Is Your Medicaid at Risk? You Might Not Even Realize You’re on It

Medi-Cal, AHCCCS, Peach Care for Kids—it’s all Medicaid. And Republicans just voted to gut reproductive health care access and insurance coverage.

⚡️ TL; DR (too long, didn’t read)

The budget bill passed by the MAGA Republican Congress is outrageous:

Families will be hurt and rural hospitals will close because of Trump’s deeply unpopular budget bill—and we won’t forget.

🔎 The Big Picture: a Backdoor Abortion Ban and Attack on Reproductive Health Care Access

This budget bill is part of the Project 2025 playbook—MAGA’s extremist plan to ban abortion nationwide, dismantle public health programs, and roll back civil rights.

And, Republican lawmakers are trying to duck accountability. After voting for this deadly bill, they’re lying about the devastating impact this bill will have.

What’s more is, GOP lawmakers are cheating to make sure they can win in 2026. Trump is pushing his allies in Ohio and Texas to redraw district lines to favor Republicans during the 2026 midterm in order to hold the GOP’s narrow House majority.

The playbook is clear: Cut care. Blame someone else. Cheat to win.

But we saw their votes; we won’t forget.

A glimmer of hope: Congress passed this giant budget bill by very narrow margins in both the House and Senate. J.D Vance even had to break the tie in the Senate!
