Southern Nevadans aren\u2019t going to buy what he\u2019s trying to sell, because we feel what he\u2019s been doing to our pocketbooks,\u201d said Congresswoman Susie Lee. \u201cWhile you\u2019re paying more for gas, groceries, and health care, Donald Trump is getting richer. He\u2019s cutting health care for the most vulnerable members of our community to pay for tax breaks for the richest Americans, setting reckless tariffs that are making groceries more expensive, and dragging us into foreign wars that are raising fuel prices. It\u2019s not an accident, it\u2019s cruel corruption.\u201d\n\nThis is President Trump\u2019s second visit to Vegas to tout his budget bill since he signed it into law in July 2025. Since becoming law, the OBBBA has:\n\nKicked 14 million Americans off health care, including 30,000 southern Nevadans\n\nCut $911 billion from Medicaid which 1 in 4 Nevadans rely on\n\nCut $187 billion from SNAP which 16 million children, 4 million adults with disabilities, and 8 million senior citizens rely on. Approximately 4 million people, including 1 million children, will lose all or most of their benefits\n\nEnded ACA Tax Premiums which has caused health insurance costs to rise by 25%.\n\nOn top of these cuts, Nevada is currently experiencing a Trump Slump. Trump\u2019s tariffs, chaotic immigration policy, the war in Iran, and high grocery and gas prices are hurting working families and driving away the Canadian, Mexican, Southern California, and international tourism Nevada depends on. As tourism continues to decline under Trump's policies, many hospitality workers already don't make enough in tips to tax in the first place.\n\nCongresswoman Susie Lee remains committed to fighting for policies to will lower costs, encourage economic growth, and reverse the cuts made to health care and food assistance, while making No Tax on Tips permanent.\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-06T07:37:31Z", "2026-08-06T07:38:34Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://susielee.house.gov/media/press-releases/lee-stands-hardworking-nevadans-against-trumps-corruption-washington-making"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0660006664693356, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
