Congress must withhold passage of any budget or stopgap measure until the administration reverses its stance on cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. These vital programs provide a lifeline for millions of Americans and should be protected, not undermined. No funding bill is acceptable while such draconian cuts remain on the table, as they would devastate our most vulnerable citizens. It is imperative that these essential social safety nets be safeguarded before considering budget proposals that could enable their dismantling. Fiscal responsibility cannot come at the expense of our core commitments to secure healthcare and financial stability for retirees, the disabled, and the impoverished. Stand firm in opposition until the administration abandons its misguided efforts to gut these programs that embody our nation's most fundamental values.
