Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day. 1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.

Keep calling, writing, and speaking out. Republicans are in the middle of trying to pass Trump's big bill, but it's not a done deal. They know it's a bad bill, and we need to convince just four of them to stand with working families. If we can do that, we can stop this thing.

It’s a shame that so many Republicans vote for something they know will hurt their constituents & the country simply because they are afraid that Trump will threaten them if they don’t go along with it, & they are more concerned about his vindictiveness than they are about them.
