Vox Pop - Writer disappointed in members of Congress

I'm deeply disappointed in every member of Congress who voted for one of the most harmful bills in history, Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill.' Many people in our state and nationwide likely don't understand what this legislation means for our families and communities. Here's a breakdown of how some parts of this bill will directly affect us: • Phase out tax credits for wind and solar power. Not only will this drive up costs, but we will fall farther behind the rest of the world in technology advancements. • Reduce funding for agencies like the National Weather Service and FEMA that monitor extreme weather, leaving communities vulnerable to tornadoes, floods, huricanes and other disasters. Throws millions of children, seniors, and families off Medicaid and food assistance. According to CBS News, 63% of nursing home residents nationwide rely on Medicaid. Republicans cheered about taking away healthcare, gutting clean energy programs, and giving massive tax breaks to billionaires. Policy reflects values, and I am horrified by the values represented in this bill and by every legislator who voted for it. We won't forget this. We must fight back by advocating for policies and voting for politicians who will protect people and the planet over corporate polluters and the ultra-rich. — Linda Hitchman, Spencer
