...this you?? @RepMattHall

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is a big billionaire handout, slashing Medicaid funding and critical food assistance programs to pay for a massive tax cut to the richest 10%. Yesterday, we called on Congress to stand up for the hundreds of thousands of Michiganders who will lose…
