Right now, Congress is trying to pass a sprawling Right now, Congress is trying to pass a sprawling and ruthless bill that guts and dismantles services, programs, policies, and laws that rural communities depend on for their health and well-being – so billionaires and corporations can get richer and pay less in taxes. Here’s what this bill would do: * Strip $715 billion from Medicaid, leaving over 8 million people, including thousands of Native families, without health coverage. *Destroy clean energy jobs by eliminating tax credits that rural co-ops and homeowners rely on. *Hand over more than 200 million acres of public lands to oil and gas companies, while cutting tribal voices out of the decision-making process. *Cut $290 billion from SNAP by shifting costs to states, which they can’t afford and would take food away from eligible children and families in need. *Gut funding for rural schools, roads, and essential infrastructure by slashing payments tribes and communities receive from energy development on public lands. *Allow corporations to bypass environmental reviews and fast-track pipelines and industrial projects without public input. This bill violates the federal government’s trust responsibility to Tribes by disregarding tribal sovereignty, silencing Native voices in the public input process, and putting sacred lands at risk for the benefit of billionaires and fossil fuel corporations. It’s a reckless assault on Native rights, environmental protections, and the policies meant to safeguard Indigenous lands. Contact your Congressional delegates #Hoeven #Cramer and #Fedorchek and tell them to vote NO the "Big Beautiful Bill".
