Tax Scam Resistance - Alaska

The federal government used artificial intelligence to review grants and flag anything it considered DEI.

The Alaska Native Language Center — a program preserving languages that survived colonization, boarding schools, and a century of erasure — had its grant flagged by ChatGPT and cut.
Not by a human being who read it and made a judgment. By a prompt.

This is what "cutting government waste" looks like in Alaska. Generations of cultural work, defunded by an algorithm.

They told us the tax cuts would pay for themselves.

They didn't.

They told us cutting Medicaid was about fiscal responsibility.
It isn't. The same bill that cuts healthcare for low-income Alaskans adds trillions to the national deficit because of the tax breaks at the top.

Fiscal responsibility is a costume. Look underneath it.

Medicaid covers more than 200,000 Alaskans.

That's not a small number in a state our size. That's your neighbor, your coworker's kid, the person behind you at Fred Meyer.

The cuts in H.R. 1 include work reporting requirements that take effect at the end of this year. The state's own analysis projects thousands of Alaskans will lose coverage — not because they stopped working, but because they couldn't navigate the paperwork fast enough.

Healthcare taken away by bureaucracy. That's the plan.

Let's be clear about has happened.

Congress passed a bill that cuts over a trillion dollars from Medicaid and food assistance programs. That same bill extended and expanded tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest people in the country.

They did not do these things separately. They did them in the same bill, at the same time, on purpose.

In Alaska, that means tens of thousands of people lose healthcare and food support so that people who already have more than enough can keep a little more.

That is the tax scam. And it is not an accident.

The same bill that cut $1 trillion from and slashed food assistance for working families also extended tax cuts for the wealthiest people in this country. The Trump administration isn't broke. It just decided you're not worth spending money on.

Alaska, The Senate must be ready to act if the House passes an ACA extension. No weak versions. Pass a CLEAN 3-year extension!

Despite all the horrible things going on, there are still people doing good things.

If you question resolve, check the wind chill. We will and demand that our leaders do the same for us. Forget that at the peril of your political future.
