t Over
Now I get it — you’re probably tired of being told to just keep voting. But state and local offices have a huge impact on your day-to-day life. Electing people-powered leaders who believe in democracy and the rule of law will be instrumental in pushing back against Trump and his billionaire cronies’ lawless agenda. So please register, volunteer, donate, and vote. You DO have a voice. And right now it’s more important than ever to join the fight against fascism in America. You can go to Vote.org or Ballotpedia.org to look up the elections happening where you live. Remember: Tyranny cannot prevail over people who refuse to succumb to it. Don’t agonize. Organize!
