@jayapal.house.gov motioned to ensure Republicans were being straightforward about the final cost of the billionaire tax cuts.

@amo.house.gov suggested the bill raise the income tax rate on millionaires, just like DONALD TRUMP has suggested.
@repmcgarvey.bsky.social, similar to @balint.house.gov, requested to eliminate all provisions the CBO projects would reduce participation in SNAP.
What were they?
@balint.house.gov motioned to eliminate all provisions the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates would increase the number of Americans without health insurance.
If a provision kicked an American off health insurance, that part would be deleted.
We couldn't offer amendments.
But we could offer motions to provide Chairman Arrington with non-binding instructions to offer changes when the bill reaches the Rules Committee.
Last night, we suggested four and they were ALL rejected by Republicans.
ICYMI: Late last night, Republicans in the Budget Committee chose to advance the largest tax cuts for the wealthy in American history.
Not only did they choose to rip away healthcare and nutrition program funding from millions of Americans, they doubled down.
A thread 🧵
The Republican budget bill only benefits the top 0.1%.
People making less than $51,000 could lose about $700 on average in after-tax income beginning next year.
But those in the top 0.1%? They'll see a GAIN of more than $389,000.
So tell me, who are Republicans fighting for?
🚨 Update on the incredibly harmful Republican budget bill.
Sending my prayers for health, strength and a speedy recovery to President Biden, who I know will be surrounded by his adoring family during this challenging time.
Under the Republican budget bill, if you make less than $51,000 you’ll lose almost $700 in after-tax income starting next year.
But if you’re in the top 0.1%? You’ll GAIN almost $400k.

As it looks like we’ll be back in the budget committee tonight, I want to be very clear to the American people: Republicans want to use YOUR money to fund billionaire tax breaks.
Republicans’ budget prioritizes giving historic tax breaks to billionaires while everyone making under $51k annually will see their income drop by $700.
That’s FORTY-THREE % of El Paso or almost 120 THOUSAND people.

Let me be clear: the Republican budget bill failed today because of THEIR in-fighting.
Those who voted against the bill did so because they don't think the Medicaid cuts go *far enough.*
As they regroup, Democrats remain committed and united in our defense of healthcare.
Democrats stood united against today’s latest Republican attempt to slash your healthcare and nutrition programs.
We’ll continue to be relentless in our defense of critical programs millions of Americans rely on.

The Republican budget bill doesn’t make our country better.
It crushes hardworking Americans, making them sicker, poorer, and hungrier.
The House Republican budget bill represents the biggest cuts to Medicaid and nutrition programs in American history.
Even Senate Republicans know how detrimental this would be.
Reposted byRep. Veronica Escobar
Republicans wanted you to be sleeping while we talked about what a bad deal their bill is for the people.
Here's what you missed ⬇️
It's been almost 800 days since the plaque honoring the Capitol Police who defended our democracy on January 6th should have been placed.
For all their chest-thumping of "Backing the Blue,” Republicans refuse to honor the same men and women who protected ALL of us on that day.
Our military personnel shouldn't be doing border enforcement.
When our CBP personnel receive months of training but the administration is only giving soldiers hours of training, it isn't right.
For once, I agree with RFK Jr.
“Transparent” corruption is still corruption.
