Senator Tartaglione Speaks Out Against Harmful Republican Federal Budget Bill
Philadelphia, PA, Julio 1, 2025 – Senator Christine Tartaglione (D–2, Philadelphia) issues the following statement after the passage of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” by U.S. Senate Republicans.
“I’m angry, I’m concerned, and I’m heartbroken for the people I represent. My district has more Medicaid recipients than any other in Pennsylvania. These are working families, seniors, people with disabilities—people doing their best to survive. And now, 50 U.S. Senators and the Vice President have voted to take their care and their food away.
This bill is cruel. It puts lives at risk and threatens to push entire communities into crisis. I don’t know how some of my constituents will get the care they need if this becomes law, but I do know this: I will keep fighting.
I urge every Pennsylvanian to speak up. Call your representatives and make your voice heard. We cannot accept a future where the most vulnerable among us are treated as expendable.”
