GOP lawmakers pushed a sweeping bill forward in a rare Sunday vote after cutting a backroom deal with far-right Republicans to fast-track deeper Medicaid cuts and slash food aid—while offering permanent tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

As House Republicans approve tax breaks for the wealthy, they simultaneously move to gut Medicaid and food assistance, rejecting all amendments to protect vulnerable Americans.

The legislation extends Trump-era tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy, adds new corporate giveaways, and revives controversial provisions targeting civil society, while gutting Medicaid and SNAP.

New Republican plan could strip 8.6 million Americans of healthcare while permanently enriching the ultra-wealthy through revived 2017 tax breaks.
