Defend America Action

Standing up to Trump's abuse of power.
Fighting for America's working families.

The declassified documents Trump just released tonight to “prove” the 2020 election was “rigged” actually show that Russia tried to interfere to hurt Biden and help Trump.

[Chris Cillizza @ChrisCillizza]

Trump was president when China was able to get their hands on voter data for 220 million Americans.

So…the call is coming from inside the house?

We just hit a harrowing milestone. There are now 1,000 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics that have closed or are on the verge of closing since Republicans gutted Medicaid and the ACA to fund tax cuts the wealthy.

Billionaires over patients. With deadly consequences.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

RFK Jr. looked me dead in the eye and lied. He said, "there are no cuts to Medicaid."

Now we have receipts: 3.8 million people lost Medicaid or CHIP.

All to pay for tax cuts for billionaire donors.

[Brad Woodhouse @woodhouseb]

@Acyn That’s a ball faced lie. Scores of people have car insurance and don’t have a claim each year - same with health insurance. And if healthy people aren’t in the insurance pool coverage would be out of reach for everyone else. But you know this - you’re just lying!

[Rep. Brendan Boyle @CongBoyle]

5 million Americans have now lost their health care thanks to Trump and Republicans in Washington.

This is just the beginning — millions more are going to lose their care.

And why exactly did Republicans do this? To give bigger tax breaks to their billionaire donors.

[Main Street Alliance / Main Street Action @mainstreetweets]

Wisconsin local business owner Kyle LaFond joined a recent @DefendUSAAction & @COSTcoalition call for some straight talk about affordability.

The stock market ≠ The economy.

And folks on Main Street are struggling.
Plain and simple.

More Than 5 Million People Have Lost Health Coverage Under Trump-GOP Law

According to a new report, the crisis is "only going to get worse." https://t.co/tK42X6qmuA

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

As many as 5 million Americans have lost their health care since Republicans cut Medicaid by $1 trillion and refused to extend the ACA's enhanced premium tax credits. What’s worse, some of the more atrocious provisions of their “Big, Beautiful Bill” have not even gone into full effect yet. Republicans in Congress must reverse these devastating attacks on Americans’ care.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

This is what happens when you cut healthcare to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Hospitals close, medical bills skyrocket, and America gets its first trillionaire.

“Iran is left stronger, we are left weaker.”

Republican senators are sounding the alarm on Trump's disastrous Iran deal. 👇

[Jesse Ferguson @JesseFFerguson]

🚨🚨🚨The Trump administration is secretly setting it up so SICK PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE OUT LOANS FROM THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES in order to afford the rising costs of health care.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Inflation spiked to its highest level in 3 years last month: 4.2%.

Trump’s tariffs and the Iran War are undoubtedly hurting Americans’ pocketbooks.

[Defend America Action @DefendUSAAction]

SHOT: Trump in 2024: “Starting on Day 1, we will end inflation and make America affordable again.”

CHASER: Inflation just climbed to 4.2%, its highest rate in four years.

The promise was lower prices. The reality is a growing affordability crisis.

[Heather Long @byHeatherLong]

JUST IN: US inflation jumped to 4.2% (y/y) in May —>the highest in 3 years and up from 2.4% in February before the war in Iran.

Higher gas and energy prices drove 60% of the gain. Shelter and food (especially restaurants) also contributed. The monthly increase was 0.5%.

Core inflation (excluding food and energy) was 2.9% —>highest since September
