| Right now, Congress is advancing two massive power grabs—both designed to gut programs our families rely on and hand even more wealth to the already ultra-rich. Trump’s cruel budget proposal—just passed by the House—slashes Medicaid, SNAP, housing, and climate funding to give tax breaks to billionaires. The GENIUS Act—a crypto scam disguised as regulation—lets Trump and Elon Musk cash in while putting our entire financial system at risk. This is the same fight: billionaires trying to rewrite the rules to enrich themselves at our expense. Whether you’re showing up in the streets, sharing your story, or joining a phone bank—your voice matters. When we fight, we win. Let’s turn up the heat. 👉 Tell Congress: Vote NO on any budget that cuts care to fund billionaire greed. 👉 Stop the GENIUS Act. Stop the scam. 👉 Join the fight—from the streets to the phones to the inboxes of every elected official who needs to be reminded who they work for. This is our moment to rise together. Let’s go!

| Tell the Senate: No Cuts for Billionaires: Working people made this the richest country in the world—and there’s enough for all of us, if billionaires and greedy corporations don’t steal it. Trump’s budget plan, his push to fire public servants, and his alliance with Elon Musk’s DOGE and GOP extremists are all part of a strategy to cut health care, food assistance, housing, and climate programs—just to hand massive tax breaks to the ultra-rich. The House just passed this cruel budget proposal. Now the fight moves to the Senate. If this becomes law, it will rip health care from millions, slash nutrition and housing support, and gut the programs our communities need to survive and thrive. Tell your Senators: Protect those you have sworn to represent. Vote NO on any budget that cuts care to fund billionaire tax breaks. Take action now: ppls.ac/stopthecuts |
| The GENIUS Act Is a Scam for the Super-Rich—Here’s How to Stop It We know your eyes might glaze over at the phrase “cryptocurrency bill.” But the GENIUS Act is not just about crypto—it’s about the oligarchy buying political power, propping up Trump’s grift, and endangering the economic stability of working people. The GENIUS Act creates a loophole-ridden regulatory framework for “stablecoins”—a type of crypto that’s anything but stable. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a leading voice on consumer protections, has warned this bill could cause the next financial crisis. While we were in D.C. fighting to stop brutal cuts to health care and housing, sixteen Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance this dangerous bill. And according to reports, Senator Gillibrand’s team even suggested supporting the bill could help her fundraise for Senate Democrats. This is exactly the kind of backroom deal-making that makes people lose faith in government—and we’re not going to let it slide. 🛑 The Senate votes again as soon as this week—and then the bill moves to the House. We still have time to stop it. Take action now → https://actionnetwork.org/letters/geniusact Tell your Senators and Representatives: Vote NO on the GENIUS Act. Stop the billionaire crypto bailout. |
