Senate Dems: Don’t cave! And explain the big picture!

The Trump regime, along with Senate Republicans, say they’re only trying to fund the government with a “clean” Continuing Resolution (CR) that keeps everything as is.

Rubbish.

The CR bakes in all of the terrible policies that were in the regime’s big beautiful (Ugly!) bill, as well as its Rescission cuts of $7.9 billion from international assistance and $1.1 billon from public broadcasting.

To remind you: The big ugly bill is the most anti-environment legislation ever passed. It will have disastrous impacts for clean energy, electricity costs, and the health of our communities and environment.

The big ugly also gives the richest people in America a giant tax cut, financed largely by cuts in Medicaid and food stamps. It also makes some $500 billion in cuts in Medicare.

That big ugly was passed in the Senate using Reconciliation procedures that required only 51 senators. Senate Republicans bragged at the time that they didn’t need any Democratic votes.

But now Republicans do need Democratic votes to fund or “continue” these big ugly policies and Rescissions.

Any Democratic senator who now votes in support of the CR is in effect voting in favor of those indefensible policies.

Today, in arguing against the CR, Democrats are focusing on one aspect of the big ugly bill — the cuts Republicans made in Medicaid and Obamacare. These are truly awful.

But Democrats also need to explain the broader aspects of the CR — how it harms a far wider range of Americans than do the cuts in healthcare.

My strong advice to Democrats today (and, assuming the government shuts down at midnight on Tuesday as this column went to press): Tell the public what’s at stake. Tell Americans why the big ugly bill is horrific and should not be “continued.” And why the Rescission cuts shouldn’t be continued, either.

Hang in there. Don’t cave. 

Senadores demócratas: ¡No cedan! ¡Y expliquen el panorama general!

El régimen de Trump, junto con los republicanos del Senado, afirma que solo intentan financiar al gobierno con una Resolución Continua (RC) “limpia” que mantiene todo como está.

Tonterías.

La RC incorpora todas las terribles políticas que contenía el proyecto de ley, hermoso (¡y feo!), del régimen, así como sus recortes de rescisión de 7.900 millones de dólares de asistencia internacional y 1.100 millones de dólares de la radiodifusión pública.

Para recordarles: El proyecto de ley, grande y feo, es la legislación más antiambiental jamás aprobada. Tendrá consecuencias desastrosas para la energía limpia, los costos de la electricidad y la salud de nuestras comunidades y el medio ambiente.

Este proyecto también otorga a los más ricos de Estados Unidos una enorme reducción de impuestos, financiada en gran medida por recortes en Medicaid y cupones de alimentos. También incluye recortes de unos 500.000 millones de dólares en Medicare.

Este proyecto de ley se aprobó en el Senado mediante procedimientos de reconciliación que solo requirieron 51 senadores. Los republicanos del Senado se jactaron en su momento de no necesitar los votos demócratas.

Pero ahora los republicanos sí necesitan los votos demócratas para financiar o “continuar” estas políticas desastrosas y las Rescisiones.

Cualquier senador demócrata que ahora vote a favor de la Rescisión de la Constitución está, en realidad, votando a favor de esas políticas indefendibles.

Hoy, al argumentar en contra de la Rescisión de la Constitución, los demócratas se centran en un aspecto de este proyecto de ley desastroso: los recortes que los republicanos hicieron a Medicaid y Obamacare. Son realmente terribles.

Pero los demócratas también deben explicar los aspectos más generales de la Rescisión de la Constitución: cómo perjudica a un grupo mucho más amplio de estadounidenses que los recortes en la atención médica.

Mi firme consejo para los demócratas hoy (y, suponiendo que el gobierno cierre a la medianoche del martes al momento de imprimir esta columna): Díganle al público lo que está en juego. Díganles a los estadounidenses por qué este proyecto de ley desastroso es horrible y no debería “continuarse”. Y por qué los recortes de la Rescisión tampoco deberían continuar.

Aguanta. No te rindas.
