Wishing a very happy Independence Day to Missourians across #MO05 and Americans nationwide! Today, let us come together with family and friends to celebrate the freedoms and democracy we cherish—and commit to protecting them for generations to come.

Rural hospitals across the heartland are already struggling to stay afloat—and Republicans are about to vote for the largest cut to Medicaid in history, which will only make matters worse. It’s going to have devastating consequences for our neighbors. www.klkntv.com/rural-southw...
Rural southwest Nebraska clinic closes, blaming expected Medicaid cuts
McCook-based Community Hospital said it is shutting down its clinic in Curtis, a town of about 900 people.

Republicans claim to be rooting our waste and fraud—but in reality, they’re forcing hardworking Missourians to jump through unnecessary hoops and hurdles to maintain the healthcare they desperately need. It’s shameful. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
To Keep Medicaid, Mom Caring for Disabled Adult Son Faces Prospect of Proving She Works - KFF Health News
A proposed work requirement would make Medicaid expansion enrollees prove they’re working or meet other criteria. Most already work, but millions are expected to lose coverage if the provision passes,...

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the most expensive bill in history, adding trillions to our national debt. But rather than lowering healthcare or housing costs for families, it gives trillions in tax breaks to millionaires & billionaires, while ripping healthcare away from 17 million Americans.

The Senate just passed a bill that would (taking into account the expiration gimmickry) add $5.3T to the debt, which is more than we borrowed to recover from COVID. That’s unacceptable.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been speaking for over 4 hours as we continue the fight to #KillTheBill that would rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans, food assistance away from millions more, and add trillions to our national debt. All to fund more tax breaks for billionaires.

Jeffries: "This reckless Republican budget is an immoral document, and that is why I stand here on the floor of the House with my colleagues in the House Democratic caucus to stand up and push back against it with everything we have, on behalf of the American people."
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 2(source)
President Trump’s tariff taxes, federal funding freeze, and general recklessness are already slowing our economy—and workers are paying the price for his chaos. Just wait until Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill increases healthcare, energy, and grocery costs for hardworking families.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 2(source)
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is just another #GOPTaxScam. It gives another massive handout to the wealthiest 1%, while taking healthcare, food assistance, and educational opportunities away from working class families. #KillTheBill
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 2(source)
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill would rip healthcare away from 17 MILLION Americans, including 265,000 of our neighbors across Missouri. All while adding trillions of dollars to our national debt—just to give more tax breaks to billionaires like Donald Trump. #KillTheBill
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 1(source)
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the same trickle-down economics that has failed working class families for decades—only on steroids. It robs from the poor to give another handout to the exorbitantly wealthy, while adding trillions to our national debt.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 1(source)
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the wealthy in American history. It rips healthcare and food assistance away from vulnerable families to fund more tax breaks that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest in our communities. A moral monstrosity.

The Senate’s version of OBBBA hits poor families even harder than the initial version passed by the House — now the poorest Americans will lose 2.9% of their income while the richest gain 2.2%
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 1(source)
The House is the last line of defense to prevent Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill from becoming law, which would make the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in history to fund more tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. I’m traveling to Washington to vote NO on this betrayal of working families.

Breaking news: The Senate narrowly approved President Trump's massive tax and immigration bill, extending tax cuts for wealthy Americans and cutting nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, SNAP and other programs. wapo.st/4esoFbg

“We all are going to die” — Senator Ernst “They’ll get over it” — Senator McConnell “It’s immaterial” — VP Vance This is what Republicans think about ripping healthcare away from 16 million working class Americans to fund more tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit their wealthy donors.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJun 26(source)
Rural families and hospitals in states like Missouri are already struggling to stay afloat. Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will only exacerbate the rural healthcare crisis by defunding local providers and ripping healthcare away from hardworking Missourians. We must #KillTheBill

The President’s tariff taxes, funding freezes, and general recklessness are already having an impact on the economy, leading to negative GDP and a slowdown from consumers. Now, watch what happens if the GOP rips healthcare away from 16 million Americans and makes the largest cut to SNAP in history.
