This is an update from INDIVISIBLE about what RepubliKKKans in the House are up to this week

House Republicans plan to force a vote on their horrific “Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023,” as early as Wednesday this week.

The aptly-named legislation will limit our ability to address climate change, save corporations from paying their fair share of taxes, and grow the pockets of big oil and special interests as it strips away benefits from hard-working Americans.

Extremist Republicans know that this bill will never pass in the Senate or be signed by President Biden. Their goal is not for it to pass. This is a power play from the most extreme members of the Republican party to exert their control over Kevin McCarthy and the rest of their caucus, committing all of them to a suite of toxic policies and a scheme to blow up the economy through the MAGA Default Crisis. 

This bill would:

• Create mountains of arbitrary paperwork that would strip life saving Medicaid and Food Stamps from millions of seniors, families, and children
• Make it easier for big corporations and the ultra wealthy to cheat on their taxes by revoking IRS funding 
• Saddle millions of working people with student debt 
• And make huge cuts to climate, public health, and infrastructure funding just to name a few.  

Currently, no Democrats have expressed any intention of voting for this bill, and it is so extreme that even a few Republicans have come out against it (as always, we’ll believe them when we see them vote). Republicans know full-well that passing this bill would harm their constituents -- it’s just that they think they can get away with it. They are posturing to bolster their position in the in the MAGA Default Crisis fight. 

We need Democrats to stand united during this vote and make it clear they oppose the Republican plan to cause a MAGA Default Crisis. The vast majority of House Dems have already committed to no cuts for Social Security and Medicare, check this list to see if your Rep is one of the handful who has not. 

As for House Republicans, with a few claiming that they will vote against this bill, we want to turn up the pressure on all Republicans to oppose it. We don’t know if any Republicans will stick to their word, but that can’t stop us from working to chip away at their ranks. If you have a Republican representative, call them and demand they oppose Kevin McCarthy’s disastrous default bill.

Now is the time to stand united against MAGA legislation. We send people to Washington to help the American people, not line the pockets of their friends and donors. This extreme bill is just one small volley in this ongoing fight to prevent the MAGA default. Make sure your Rep knows where you stand.
