Yesterday, Republicans passed a so-called “budget” resolution that would gut Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches.

Let me break down what that means for my people in TX-30:

🧵 (1/4) 93,000 folks in TX-30 who get health coverage through the Affordable Care Act are looking at a $440 hike in premiums every year — that’s a 77% increase.

Every day this week, I'll be breaking down Trump's attacks on your rights and freedoms.

Four years ago today, our country faced the largest threat to our democracy and peaceful transfer of power since the Civil War. This attack was premeditated and planned months in advance by violent militia members with close associations with then-President Donald Trump.
