You probably already know what news is driving this week: Republicans are trying to jam Trump’s big bad bill through Congress.

A terrible version of it already passed the House, and a new — somehow even more terrible — version is progressing in the Senate. Trump and congressional leaders are driving toward final passage before the July 4 congressional recess. Here are the three things you’ve got to know:

1. This bill is historically bad. The Senate bill cuts taxes for millionaires and billionaires; makes massive cuts to Medicaid and Food Stamps;supercharges Trump’s mass deportation agenda to terrorize communities, including thousands of new deportation agents; devastates rural hospitals; and adds $4 trillion (!) to the national debt.
2. This bill is very unpopular. Nothing I listed above is popular. None of it. People like Medicaid, food stamps, and hospitals. People do not like cutting taxes for billionaires or taking Trump’s anti-immigrant militarization tactics nationwide.
3. This is not yet a done deal — so public pressure matters. The House and Senate have to work out their differences before this becomes law. The GOP margins in the House and Senate are tight, vulnerable members up for reelection are skittish about voting for a deeply unpopular bill, and every day of delay makes their coalition more precarious. The last thing congressional leadership wants is a lot of angry constituents pressuring their members.

Your weekly to-dos

With the healthcare of over 17 million Americans and the financial well-being of millions more on the line, this week’s to-dos are focused on the urgent need to stop the budget-busting, Medicaid-slashing reconciliation bill:

1. Call your Republican senators to demand that they VOTE NO. We only need two more GOP senators to oppose the reconciliation bill for it to fail the upcoming Senate vote, and a handful of them remain truly undecided. Can’t get through on the phone? Send them an email.
2. Email your representative to say you won’t stand for cutting SNAP and Medicaid to fund billionaires’ tax breaks. If the reconciliation bill squeaks through the Senate, it will be sent back to the House for another razor-thin vote. We need to get a jumpstart on stopping it there.
3. Volunteer for a phonebank this week to mobilize working people against this reconciliation bill. Pass or fail, the reconciliation fight doesn’t end with the upcoming vote. Our work to reach people in key districts is going to continue, and we have several shifts open this week to make calls.
4. Join our “What’s the Plan?” call this Thursday to hear Leah and Ezra break down the latest on the MAGA agenda. Every Thursday at 3pm ET (12pm PT), our co-founders jump online to discuss the news of the week, highlight our work, and answer your questions directly! Come be part of a free-flowing, interactive chat about resisting this megabill and the rest of Trump’s agenda.
