Republicans' reconciliation bill guts the programs that hold communities together: Medicaid, SNAP, Head Start, and the VA – programs that give people a fighting chance. The cruelty is the point. And we'll do everything we can to stop this cruel budget from becoming law.

Republicans aren’t gutting programs—they’re gutting waste. The Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act of 2025 stops D.C. from slashing benefits, but let’s be real: Medicaid spending ballooned 42% from $1.2T to $1.7T since 2019. SNAP costs doubled under Biden’s watch. The real cruelty? Letting bureaucrats burn $674B in 2024 alone while veterans wait years for VA care. Reform isn’t cruelty—it’s survival. Cut the bloat, not the safety net.

Conflating "society" and "government" again, huh? Typical dumb Lefty. BTW dunce, government doesn't hold communities together at all. It tears them apart. Look at where the areas of most angst are in society. It's almost entirely the very areas where the hand of government is most heavily involved. You, and every other Leftist, are either too evil or too stupid to realize it.

House Republicans scheduled a hearing in the middle of the night because they don’t want the American people watching them. I am going to be here all night fighting against the Trump-endorsed funding bill that makes devastating cuts to critical programs such as Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical programs that American families, children, veterans, and seniors rely on.

A few points to remember about the budget resolution: The budget resolution is not law. The Senate amendment makes no changes to our reconciliation instructions. Any final reconciliation bill must include historic spending reductions, while also safeguarding essential programs. This is a collaborative process. Congressional Republicans are working together to get this done.

House Republicans want to a pass a bill today to cut funding from Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and the VA — programs working Americans deserve and rely on. All so they can afford to give tax cuts to their billionaire friends. It’s bullshit.

The #1 goal of the Republicans in this reconciliation budget bill is to give their billionaire buddies a tax break and have it be on YOUR back. We’re going to expose them. We’re going to lift up the curtain and show that everything else they do is to try to hide that.

Jasmine Crockett pushes the ridiculous lie that the One Big Beautiful Bill will "gut" programs like Medicaid, and involves "stealing" from vulnerable Americans. The bill actually STOPS illegals from stealing from vulnerable Americans by exploiting these programs.

We don't have to compromise on programs like SNAP and affordable healthcare that working people rely on. We can reopen the government AND protect these resources at the same time. Republicans need to bring us back in session and come to the negotiating table.

The Republicans have been reckless at every turn. DOGE recklessly cut vital programs and employees. The reckless implementation slowed our economy and caused chaos in the markets. And now, the Republicans are recklessly proposing a reconciliation plan that cuts taxes for the wealthiest Americans and doesn’t include a SALT deduction. We can work together to fix these problems if Republicans reach across the aisle.

What a week! Votes canceled, a major housing bill left unsigned, and more attacks on basic food and hunger programs. Enough with the lies! The overwhelming majority of people benefiting from SNAP are kids, seniors, and people living with disabilities. Every day, we're fighting for our communities!

We do not encourage communities to take the law into their own hands. We call on communities to work together with law enforcement agencies, point them in the right direction, and it is the law enforcement agencies that must take action.
