Republicans' terrible Medicaid cuts haven't even become law, and they're already causing hospital closures.
Everyone else can tell these cuts are a disaster. Why can't Republicans?

Under the direction of Donald Trump, House Republicans have done the unimaginable.
They've taken healthcare and nutrition assistance from millions to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
Shame on those who voted to hurt so many in the service of so few.
My full statement:
On the eve of July 4th, House Republicans are celebrating by taking healthcare and food assistance from those who need it most.
It's time to call it what it is: un-American.
I’ve been in the Capitol all night with my colleagues.
We’re standing behind @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and standing up for the American people.
Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life.
And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans.
We will not be silenced.

Republicans are voting to take healthcare from hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
Their bill is a disaster, and I'm fighting it in the House.
As House Republicans move to pass Trump's "Big Ugly Bill," I stand with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues fighting for Americans' access to healthcare and nutrition assistance.
You deserve better.
Trump continues to capitulate to Russia and abandon our allies in Europe. This is a shameful threat to democracy.

DWC Members demanded over and over and over that Republicans remove all cuts to Medicaid and SNAP from the Big Ugly Bill.
Republicans rejected it.
The headlines illustrate the point. This bill is great for billionaires and terrible for everyone else.
If Republicans pass their bill gutting Medicaid, rural hospitals in North Carolina will be forced to close, putting the lives of North Carolinians in danger.
We can't let that happen.
Senate Republicans passed their terrible budget bill today, so I'm back in D.C. fighting for North Carolinians and everyone who would be hurt by this cruel transfer of wealth from everyday Americans to the ultra rich.
Trump said he'd end this war on day one, but the year is halfway through and Russia is only getting more aggressive.
Trump needs to stand with Ukraine by finally putting pressure on Russia.
Pell Grants help low- to moderate-income students pay for college tuition.
But Republican's Big Ugly Bill could impact the 200,000 North Carolina students who rely on Pell Grants, putting their ability to finish school and their futures at risk.
🚨 It's a complete disgrace that the Senate passed this harmful bill. It will put people's lives and livelihoods in jeopardy.
Senate Democrats and a few Republicans stood up for the American people for 24+ hours.
We will fight hard in the House to prevent this garbage from becoming law.
I'm voting NO on the Republicans' 'Big Ugly Bill' because it would harm our most at risk in NC02.
Healthcare and food assistance are at risk, and Wake County deserves better.

At recent town hall meetings, @repbonamici.bsky.social heard from Oregonians loud and clear: they're outraged by GOP's Medicaid cuts.
On today's Democratic Daily Download, she shares how Democrats are doing everything we can to fight these irresponsible and immoral Medicaid cuts.
This is a big week in Congress. Republicans are pushing their bill to
- kick 16 million people off healthcare
- implement the largest ever cut to nutrition assistance
- give billionaires massive tax breaks
- cut clean energy investments
- add over $4 trillion to our debt
I'm adamantly voting no.
Republicans can debate this budget for as long as they want.
Increasing the deficit by trillions of dollars to pay for billionaire tax breaks, cuts to SNAP, and cuts to Medicaid will never be good.
North Carolina businesses are still dealing with the fallout from Trump's reckless tariffs, facing unpredictable costs and constant price hikes.
Our community businesses deserve stability from those in power.
After Hurricane Helene, FEMA helped save people and rebuild communities in Western NC.
Cutting FEMA puts lives at risk. I spoke in defense of FEMA on the House floor and urged Trump to keep his promise to help North Carolinians rebuild and recover.
