They’ll keep trying to hide. Jim won’t let them.

 

MAGA GOP DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY VOTED FOR! SEE ARTICLE BELOW!

1,100 PAGES! 

NOT ONLY WILL THEY DESTROY MEDICAID - INSURANCE FOR THE DISABLED, 

POOR & DEPENDENTS, BUT MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS TO PROVIDERS 

WILL DECREASE 5% EACH YEAR! 

IN OTHER WORDS, MEDICARE PROVIDERS WILL BE FORCED TO CEASE 

COVERAGE FOR MEDICARE RECIPIENTS.... 

AS YOU KNOW, MEDICARE ONLY COVERS 80% OF MEDICAL CHARGES & 

THERE ARE DEDUCTIBLES. TO BE FULLY COVERED, MEDEX COVERAGE IS 

REQUIRED AT ADDITIONAL EXPENSE. 

PLEASE SUPPORT JIM MCGOVERN AS HE SPEAKS OUT AGAINST THIS 

MAGA MONSTER THAT MAKES TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY PERMANENT, 

BUT CREATES ENDLESS DEFICITS!





 
 

They did it.

For more than 20 hours straight — from 1 AM until nearly 9 PM — Jim led a fierce Democratic resistance in the Rules Committee, fighting to stop Republicans' Big, Beautiful, Bloated, Barbaric Bill. He worked through over 500 amendments, exposing the cruelty and greed buried in the GOP's 1,100-page manifesto. But in the end, they squeaked it through — by just one vote.

Right now, we're working to expose just how sinister this piece of legislation is. It steals trillions from the most vulnerable, guts Medicaid, and slashes SNAP benefits that help 41 million Americans put food on the table. The average SNAP benefit is about $2 per person per meal, and Republicans are hellbent on taking that away — just so billionaires like Elon Musk can get another tax break.

This isn't about "waste, fraud, and abuse." It's not about deficits. It's about cruelty and greed — a punishment for being poor, a reward for being rich. Jim knows that, and he's going to keep fighting every step of the way. But he can't do it alone.

If you're with us, chip in $15 before tonight's May fundraising deadline. Together, we can ensure Jim has the resources he needs to keep standing up for justice, common sense, and working people — because millions of lives are on the line.

This piece of legislation and the incredibly narrow margin it passed with underscores how important it is that we reclaim the House in 2026. These votes matter, these seats matter, and the resources we pull together right now matter.

In solidarity,

SEECPAC (Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition Political Action Committee) included this in an article they shared:

They don’t even know what they voted for


The following is a direct quote from a Republican Congressmember:

“I am not going to hide the truth, this provision was unknown to me when I voted for that.”

That’s what Rep. Flood said at a town hall when his constituents confronted him about what was in the “big, beautiful bill.” One thing is clear: House Republicans don’t know what they voted for, and they hoped the public wouldn’t catch on, either – which is why they had waited until the dead of night to push their megabill forward.

But here at SEEC PAC, we believe that Americans deserve to be informed about what’s in the reconciliation package that’s on its way to the Senate, including: 

  • Giving polluters “get out of jail free cards” by letting companies pay for legal immunity for environmental reviews.
     
  • Slapping a fine on protests filed against oil and gas leases, muzzling dissent and pro-conservation civic engagement.
     
  • Locking up 4 million acres for coal mining, despite coal making less and less economic sense (let alone being terrible for the environment).
     
  • Eliminating protections for endangered species who are vulnerable to offshore oil and gas operations, dooming our planet’s most endangered whale to extinction. 
     
  • Raising household energy costs while handing out tax breaks to billionaires and big polluters.
     
  • Killing good-paying clean energy and manufacturing jobs by defunding innovation and industrial modernization.
     
  • Demolishing incentives for electric vehicles, advanced manufacturing, and zero-emission energy.

Tell Major News Networks to Cover Project 2025 DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN PROJECT 2025? CORPORATE MEDIA IS NOT REPORTING!

 


This week’s Republican National Convention was light on policy. But do you know what’s not? Project 2025.

It’s a 900+ page meticulously detailed right-wing policy plan, drafted by the very people who could serve in a second Donald Trump administration. It includes:

  • Military raids to deport up to 5 million immigrants1

  • Purging 50,000 civil servants and replacing them with Trump loyalists2

  • Gutting racial equity programs and climate initiatives3

  • Taking SNAP food assistance away from families while making it tougher to access benefits4

  • Threatening health care coverage for up to 18.5 million Americans via a Medicaid lifetime cap5

  • Extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts for the wealthy while deepening giveaways to corporations6

  • Shutting down the Department of Education and stripping the enforcement authority of the Office of Civil Rights

  • And, diverting billions of dollars in public school funding to private school vouchers while gutting funding for special education and schools that serve low-income children7

This right-wing agenda seeks to shut down federal agencies ranging from the IRS to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

It would destroy the Department of Education, the Federal Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Labor Relations Board, and much more.

Many critical policies and institutions that we take for granted would be on the chopping block, leading to a lack of consumer protections, environmental protections, and even public education as we know it.

With less than four months until Election Day, major news networks must cover Project 2025. The American people have a right to know what is on the line this election year and how it will affect our future.

Click here to send a message to the CEOs of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox News urging them to provide voters with in-depth coverage of Project 2025, which is an existential threat to human needs and our democracy.

TAKE ACTION

Project 2025 seeks to redefine what it means to be American, excluding anyone who doesn't fit their narrow, right-wing vision. They want to gut the federal government’s role in helping families meet their basic needs. They want to divide us by race, religion, and sexual orientation. They want to silence dissent, crush independent institutions, and concentrate power in the hands of a few who have pledged their loyalty to a president, not their country.

But even as this plan hides in plain sight, its policies are widely unpopular with the American people. That’s why major news networks must educate voters on the threat that Project 2025 poses to the future of our democracy as we know it.

This is a critical moment to stand up for the values of justice and equality that make our country great. Because this is a country of the many, not the few.

Click here to send a message to the CEOs of major news networks urging them to cover Project 2025 so that voters know exactly what is on the line in the 2024 election.

Thank you for taking action today, fighting for a democracy that is for all of us.

Tell Congress: No Cuts to SNAP

 

Image


Nothing could be easier to understand: Children cannot thrive when they are hungry. 

Yet that simple reality was not enough to deter the U.S. House Agriculture Committee from voting to advance Chairman G.T. Thompson’s version of the Farm Bill, which would cut $30 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).  

About 14 million children, nearly two-thirds of whom are Black or brown, rely on SNAP’s modest assistance to access a healthy diet. The bill would eliminate future adjustments to SNAP’s Thrifty Food Plan benefit, which the  Congressional Budget Office projects will reduce SNAP benefits by $30 billion over ten years. The bill also proposes $500 million in cuts to Summer EBT, which provides grocery benefits to children in low-income families during the summer when schools are closed. 

Few federal programs have reduced poverty as effectively as SNAP. A Center on Budget Policies and Priorities analysis found that SNAP kept nearly 8 million people above the poverty line annually before the pandemic, including 3.6 million children. Yet, this proposed bill would neutralize that progress and create one more obstacle to young people living joyful lives. 

Contact your House member now and tell them to vote no on the proposed Farm Bill and to reject any cuts to SNAP. And thank you for your continued partnership in building a nation where all young people grow up with dignity, hope, and joy!
