Today — July 01, 2025 — 50 U.S. Senators and the sitting Vice President just knowingly passed a bill that will reduce the income for 80% of U.S. households in order to increase the income for the wealthiest 20% of U.S. households.
There’s more.
They knowingly passed a bill that is highly likely — because of decreased revenues to the U.S. Treasury — to decrease Medicare benefits by 4% (not Medicaid; *Medicare* ... the impact on Medicaid is even worse), and increase out-of-pocket Medicare costs across the board.
There’s more.
They knowingly passed a bill that will increase the federal deficit by $2.3, up to $4.5 Trillion with no plan to replace those funds and at a borrowing cost of an addition $440 Billion.
The Senate bill now goes to the U.S. House Of Representatives to iron out differences in the two versions.
Action.
Today — July 01, 2025 — you/we have a final opportunity to contact our Representatives in the U.S. House to tell them to stop this madness.

The Capitol Switchboard will connect you to your Congressperson’s office: (202) 224-3121
