Senator Padilla unpacks the real impact of the Trump-backed reconciliation bill

Senator Padilla on the GOP’s billionaire-friendly budget proposal, rural hospital closures, and his radical idea that government should actually help people

I got to speak with my Senator Alex Padilla, during the chaos of today's Vote-a-Rama.

We talked about the Republicans’ reconciliation bill, which slashes health care and food assistance for millions while ballooning the national debt with more billionaire tax breaks.

Senator Padilla broke down what’s really in the bill, why rural hospitals in California are at risk, and how the GOP is “robbing from the poor to give to the rich.”

We also talked about why he’s still in this fight and what it means when elected officials view government as a tool to help people instead of hurt them.
